Kaka targeting AC Milan turnaround at Celtic

Kaka feels it is about time AC Milan got back to winning ways.

The Rossoneri have saluted just once in all competitions since late October - which was a 3-1 triumph in their last Champions League outing against FC Basel - but their form domestically has been less than desirable.

Draws with Lazio, Chievo and Genoa plus losses to Parma and Fiorentina in their past five Serie A outings has Milan lacking confidence but Brazilian playmaker Kaka is determined to change that in Tuesday night's important Champions League clash with Celtic.

"This is going to be a very difficult match. But, by winning tomorrow, we could kick-start our season," said Kaka.

"We could even qualify if we win and the other result (Ajax versus Barcelona) goes in our favour.

"It's definitely a challenge to put indifferent form and off-field problems to the side.

"At this moment, the atmosphere is a little bit tense, but this tension is not bad sometimes.

"Sometimes you can use this tension and this pressure for a good reason and it could be a bit motivation for us.

"We are always under pressure at Milan…the pressure to end that bad run certainly gets more and more."
