MILANELLO - Here are the declarations made today to 'Milan Channel' by Luca Antonini before the afternoon training session at the Milanello sporting center:


Luca, what effect did it have to return to Milanello?
"It was great to go out the back-door and come back in through the front door. A huge satisfaction for me. Also coming back on the day of the reunion with such a huge fan reception is always a big emotion. It's normal for a team like Milan to have so many fans coming, but the arrival of a player of Ronaldinho's calibre, which always has a huge media impact, there were even more fans. A player like Dinho helps you to give something more when you go on the pitch with him, you want to do almost as well as him and to compensate for your lesser technique by running and doing something more to improve yourself."


What are the objectives for the new season?
"To show that I'm worthy of being in a prestigious club like Milan. Then I want to continue working and improving like I did at Empoli. Here you can only learn from great champions, from the coach. I only have to be calm because sooner or later I will be given a chance and I will have to take it in the best way.
The experience at Empoli improved me a lot on the human level. Also from the tactical point of view, in these seven years away from Milan, I have had many coaches who have taught me a lot."


Do you think Milan will be able to bridge the gap from Inter next season?
"I think that the 20 points which were there at the end of last season won't be there this year. Inter have brought a player of great quality like Mancini, but Milan have bought Ronaldinho and we want revenge. I think we will play for the Scudetto along with Inter, Roma and Juventus."
