QUOTE Juve and Milan trade insults Wednesday 23 April, 2008 Juventus' general manager Jean-Claude Blanc has become embroiled in an argument with Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani. The Frenchman, who joined La Vecchia Signora in June 2006, reacted to competition from the Diavolo for Arsenal's Mathieu Flamini in a cheeky fashion. Asked why Flamini would choose the Bianconeri ahead of the Rossoneri, Blanc said: “Juve are in the Champions League and Milan aren't.†Galliani [pictured] didn't waste any time coming up with a response, sniping: “The Club World Cup champions cannot possibly reply to the newly-promoted Juventus.†Relations between the two clubs have been cordial since 2006 when the Turin giants were relegated and Milan were penalised for their part in the Calciopoli scandal. However, Juventus' competitiveness this term has marked the return of a historic antipathy which could spoil the Bianconeri's efforts to sign another of their targets, Genoa striker Marco Borriello, who is currently on loan from Milan. channel4 I see nothing wrong with what Blanc said. He was asked and he said what we all think... On the other hand, I find Galliani's response to be full of arrogance (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) and out of place. We've been saying that the CL is the most prestigious trophy at club level (and I agree with that) so we can't be acting as if it does not matter if we qualify for it or not now... |

It is the most prestigious tournament. And Flamini would have a better chance at getting his hands on it with Milan, than he would with Juve.
Galliani is the figure head of the club, if he was asked by reporters that Blanc said this about Milan ... I think he has every right to say so. |
