Galliani - Pato suffered fouls a lot

On his arrival at Via Rossellini, headquarters of the Lega Calcio, the general manager of the Rossoneri, Adriano Galliani, replied to the questions of the journalists this morning, speaking about various current issues.

These are the declarations of the Rossoneri's general manager at the entrance of the Lega Calcio, in Via Rossellini in Milan.

ON THE MARKET DECLARATIONS MADE YESTERDAY BY KAKA
"I don't speak about the transfer market. Even though Kaka spoke about the market I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we won't speak about the market before the end of the season. I have very clear ideas in my head, but I won't announce them before May 31."

ON THE SECOND PLACE IN THE STANDINGS
"I don't like making predictions, Juve are just two points ahead of us, but we have Genoa behind us who are doing very well and even Fiorentina, we'll see what happens. It's difficult, but this is football."

ON THE FOULS SUFFERED BY PATO
"On Pato I repeat what I already said: Pato is scientifically fouled as soon as he goes on the pitch, hoping that since he's still young, then he starts staying away from the action, which at times happens. I enjoy watching the games and I saw that in the last two away games Pato was scientifically fouled in the first minutes. If you notice, in the second half, when the lad tries to stay away, he is hit less. The defenders have always hit the attackers, but the treatment towards Pato, in my opinion, is a bit excessive. However, it's up to the referees to verify if this is all good or bad. I think that the referees have the duty not to safeguard, but to stop the violent game and I hope that they do so in the next games."

ON ADRIANO, TO DIVORCE FROM INTER
"No one ever thought about Adriano. Milan does not go into this issue which is of Inter."
