SHEVCHENKO: 'More and more like a part of AC Milan'
1/8/2006
MILAN - Andriy Shevchenko said on the Milan Channel: ‘I am happy that I caught up to Josè Altafini’s 161 goals with the Rossonero because he was a great forward and was important to AC Milan. I also feel more and more like a part of this team’s history, but everything that I do is always for the collective good of the team. I dedicate my goal this evening to the children of Beslan and to all those that have lived with them through this tragedy.’ He then turned back to the game: ‘After a great first half, we slowed down a bit after halftime. I’m not happy about conceding three goals to Parma, we could have done better in the second half but we reacted when we were down a goal. We must still adjust something in the defence. We must continue to attack when we are winning and create opportunities to score like we did today. In the end we won and we have to be happy because it’s been 50 years since Milan have won on January 8th. Today we also broke this curse.’
