Kaka: Milan to go for kill

Kaka insists Milan will be 'going for the kill' against Manchester United in the San Siro.

Wayne Rooney's late winner secured United a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Brazilian ace Kaka, who scored both Milan goals, does not feel the Italians would be in a vastly improved position if the score was 2-2 and outlined the desire to attack in the second leg.

"Had we drawn 2-2, it would not have meant the second game would be any easier," Kaka told the Daily Telegraph. "We would still have had to work our socks off.

"The two teams are very similar, both very strong, who both espouse an attacking brand of football.

"We are two teams who instinctively like to come forward and attack. I think the combination of the teams makes it a joy to watch.

"So there is no guarantee we would be in a better position next week if we had come away with a 2-2. You could never hold back and settle for a draw against a team like Manchester United.

"The second leg will be an exciting match, because it would always be this way whenever these two teams of players meet. But we are going to go for the kill in the San Siro, to win outright."

Kaka also praised United duo Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are ranked among the world's best, along with the Milan playmaker.

He added: "They are both great players. Ronaldo, with his flair and pace, is like a Brazilian player and is amazing.

"Rooney is more a player of strength, but he can decide a game with his speed and strength.

"A lot of people are blaming Dida for that third goal, but the timing of the shot from Rooney was amazing.

"If I was the manager I would pick those two together all the time. I admire them both."
