Galliani keeps the faith
Wednesday 17 December, 2008

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani maintains that the Rossoneri are still in the Scudetto race.

The Diavolo suffered a costly 4-2 defeat against Juventus last weekend to fall nine points behind leaders Inter.

Yesterday Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi admitted that his target was Champions League qualification rather than the title.

“Nine points is a lot,” he said on the Milan Channel. “The Champions League place is our objective and I think we are able to achieve that.”

But director Galliani still has higher hopes for the outgoing world champions.

“We still have the Scudetto as an objective,” Galliani declared.

“We think that we have an ultra-competitive squad, but six or seven injuries is a lot.

“We just need some health. Last season we won two trophies and we are hoping to win something else this year.

“This Milan side is fighting for the Italian championship and the UEFA Cup and we will see if we manage to win at least one of these.”
