Moratti: Milan teams not as strong as before

Inter Milan club president Massimo Moratti admitted that his side and their cross-city rivals AC Milan are not as strong as before. “Milan have sold some important players, while we are gradually introducing youngsters,” Moratti was quoted as saying by football-italia.net Monday. “Neither Milan nor ourselves have a super squad anymore, though we still hope that results arrive. Unfortunately, we can no longer allow ourselves to sign a player who costs 20 million euros or more.” The Nerazzurri were being backed by the majority of football tips to collect a comfortable win against Siena at the weekend, but they were stunned 0-2 at San Siro. Meanwhile, AC Milan football head coach Massimiliano Allegri’s woes were exacerbated when he was handed a one-match touchline ban. The beleaguered tactician, whose side has lost three matches out of four played this season, was banned on Monday for shouting insults at the referee during the loss at Udinese. He will have to watch the Cagliari game on Wednesday from the stands. From gulftoday
