MILANELLO - The training has just ended, Ignazio Abate smiles but recriminates, in the final training game his team lost, due to a decisive goal by Leonardo, who played in the opponent's team and also for some offsides which were not seen, he said. Not important, because if Ignazio has to recriminate, it is mostly due to the match against Lazio and on the missed opportunity:
"A real pity, I was with my back to the goal and in precarious balance, I saw all the opponents arrive and I hit the ball badly." However, this stop does not worry him: "There are three teams in three points," said Ignazio to Milan Channel, "They're not a lot and webelieve. We must arrive to May without regrets, during this season we have done well and against any prediction, but now it's clear that we don't want to feel satisfied, te objective is the top spot. Our season did not start in the best way, we have searched for the condition and tactical setup with great intensity, the results arrived and then there was a dip, which was physiological I think. However, now we are at a critical point of the season and we have the possibility of managing these seven weeks at our best. We could prepare one game at a week, something which Inter and Roma cannot do, we must remain behind them to put pressure and see what happens." The race on Milan resumes on Cagliari, against an opponent, the Sardinian one, which Ignazio considers tough: "Cagliari have reached their minimum objective, it's a team which does not have pressure on and it's also young and with a lot of run. Also, they are well organized from the tactical point of view, it will not be easy." One last thought goes to the Champions League, Manchester lost against Bayern, some regrets? "More than anything for the first leg game against Manchester, in the first phase of the game we could have scored more..."
