Christian Abbiati, intervistato da **********, ha espresso le sue considerazioni su questa stagione e sull'ipotetica rimonta all'Inter: "Scudetto al Milan. Sono sicuro. Questa stagione mi ricorda quella del titolo conquistato nel 1999, con Zaccheroni allenatore: Anche in quell'occasione conquistai il posto da titolare a campionato in corso. Sì, io ci credo".
flapped at crosses and looked generally shakey-should never be a no1 gk at a team like Milan

MILANELLO - Milan came together this afternoon at 15.00 on the lowered pitch of the Milanello sporting center and, before the afternoon training session ahead of tomorrow's match against Napoli, the Rossoneri's delegate administrator Adriano Galliani wanted to reward Christian Abbiati with a celebrative medal for his 200 official appearences with the Rossoneri's shirt. The 200th appearence was made in the last league match at San Siro against Chievo on Sunday 14 March 2010.
After the applause all his team mates gave Christian Abbiati for reaching this important target, Adriano Galliani commented on this to Milan Channel's microphones:
"Christian Abbiati was playing at Monza before joining Milan and was bought by our club in the summer of 1998 to be the third goalkeeper behind Jens Lehmann and Sebastiano Rossi.
As the third goalkeeper, Abbiati became the first choice in the last match of the first round of the season (Milan-Perugia 2-1 of 17 January 1999 in which Christian Abbiati replaced Sebastiano Rossi) and from that moment on he played all the matches of the second round of the season which ended with Perugia-Milan 1-2 and the victory of the Scudetto.
With Milan Christian Abbiati has always done well. Of him we remember his save on Bucchi (Perugia-Milan 1-2 of 23 May 1999) and his save on Kallon in the famous Champions League semifinal against Inter in 2003. There are many memories and we have Abbiati in our hearts.
Christian spent three years away from Milan, first one year at Juventus, then at Torino and finally at Athletic Madrid. Now he has finally returned home, I think, and for good."
This mistake was bound to happen at some point as he always, always knocks the ball violently upfield with his first touch - he never tries to control the ball first. He has been insecure in Napoli game also, and if we had Storari in bench, I would call for GK change. But currently he is still by far the best we got.
Adriano Galliani, speaking at the inauguration of Milan Golf Tour, also spoke of a market scenario of two summers ago, that he saw Hugo Lloris, then goalkeeper emerging Nice, very close to AC Milan but the deal then jumped and the holder French National, League at Lyon. AD Rossoneri explained the background to the negotiations saying, "Lloris was practically our summer 2008 and had already reached an agreement with him and his attorney (who is the father ed) but refused to move to Palermo Abbiati blew the deal. "

Christian Abbiati is convinced he can become Milan's first choice goalkeeper, despite the arrival of Marco Amelia.
The 33-year-old is recovering from injury and is eager to challenge for his place, but knows he faces an exacting task ahead of the new campaign.
"Amelia's arrival? I am training hard at 100 per cent and with intensity because I want to be the first choice," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I hope to stay fit and without any physical problems so I can enjoy a serene championship.
"But then it's the coach who decides. In any case I don't think the fight is between me and Amelia only as there is Flavio Roma too."
Abbiati's hope for a regular slot is linked with his ambition to revive the burning embers of his Italy career.
"La Nazionale? If [Cesare] Prandelli calls me then I will run to him," he concluded.

For the first time in the history of Milan, since there are custom numbers, the number one jersey could not be worn by any of the current three goalkeepers Rossoneri.
Christian Abbiati should confirm his historic No. 12, Roma wore 31 last season while Amelia could take his 32, which accompanies many years.
I don't get it ... why? It hints that we are still on the market, but I don't see that happening with our management since they already already signed Amelia.
That would be demoralising current keepers. I don't think it's a good idea. Where has it been done before?Mostly they assuming that No.1 Jersey is resigned till the deserved GK have it, they are not hinting for the Market subsistence.
Even if we linked to "Maarten Stekelenburg" he is for sure not in our budget boundary at the moment.
