That is the way it should be and I have not read what Honda has said but he speaks when he is back in Japan but not here.

You need more than skill to win. Maybe Bayern Munich or Barcelona can get away with that. You need personality and desire as well and we will need that against Bologna. We need to improve our mentality&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&#34;I do not think Boateng will start but we have everyone available apart from Balotelli, Menez and Romagnoli. Berlusconi give me the chance to coach this team and it is a best present possible. Boateng will be useful. We will have Balotelli and Menez back soon. When Balotelli is fit he will back in full training. He should be back by mid-January or towards the end of the month. It is the same discussion with Menez. It has not been too cold here in Milan so they have started working with the play but at the moment it is personalised training&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.acmilan.com&#34;&gt;www.acmilan.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
