It is quite difficult at AC Milan to concentrate on the daily Serie A business. First off David Beckham floats in. Then the heavy-pocketed Manchester City say they would like to whisk away playmaker Kaka - preferably on the next jet towards the island. But coach Carlo Ancelotti's team were able to shrug off the distractions in front of a sold-out home crowd Saturday against Fiorentina and knock off the Tuscany team 1-0 to move into a Champions League spot.

 

The deciding goal fell after just seven minutes. David Beckham energetically crossed in a poor corner kick to Marek Jankulowski. The Czech international passed into the area where Alexandre Pato was entirely uncovered and the young Brazilian struck home from the left side for his sixth goal in the last four Serie A games and ninth of the current season.

 

The much-heralded Kaka played 90 minutes under the watchful eyes and celebrations of the Rossoneri fans. One banner even read: "Kaka non si tocca!" - a play on the phrase used at fine porcelain shops translating to "You don't touch Kaka!". And the rich back in Manchester will not have a problem with that. But it remains to be seen if the Kaka transfer even happens by the time Werder face off with Milan in the UEFA Cup.
