AC Milan goalkeeper, Marco Amelia, has fired warning shots towards his former club US Palermo as the two teams go head-to-head on Wednesday, April 20. Amelia said that his team are well aware of the importance of the Coppa Italia and they are focused on
making it to the finals.
The first leg of the semi-final will be played this Wednesday at San Siro as the Rossoneri aim for a domestic double. Milan are currently leading the Italian top flight with 71 points, 6 points ahead of second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, and 8 points clear of the defending
champions Inter Milan.
The men in red and black jerseys are focused on winning the Scudetto and are looking forward to Coppa Italia title as well. Amelia, while talking to the media, said:
“We really care about the Italian Cup, just as much as the Scudetto. It would be important for us at Milan this season to complete the domestic double.”
The Italian International goalkeeper spent two seasons at Stadio Renzo Barbera until 2008 and was very respectful towards his former outfit. The gloves-man insisted that the Daviolo are not taking Palermo as an easy opponent.
“Their win at Roma over the weekend will have rejuvenated them and that may cause us problems,” added the goalkeeper. They have a lot of young players who are enthusiastic to do well. It’ll be hard for us too because we know how much Palermo want the Cup.
We’ll have to be very alert. Although they have had their difficulties recently, they can play good football.” Amelia admitted.

Rossi was sacked in February and Serse Cosmi was brought in, but little changed in term of results. Delio Rossi was duly brought back as Cosmi was shown the door.
