Wow, this thread is pindrop-silent.
Anyway, 10e, would you mind taking a crack at this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Abbiati: "E´ arrivato il momento di ripartire" Dopo la confortante vittoria in Coppa Uefa, il Milan adesso è chiamato alla conferma in Campionato. Ieri il portiere Abbiati ha parlato con la Gazzetta dello Sport e, in questa maniera, ha spiegato perchè può dirsi fiducioso: "Io mi sento tranquillo. Conosco questa società e questo gruppo. Restando uniti potremo uscir fuori da questa minicrisi in campionato e lo faremo. Nei momenti delicati lo abbiamo sempre fatto e non siamo rimasti a mani vuote. E´ arrivato il momento di ripartire. Rispetto ai miei colleghi Dida e Kalac ho sicuramente qualcosa in meno: i capelli. Sono ritornato qui per mettermi in discussione. Per il campionato, sono state giocate due partite, è presto per dire che siamo fuori dai giochi: ci basta un successo per tornare in corsa. Ora sono tornato com’ero perché sono tornato a credere in me stesso, ma se ero diventato diverso non è colpa degli altri: è colpa mia". (Mediagol) |

Just curious, how many clean sheets have we kept this season, in how many games, including friendlies/Europe. We must have a terrible record.

QUOTE I Am A Fascist - Abbiati The shot stopper has been used sparingly by coach Carlo Ancelotti and he has been comfortable with his new role at the club. Abbiati has decided to share his views on life away from the pitch and his revelations are likely to cause a stir in the football world. "I am not ashamed of showing my political beliefs," Abbiati told Sportweek. "I agree with some aspects of fascism like Patriotism and the values of the Catholic religion. "Of Fascism I disagree with racial laws, allegiance to Hitler and the war but I like the capacity Fascism had to secure law and order, It guaranteed security for the people." Although he has clearly stated his beliefs and disbeliefs regarding his political stance, Abbiati is unlikely to win any admirers in the world of football. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Well, at least the guy is upfront about what he believes in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Gotta give him at least that! I never was an Abbiati fan, so that's that. Still as long as he keeps on improving (unlike now, where he's struggling to keep a clean sheet).

Much better than being a communist! And he knows what he's talking about, he says he's a fascist but he does not agree with everything that goes with it and that's the way to go, you can't be fascist about everything just like you can't be democratic about everything and so on...

So anyway, Abbiati currently has the highest average player ranking of all Milan players (6.4). Not my favourite player by any stretch of the imagination but he's really been doing rather well.

QUOTE I'm a fascist, says AC Milan star Christian Abbiati One of Silvio Berlusconi's players at AC Milan has declared he is a fascist. Christian Abbiati, 31, an Italian international, said: "I am not ashamed to proclaim my political beliefs. I share [the] ideals of fascism, such as the fatherland and the values of the Catholic religion." The goalkeeper's remarks, published today in Sportweek magazine, come amid debate over Italy's fascist past and rightwing present under the leadership of AC Milan's billionaire chairman. The minority partner in Berlusconi's parliamentary alliance, the Freedom People, is a party spun out of the country's neo-fascist movement. Some members remain unabashed apologists for the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. The defence minister, Ignazio La Russa, sparked a row this month after he paid tribute to Italian soldiers who fought alongside German troops in the second world war. His comments came after the mayor of Rome, Gianno Alemanno, told a magazine he did not consider fascism an "absolute evil". Berlusconi dodged a question on his own views, replying: "I think only of working to resolve the problems of the Italian people." from: guardian.co.uk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

But it's sad to see how obviously people in Italy are misinterpreted what fascism really is. Other then that, I don't really care. At least not till the players start act like Paolo Di Canio. Now that was a frightening persona.. |

After comforting victory in the UEFA Cup, Milan is now looking to the Championship. Yesterday, their goalkeeper Abbiati spoke with Gazzetta dello Sport, and explained why he's confident: "I feel calm. I understand this team and this group. Together we can pull out from this mini-crisis in league and we will do so. We have always done so in delicate moments, and we've never left empty-handed. It time to start over. Compared to my other teammates, Dida and Kalac I certainly have less hair. (Sure you do, chap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) I returned here to gauge myself. As far as the the championship is concerned, we've played only two matches, it is too early to predict that we're out of the running; if anything we've just kicked into gear in this race. Now, I came back here because I wanted to believe in myself, but if I had a different way of thinking before, it was not the fault of others: It was my fault.

QUOTE L’A.C. Milan comunica che il calciatore Christian Abbiati è stato sottoposto oggi ad Anversa a visita specialistica dal prof. Martens. Il controllo ha confermato la diagnosi e la complessa tipologia di infortunio. Abbiati svolgerà per due/tre settimane un lavoro di riabilitazione, per poi tornare in Belgio dove verrà sottoposto ad intervento chirurgico. I can see the word "surgery" there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

He was examined in Belgium by Dr. Martens. It's a complex type of injury. He'll do therapy for a couple of weeks before returning to Belgium for surgery.

You saw Favalli hobbling around briefly after their knees connected, but Abi definitely got the worst of it as he was moving at a faster speed than Favalli when they clashed.

Not-so-breaking news from Ch. 4 confirms what everyone already knew.
QUOTE (Channel 4) Season over for Abbiati
Monday 16 March, 2009 It has been confirmed that Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati will need surgery on his knee and will be out for the rest of the season. The former Torino custodian had to be stretchered off in agony after 13 minutes of Milan's demolition of Siena. Abbiati accidentally collided with teammate Giuseppe Favalli and ruptured ligaments in his right knee. “Milan would like to communicate that Abbiati saw Professor Marco Martens in Antwerp. “The tests undertaken have revealed the extent of his injury and he will now need two or three weeks of rehabilitation before returning to Belgium for surgery.” Abbiati is expected to return to action at the start of next season, leaving Nelson Dida to take over the gloves during the current campaign. |

Not sure why Ch. 4 wanted Abs' opinion on the Juve soap opera, but dare I say it, this proves that he definitely has some zebra blood in his veins. I condensed this into larger paragraphs because I can't stand Ch. 4's one-sentence-paragraph style.
QUOTE (Channel 4) Juve leave Abbiati speechless
Wednesday 6 May, 2009 Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati is at a loss to explain what has gone wrong with Juventus in recent weeks. The Bianconeri have fallen to third place, five points behind the Rossoneri after a run of five games without a victory. Juventus travel to Milan this weekend and many believe the result will ultimately decide who will finish the season in second place. Abbiati, who played for Juventus in 2005 and 2006, thinks the game has a much greater significance, though. “The two teams will play for more than second place. Milan come into this game after a good period, while Juve are facing a small crisis,” Abbiati said. “This does not mean Milan start as favourites because I think that in front of our colours Juve will find the right motivation.” When asked if Gigi Buffon was right to express his frustration when Juventus fell behind to Lecce on Sunday, Abbiati replied: “I am very sorry for him because I know he is one who never gives up. To see this reaction has given me a little bitterness, but I can understand that in some moments you can also say things you don't really think. “Anyway, I think that he can get through this moment with relative ease,” the 31-year-old Abbiati explained. The former Atletico Madrid and Torino goalkeeper believes Buffon's anger is emblematic of Juventus' current plight. “Pavel Nedved threw his jersey away. These are the sorts of things that hurt Juventus fans. It's difficult to interpret a situation of this kind. “Juventus were doing well until a couple of weeks ago, and then they had this physical and mental decline. To give an explanation is difficult. When I was there I can say that the group was very united,” Abbiati concluded. |

Ah, just found this on goal.com
QUOTE The shot-stopper’s representative has dismissed reports his client is keen to exit the San Siro because of Dida's resurgence...
The agent of Christian Abbiati has insisted the Milan goalkeeper has no intention of leaving the club in January despite slipping down the pecking order this season. Abbiati was the Rossoneri’s first choice under Carlo Ancelotti last season, but after recovering from knee ligament surgery he has found out that new boss Leonardo is intent on sticking with his compatriot Dida, who has turned in a string of impressive performances and is reportedly set to earn a new deal. “Christian is not unhappy,” his agent Claudio Vigorelli told TeleLombardia yesterday. “He has talked to the boss and everything was cleared up.” Genoa are said to be mulling over a January bid to lure Abbiati to the Stadio Marassi. “We have not talked to anyone,” insisted the representative. “Christian is part of the club’s plans and he has never thought about leaving Milan. “He is not at 100 per cent yet, but when he will be in January, then it is going to be up to Leonardo to make his technical choices. “There is no Abbiati-gate. Milan are happy to have him as well as he is to be here.” |

Abbiati has just signed a contract extension until 2013.
Keep in mind that the last time Abi signed an extension, his knee was torn to shreds. Storari injured himself shortly after signing his, and is now with his third club in less that many seasons. |

It's a great deal. It's always good to have a secured first keeper before season start, which now is underlined.
@Miz - it's just a coincidence, doesn't mean anything really. |

Abbiati suffered a thigh strain against Parma, and will be undergoing tests to evaluate the situation. I am not sure if this is accurate, would someone concur ? And how long will he be out for ?

He has a suspected thigh strain. Further investigation is underway I think. Not sure if he's going to be out at all...never mind for how long. Since we're headed into an international break.

I'd like to test Amelia some time, but Abbiati's late performances were on a high level so it would really be a loss.

Egad, the dreaded thigh strain. That was what suddenly earned Storari a bunch of frequent flyer miles last season.

Last season (almost exactly a year ago, as a matter of fact), Storari decided to imitate Rene Higuita and pull off the scorpion kick during practice right before Milan's game vs. Roma. He screwed it up and missed a month with a thigh strain.
Dida took his place in the lineup and Storari was therefore loaned to Samp. Now he's currently with Juventus. That's what I meant by frequent flyer miles. |
