Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani insists the Rossoneri will bounce back from recent troubles against Celtic, but denies there has been any panic.

The alarm bells have started ringing as the Diavolo haven’t chalked up a Serie A win since their opening-day triumph over Genoa.

Last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Catania at the San Siro has left boss Carlo Ancelotti under pressure, but Galliani sees Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Celtic as a chance to reaasert their credentials.

“I want to remind people with short memories that we fought to the end in this competition in 2004, 2005 and 2006,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We are a side that won the European Super Cup just a month ago and while we do need to improve in the League I don’t understand why people are so worried about us.

“It’s not true that we don’t consider the Scudetto a target as we have been close for three of the last four years. As well as Champions League success, we must finish in the top four at least.”

Milan had to fight hard to see of Celtic at the last 16 stage last term. The Bhoys held them 0-0 at Parkhead and it took an extra-time goal from Kaka at the San Siro to win the tie.

“Celtic are a physically strong side with great fans and a beautiful stadium,” Galliani continued. “We can only wait and see what happens, but we are like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.”

Galliani concluded by dismissing rumours that there is a dressing room rift between Ancelotti, Clarence Seedorf and Kaka.

“In the past there have been things said in the dressing room and there was an exchange of opinions after the Catania game, but there is no big problem,” he stressed.

Anceotti is waiting on a late fitness test to see whether goalkeeper Nelson Dida will return for Zeljko Kalac.

"I don’t understand why people are so worried about us."

People are worried because we are heading into the 7th week of Serie A already and we only managed 1 single win so far. That is a record a team like Parma should have not a team like Milan

He might as well just keep going with this since he is 75% to balme for out current situation

people are worried because we shouldn't be fighting with EVERY team in Serie A. We should only be fighting with Roma, Inter and (maybe) Juve.

The past few years we have had to fight against teams that we have no business troubling over.

ADRIANO GALLIANI: "If We Do Well In Europe..."
10/2/2007
MILAN - Even Adriano Galliani faced the cameras and the journalists this morning at Malpensa: "The song of the Champions for the league games? I have the Milan anthem on my mobile phone and that's enough...Milan must not change skin between the league and the Champions League, Milan must do like it always did in Europe and soon we will take advantage even in the league." | |

As well as Champions League success, we must finish in the top four at least.

i wonder why we need to end fourth? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) so the vicious cycle can continue? no but seriously... for a team like milan, success in the league can only mean winning the scudetto not finishing in the top 4 (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

whether they are in panic mode or not doesnt really matter, the fact of the matter is 1 win in 6 games?!?!?! he fact that they arent even worried shows how dedicated they are to the league. this guy really is a mumbling fool...

btw theres around 5-6 teams besides inter and roma that have the objective to finish in the top 4 and only that... i guess we're lost so much dignity in the past few yars that we've been reduced to this.

The thing for me is the way we are playing. its not just about winning its we have become a 3rd rate offensive power in the game of football. Two years ago it was us and Barcelona and now we can barely score for our lives.

Mourinhos available. Get rid of Ancelotti and get something new in this team. I'm tired of the boring christmas tree formation.

Oh dear...

Yet again Galliani should have kept his mouth shut! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
