? Milan coach urges his players to focus on league title ? 'Side doesn't need to be transformed, it needs to be intelligent' The Milan coach, Leonardo, has urged his side to forget their 4-0 humiliation at Manchester United in the Champions League and focus on challenging for the Serie A title. "I had imagined a different game at Old Trafford," said the Brazilian. "We had structural problems but we also have to recognise the strength of our rivals. "I nevertheless believe that one should not judge Milan based on the game at Old Trafford. We are still second in Serie A, four points behind Inter. Let's focus on our strengths and not be conditioned by the negative result at Manchester United. "This Milan side does not need to be transformed, it just needs to be intelligent and make sure this setback does not have a negative effect on our aims this season." Milan's city neighbours Internazionale are still in the Champions League and will take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next week after winning the first leg at San Siro. Once again, the Inter coach, Jose Mourinho, will have to watch his side's match at Catania on Friday from the stands while he completes a touchline ban. Inter's players believe his absence in recent games has hindered their performances ? the Nerazzurri have drawn four of their last five games. "If the team plays well and with the right attitude, there is no need to have the coach on the bench to win," Mourinho said. "I am not the one that is playing. I don't score. I don't make the saves."
