Emanuelson: “Milan have to return to winning ways”

URBY EMANUELSON doesn’t think the current place in the table is suitable for Milan and knows it’s a difficult moment.

The Rossoneri only have 13 points at the moment and the last time Milan collected so little points after 12 rounds of Serie A the year was 1981 (9 points, Milan got relegated at the end of that season) and they haven’t won a game in nearly a month.

Milan have decided to stick with coach Massimiliano Allegri and will hope to pick up more points in the next round in order to finish in a place that leads to a European competition. Urby Emanuelson says Milan have to start winning right away.

“The international break is important for us, as we now have some time to work even though we haven’t got a full squad seeing as some of the players are on international duty,” Urby told Milan Channel. “It’s important for me to play, and I’m satisfied with my performances against Barcelona and Chievo, even though we didn’t win, which is the most important thing.

“We have to return to winning ways because we’re number 10 in the league, and it’s not a good position for a club like Milan. It’s a difficult moment for the team. We’re feeling the pressure because we’re not playing well at the moment. Abbiati, Daniele Bonera and Kakà are very important for us in this period as they have the experience. Kakà works very hard in training and he’s like a captain for us. Getting all our injured players back will help us to get out of this negative moment.

“We have to start winning again – starting by the match against Genoa at San Siro. The match against Celtic will be very important. If we win then we will stay in second place, and that is very important for us. We must get a good result in Glasgow. The friendly match in Bern on Saturday? It will be useful for us in the sense that we will get to see some of the injured players return like El Shaarawy and De Sciglio. They are very important for the team, and they are ready to return to playing against. De Sciglio is incredible. He’s only 20 years old, but he’s a great talent and he is the future of Milan.

“Kevin Constant? We are very good friends, and we often talk,” Emanuelson added. Milan will play a friendly match on Sunday against Swiss side BSC Young Boys and as Emanuelson said, El Shaarawy and De Sciglio could be fit to play.
