MILANELLO – These are the declarations made exclusively to Milan Channel by Christian Abbiati, between the two workouts today:

“There were double celebrations, for what happened and for saving the result right at the end of the first half. It has been a long time since I played, but I was ready and I’m happy. We had an excellent first half, we moved well. It wasn’t as good in the second half, but all in all we had a good game. Bocchetti and Antonelli are two talented guys. I’m glad that they are demonstrating their quality in our shirt. It is right we are concentrating on the match in Verona. We must remember that we have not done anything yet. We have to be more consistent in our performance and results because we are further down the table and we have to get back up.

The Chievo match is important and when they face us they give something extra. The coach has a lot of players to pick from. Until last Sunday he always changed formation and this has not been of help in finding consistency. The coach still has clear ideas and the players are able to play any role. The fans have always been on our side over the last two years. On Sunday they produced a beautiful choreography and we noticed that. This has definitely helped.”
