Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is unflustered by recent criticism of the Rossoneri and says that the detractors will be proved wrong once again.

The European Champions have drawn their last three league games and are already starting to lag behind the early pace-setters. On Saturday Milan could only manage a hugely disappointing draw at home to Parma, while the week before a 90th minute Alessandro Nesta goal was required to salvage a point at lowly Siena. 

This has led to various accusations, including claims that Milan are not taking the Scudetto-race seriously and only have intentions of fighting for the Champions League. The Rossoneri have also been branded as too old and unable to compete on both a domestic and European front. 

“I am absolutely calm with all of this,” said Galliani. “We have a great manager and the best players.” 

“We are used to these types of criticism. It has always been the same but at the end of every season our critics have always ended up eating their words.” 

Milan travel to Sicily on Wednesday for a tough match against Palermo at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.

“We are used to these types of criticism. It has always been the same but at the end of every season our critics have always ended up eating their words.” 

...at the end of every season our critics have always ended up eating their words.

Yes, Galliani's being investigated, but the Merda are in worse trouble. If the allegations against them are correct, they will have not met solvency requirements for competition in Serie A for two years. That's...very bad.
