Galliani labels A.S Roma as Scudetto contenders and expecting a tough game against the Giallorossi
A.C Milan Vice-President, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 Galliani, has labelled A.S Roma as genuine contenders for the Scudetto in the 2011/12 season.
Milan will face the Giallorossi in their next league game on Saturday, October 29th, 2011 at the Stadio Olimpico Rome. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, who are undergoing a major overhaul in the team, have got off to a decent start to the new season.
Luis Enrique’s men have picked up 11 points from eight matches played thus far and are positioned 9th in the league table. On the other hand, the Italian Champions have started to bounce back after a slow start to the season and are 5th in the table after picking up 14 points from their eight matches.
Roma manager, Luis Enrique, shrugged off his team’s chances of winning the Scudetto in a recent interview and believes that they are still in the process of rebuilding and have to wait until the next season to challenge for it.
However, Galliani insists that the Giallorossi pose a genuine threat to the defence of Milan’s title and will fight for the top place. The chief is predicting a tough game at the weekend and has warned his team of the threat posed by their rivals.
While talking to the reporters, Galliani said, “It’ll be a very difficult game. It’ll also be a match between two sides who have Scudetto aspirations.”
The 67-year-old is delighted with his team’s recent run of form and believes that they have shown true class to get back to the top half of the table. The Italian is predicting a tough battle for the top spot and insists that several teams will fight for the top honour this season.
“We knew that if we could go on a run of victories then we could go from the bottom half of the table to the top positions. The championship race is now wide open again.”
Juventus are currently leading the league table but only 5 points separate them with the 11th placed, Siena.
Milan have had a strong start to their UEFA Champions League campaign and are placed top of their group.
