AC MILAN CEO Adriano Galliani has told the returning Kaka that he has not joined a "team of bums", arguing that the Rossoneri remain Italy's No.1 team.
Juventus
may have won the title for the past two seasons but the 69-year-old
says that the statistics show that the San Siro outfit are still
superior.
"We are the first
Italian club in Europe; just look at the Uefa rankings," Galliani told
reporters at Kaka's official unveiling on Thursday.
"Milan, out
of those who play in the group stage, are the Italian team that has
scored the most points in the last five years: Milan 378 points, Juve
358 and Inter 354."
"I don't like this story that is told to us. We won a Scudetto three years ago. We were first up until April two years ago. Then, last yyear, we finished third.
"I claim both the past and present of Milan with pride.
"Ricky, I say these things because you have not arrived at a team of bums."
Kaka, who won the Ballon d'Or during his previous stint in Milan, has rejoined the Rossoneri after four years in Spain with Real Madrid.
