THE SHORT MEMORY

10/2/2007

At times the memory is long when you arrive at Athens or Montecarlo, but Milan reminds everyone what they have done in the past 4 years in the league: Scudetto and fight for the top positions....GALLIANI SPEAKS

MILAN - Here are all the declarations of Adriano Galliani this morning at the airport of Malpensa before the departure towards Scotland for the Champions League: "My sensations are good, these are the sensations of European Champions, of a team which is going to play its second match of the year in the Champions League, good as always in these cases. The future? Milan is like the phoenix, it resurges from its ashes...In any case this is a group that won trophies up till a month ago. Celtic? It's a solid team, physically very strong. We also know that we will find an enthusiastic set of fans, but at the same time well-behaved, and directors with excellent sportsmanship, like it happens in this marvellous competition which is the Champions League."

The the other questions to Adriano Galliani. For example, even you think that the players should listen to the Champions League music before the league games?: "I don't know, maybe we shall think about it. On my mobile have the Milan anthemn. Now let's see how it goes in Glasgow, maybe even I change it...Anyway we're in the Champions League and in this competition, as the name says, the Champions play in it, and the champions play and let play in it. If I spoke with the team? No, I spoke on the phone with some players and the reason is simple. Yesterday I gave the 25 players a copy of the Champions League trophy which we won in Athens and someone phoned me to thank me. Ancelotti-Kaka? Nothing in particular. In the past other things happened in the dressing room, but there was no TV to show it. Now a small exchange of views is filmed and maybe becomes a case, but it's ok."

Then finally on the league: "I would like to remind to those who have a short memory, and in these days there are many, even though it becomes longer when we arrive in Athens or in Montecarlo, that we have always given important ot the league. In 2004 we have won, in 200 and 2006 we fought head to head with Juventus and last year we met the difficulties which everyone knows about."
