Christian Abbiati warns AC Milan of Napoli threat in the Serie A
The Serie A race is getting closer and closer as the season is drawing to its end, promising an exciting finish. AC Mlilan are currently leading the flight with Napoli just 3, and the rivals Inter Milan just 5 points adrift.
The League leaders prepare to host the 2nd placed Napoli on the 28 of February, 2011 at Stadio Guiseppe Meazza. A win for the visiting side will bring them level on points with the Rossoneri’s and will give an opportunity to Leonardo’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan
to finish the gap on the first two sides by winning their game against Sampdoria on Sunday, the 27 of February.
AC Milan’s top goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Abbiati-c9046 has stressed on the importance of the game against Napoli and has demanded very high concentration levels from his team-mates for the top flight clash.
Abbiati does not want the other teams to even have a sniff of the title and therefore wants no more than a win over Napoli to stretch their lead even further.
The goalkeeper also requested the crowd to back them up in numbers and play the part of a 12th player on the pitch. Winning would have the same meaning for the players and fans alike.
"It will be a great challenge. I think the stadium will be full, there will be many people there, including the Napoli supporters," Abbiati added.
The 33-year-old Italian was all praises for the Napoli side and has warned his Rossoneri outfit of any sort of complacency against a side who have enjoyed a great run of form throughout the season. The clash between the top two sides on Monday could prove
to be vital in the title race.
"Napoli is having a great season and demonstrating continuity in their results. It won't be easy as there are no easy games, but it's a very important opportunity to add some space between us and them." Abbiati further added.
AC Milan will have their work cut out despite the fact that they beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 away from home when the two teams met earlier in the season.
