Abbiati: ‘The squad is already competitive enough’

CHRISTIAN ABBIATI has the desire to start.

The new season is almost here, and AC Milan goalkeeper has shared his views over the new season yesterday at the Milan Megastore where the new home kit was presented.

“I think that the squad is already competitive enough, as we showed last year. The enthusiasm and the desire to succeed are there; we just need to get the season off on the right foot,” Abbiati told.

AC Milan have loaned Marco Amelia from Genoa this year, but the 33-year-old ‘keeper feels no pressure from the competition for the starting spot.

“I think purely about training and that’s all. Since I arrived at Milan, I have had to fight to earn my place and I think I will keep on doing it for the next two years,” Abbiti said.

The player has just renewed his contract to 2013.

“As soon as Mr. Galliani offered me a contract extension until 2013, I signed straight away. I never had any problems reaching an agreement,” he said.
