Milan Need To Focus On Every Single Match Going Forward - Defender Ignazio Abate
The stopper knows that if his side is to win silverware at the end of the season, this is what needs to be done...

The Diavoli now sit nine points behind the Nerazzurri, and will need to focus on every match if they are to claim some silverware.
"It was a well-disputed match fought between two big clubs, and Inter were superior on this occasion," Abate told the club's official webbsite, AcMilan.com.
"Not having Alessandro Nesta did not predetermine the result, despite him being a stalwart in our defence.
"Praise must be given to Inter, who are a great side and demostrated how good they really are this evening.
"Milan must now think about every match that we play, and we still have a chance to win silverware at the end of the season. Nothing has been compromised in that respect," concluded Abate.
