We Must Remain Calm, Says Maldini

The Milan captain does not believe that the Rossoneri are going through a crisis despite the defeat against Empoli on Sunday at San Siro.

Paolo Maldini's return did not help Milan as the Rossoneri suffered yet another setback in Serie A on Sunday when Empoli defeated the European Champions 1-0 at San Siro.

"The fact we're behind the others annoys us," admitted the Milan captain. "Not only on Inter, but also on all of the other teams in the top positions.

"However, we're not in a crisis," pointed out quickly Maldini. "We must only remain calm. When we went back in the dressing room there was an unreal silence and Galliani's words comforted us."

For Maldini, having so many players missing upfront is a big reason for what is happening right now.

"Let's remember that we were missing three attackers and this has conditioned more than we expected. We had few solutions in attack."

Following this defeat, Milan are now in 11th place, with 10 points from 8 matches played, 10 points behind league leaders Inter.

No questions !!!

When he speaks all shall listen. If he says 3 strikers then 3 strikers it is, he says half a dozen then so be it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not because of who he is but I'd agree with him. Ronie is 1, I'd count Pato as 2 because we signed him in the summer & Sergio as 3.

By the way, I've always wondered why Pato can't play for us. Other players have played for foreign teams before they were 18, which he has been since September. I heard something about it being his contract with Internacional but surely this would've been rescinded when he left them for us?
