<div><p>AC Milan forward Ronaldinho said his team will need to concentrate for 90 minutes against Inter Milan on Sunday to avoid a repeat of the 4-0 thrashing they suffered earlier this season.</p><p>Milan looked destined for a long hard season when they crumbled at home to the champions in only rookie coach Leonardo's second game in charge.</p><p>That defeat put such a dent in the team's confidence that they managed only three wins and a paltry six goals in their first nine matches in all competitions.</p><p>But since then Milan, and Ronaldinho in particular, have rebounded in spectacular fashion leading to one of the most eagerly anticipated Milan derbies in recent years, seen as a genuine title clash.</p><p>"If we don't arrive at this derby in good condition we could risk losing by the same result (as in August)," Ronaldinho told Sky Sport.</p><p>"We must concentrate for 90 minutes so that what happened in the first derby does not happen again. We need to win and go home with the three points."</p><p>Ronaldinho has been pivotal in Milan's rise after an inglorious first season in Italy.</p><p>Having lost his way in his last season at Barcelona, during which he fell out of favour with coach Frank Rijkaard, he came to Milan citing the need for a change of scenery and new stimuli.</p><p>But despite beginning well in the first half of the season he fell out of favour during the second half of the campaign and hardly played.</p><p>But now he is back and five goals in his last two matches are testament to just how much Ronaldinho has improved since his darkest days.</p><p>"What's the reason for the comeback in my form? I'm not playing alone, we're talking about a great moment for the team, from (goalkeeper) Dida to (targetman Marco) Borriello," said the 30-year-old.</p><p>"Everyone is playing well and so it's easier for everyone. My job is simple, create goals and score some as well if it's possible.</p><p>"If everyone's pulling their weight, things go well for me."</p><p>Ronaldinho's improved form has sparked talk of a recall to Dunga's Brazil team, but the former Barca man doesn't want to think about that.</p><p>"I'm not thinking about that at the moment, my head is 100 percent on doing well for Milan, helping the team and letting things happen naturally.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=67532476&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
