Milan chief Silvio Berlusconi maintains that he has great faith in Rossoneri boss Carlo Ancelotti.
The tactician is highly regarded in the city after his success as firstly a player and then Coach with the giants.
However, there have been a few signs of tension between himself and Berlusconi despite his triumphs in recent terms.
"There are no problems between us, otherwise he wouldn’t be our Coach," stated Berlusconi. "It is you journalists who create all this mess.
"However, it is clear that a side like Milan should know how to dominate and win a game. We need to learn how to hide the ball."
Milan were considered as invincible a few seasons ago but Juventus and Inter are now well balanced rivals.
"Juve and Inter are not stronger than us," noted the media mogul. "All three will fight until the very end for Lo Scudetto, even if a lot depends on how things will go in the Champions League."
Berlusconi also commented on the fears that Paolo Maldini, 37, is considering retiring from the game.
"He can take a break if he wants," explained Berlusconi. "He represents a miracle which is repeated every season.
"I’m not worried at all about Maldini. He will return to be a key factor for us this season.
"Fans should remain calm too because Milan are still the great Milan that we all know."
