AC Milan v Cagliari Preview Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri “I feel gratified by the club's market movements but most of all, I feel lucky as a coach. In the last year and a half, they've brought in 20 players, all great players. Maxi Lopez has good physique as well as technique. He can play up front alone or with a partner. He'll do well here." "We played a good game on Thursday. Technically we played well apart from a bit of defensive mistakes at the start of the game. After that, we conceded practically nothing to Lazio. We have to try and get to the end of January as best we can starting from tomorrow's game against Cagliari, who always play well against the bigger teams. We need three points tomorrow to get to February in the right way." "Cagliari have brought in Dessena and Conti is coming back. They've bought Pinilla and Astori is back in as well. We'll have to play well to win. Abbiati could come back in goal, I'll have to see about Mesbah but we have Zambrotta and Antonini and so we've no problems. I haven't yet decided but we could play with two strikers and a playmaker and I'll have to see about Ambrosini, he's had a fever, before I decide who plays on the right." "I was lucky to have put El Shaarawy on at the right moment. He's grown a lot technically and physically but he still has room for improvement. He should just think about playing and growing but with kids it's hard, they can explode in your hand and they shouldn't have too much responsibility on their shoulders. He's grown well in the last six months and I'm very happy. He could even start the game, but I might play with Robinho and Ibrahimovic instead. " "February is a month with a lot of important games. It'll be very intense and we'll ahve to be lucky with injuries. We'll have to keep our concentration levels high, which comes naturally here, and good physical conditions." "There are still a few days left before the end of the transfer window. Maxi Lopez is here and he's a very complete player. I'm a bit disappointed about Tevez, he's a real champions and he wanted to come here but what has happened has happened and that's fine." "In the end it's results that count and Juventus are getting great results. They haven't lost in 19 games, they're doing great things and together with us and Udinese who are only three points behind, they're favorites for the title.” "Boateng is recuperating and is being evaluated day by day but he's on the road to recover. Aquilani is doing very well and could be back before we've anticipated. After a week of nothing but rest, Pato will start his recovery either today or tomorrow. Flamini from next week will start to get back training with the team. For Merkel, he'll be out for at least a month. Cassano is continuing with his treatment and checkups to get the all clear to come back. Gattuso finished his treatment yesterday and will be back at the Milanello sports centre today. Yepes' ankle is getting much better. There's a good chance that he'll be back a little bit early, he might be back at the end of February or the start of March.” "We already have a squad of 30 players and that's a lot. But we're fine and there shouldn't be any more additions. The club knows that if we need a reinforcement we'll find one. We have a lot of injuries, but we're not crying about it because that's not the way we are. We'll have to wait for tomorrow's game because Emanuelson is doing well and can play in more than one position and as well, Ambrosini played a good game against Novara. " "I haven't seen Lopez yet and I don't know if he'll be training with us today or not. He has to do his medical." "Ahead of this tour de force, we're in good shape both physically and mentally, we've played some good games and we've got great results so far. The derby was the only game we lost and we didn't deserve to lose that match. We got straight back winning in the cup against Novara and we'll try and finish the month of January as best we can. We can still grow in terms of how we're playing and we will." Team Serie A Stats | AC Milan | Cagliari |

The Gunners host fellow English Premier League side Aston Villa in the 4th round of the English Football Association (FA) Cup. The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on Sunday, January 29, 2012. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 EST (USA Eastern), 16:00 GMT (UK time), and 17:00 CET (Central Europe). Arsenal v Aston Villa TV Listings The match will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel (USA), ESPN (UK), Sky Calcio (Italy), Rogers Sportsnet (Canada), Viasat (Sweden/Norway), Sport 1 (Israel/Russia/Germany), SportKlub (Croatia/Poland/Serbia/Slovenia), SuperSport (Africa), Canal 1+ (Spain), Digi Sport (Hungary/Romania), and Al Jazeera Sport (Middle East). Arsenal v Aston Villa Preview Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger "If you look at my record, you will see the FA Cup is important for me. If you look at the record of all the other teams, I think our record is better than all of them over the past 15 years. "Even last year we went for four trophies. How many teams go for four trophies this season? Nobody. "I think we always try to go for everything and for a long, long time last year we went for trophies late in the season. Still we will try to do the same and try to win the FA Cup [this year]." "I believe that for an English player, you have to start to play at 18 at the top level if you want to become an international player," he said. "They all played at 18 – Thierry, Ferdinand, Rooney, Gerrard. If you don’t make it at 18 you have one or two who come in later but the basis of the national team is players who have come in then." "Young players want to join us because they know they will get a chance at the top level. I believe that when Oxlade-Chamberlain was making his choices, he knew that he would have a chance here. "I think we have always shown we are willing to take out experienced players and put younger ones in when they deserve it. "[There were other clubs in for him] but we were consistent for a long time. It could have been a decisive factor. What people forget is that we spent a lot of money on him." Aston Villa manager Alex McCleish “Robbie and Thierry are different styles of player. “But I know one similarity and that is that they are superb footballers who love the game. “You can see in training that Robbie loves it and wants to be involved all the time. It’s infectious. “I think it’s the individual’s character. That’s a fundamental. “Robbie has made it clear he wants to play in this period.” “I had Gordon in this week for lunch and to observe training. He had Robbie at Coventry and he said Robbie’s movement was terrific. “Gordon said Robbie was making the same kind of movements now that he did when he was 20. “He said that he was trying to teach that movement to other strikers at Coventry like Darren Huckerby, who did well for him, but it was difficult for them to make the movement that Robbie did. “And Gordon said he used to ask Robbie ‘who taught you that kind of movement?’ and Robbie told him it was all done playing in the streets. “He was laying the ball off and spinning and that kind of stuff. It was all stuff he did as a boy playing street football. “It is a measure of how much he has made himself a very good footballer.” “His parent club is LA Galaxy and there is an agreement in place. “We said if Robbie could come and give everyone a boost, get a couple of goals, if he can make a significant difference in the other games, then that would be great. “Hopefully it inspires everyone else to give tremendous performances and leave us in a good position going into the tail-end of the campaign.” Team FA Cup Stats | Arsenal | Aston Villa |
