What They're Saying

AC Milan center-back Alex (via Football Italia): "It [the 1-1 draw against Fiorentina] can prove to be an important point for us, but now we must prepare the game against Palermo [on Sunday] well because we want to win. They are a strong side, so we'll have to be careful from the first minute and we'll have to play with strength because it is very important for us to win."

"We have dropped four points against Fiorentina and Cagliari," he added. "But we still sit six points adrift of Juventus and Roma. I think that we can still improve and fight for the top positions in the League."
