Here are the declarations of AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati after losing the Derby della Madonnina on
Sunday 22 December 2013 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy
for the Serie A Week 17 Inter 1 – 0 AC Milan,
AC MILAN GOALKEEPER CHRISTIAN ABBIATI
“We were under the cosh for the first few
minutes then we came out it well with a lot of possession. We created a
few chances and they didn’t then in the second half we dropped a bit
and they came forward. There’s a lot of bitterness. I’ve been here a
long time and when we lose a derby, I suffer a lot. We played a very
good game against a great team and we created chances as well but in the
end, it’s the result that counts. I’m Milanese and I’ve been at the
club for a long time. Losing the derby hurts.”
Serie A Standing AFTER the game:
Inter, 5th position with 31 points and a positive goal difference of +16
