A.C. Milan Football Club and It's Great Achievement Information

A.C. Milan Team Profile and It's Crest color Style-

Try Victor Chandler or Allyoubet Milan are likely to hand a start to Robinho who will start in a supporting role for Alexandre Pato and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

AC Milan are showing interest in Manchester City utility man Pablo Zabaleta.
The 25-year-old Argentine, who can play right back and defensive midfield, was signed in 2008 by Mark Hughes for £6.45million from Espanyol.

He is well thought of at City but has struggled to cement a starting place and Milan are among a clutch of clubs ready to test City's resolve to keep him.
Milan believe City want around £8m for Zabaleta and that may yet be too costly - but City may be willing to deal as they continue to monitor Dani Alves at Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has vowed to sign Alessandro Del Piero from Juventus. The 35-year-old scored in a 2-1 win over Milan last week.

Club statistics and records-

Paolo Maldini presently holds both records for number of total and Serie A appearances for Milan with 1000 games played in total and 600 in Serie A (as of 14 May 2007, not including playoff matches), the latter being an all time Serie A record.

This unbeaten streak is a Serie ASteaua Bucureşti's record of 104 unbeaten games and Celtic's 68 game unbeaten run. season. In total, that unbeaten streak lasted 58 games, starting with a 0–0 draw with record and is the third longest unbeaten run in top flight European football. It comes in behind

Milan, along with Boca Juniors, has won the most FIFA recognized international club titles in the world.

Stadium-


San Siro stadium
The team's current stadium is the 80,018 seat San Siro, officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after the former player who represented both Milan and Internazionale. The name San Siro is taken from the district where it's located. San Siro has been the home of Milan since 1926, when it was privately built by the club. The stadium has been shared with Internazionale since 1946, when the other major Milanese club was accepted as joint tenant. The stadium is renowned for its fantastic atmosphere due to the closeness of the stands to the pitch. The frequent use of flares by supporters contributes to the atmosphere but the practice has occasionally caused problems.


On 19 December 2005, Milan vice-president and executive director Adriano Galliani announced that the club is seriously working towards a relocation. He said that Milan's new stadium will be largely based on the Veltins-Arena and will follow the standards of football stadiums in the United States, Germany and Spain. It will likely be a stadium for football purposes only (with no athletics track). The new stadium is supposed to be named after a sponsor. It remains to be seen if this plan will proceed or if this is just a ploy to force the owners (Comune di Milano) to sell the stadium to Milan for a nominal fee so as to proceed with extensive renovations. The possibility of Internazionale vacating San Siro may affect proceedings.

Supporters and rivalries-

Milan is one of the most supported football clubs in Italy, according to research conducted by Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Historically, Milan was supported by the city's working-class and trade unionists,Southern Italy. On the other hand, crosstown rivals Internazionalemiddle-class. One of the oldest ultras a section of whom were migrants from were mainly supported by the more prosperous and typically Milanese groups in all of Italian football, Fossa dei Leoni, originated in Milan. Currently, the main ultras group within the support base is Brigate Rossonere. Politically, Milan ultras have never had any particular preference, but the media traditionally associated them with the left-wing, until recently, when Berlusconi's presidency somewhat altered that view.

Genoa fans consider Milan a hated rival after Genoa fan, Vincenzo Spagnolo was tragically stabbed to death by a Milan supporter in January 1995. However, Milan's main rivalry is with neighbor club, Internazionale; both clubs meet in the widely anticipated Derby della Madonnina twice every Serie A season. The name of the derby refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose statue atop the Milan Cathedral is one of the city's main attractions. The match usually creates a lively atmosphere, with numerous (often humorous or offensive) banners unfolded before the start of the game. Flares are commonly present and contribute to the spectacle but they have occasionally led to problems, including the abandonment of the second leg of the 2004–05 Champions League quarterfinal match between Milan and Inter on 12 April 2005, after a flare thrown from the crowd by an Inter supporter struck Milan keeper Dida on the shoulder.

Honors-

Milan is one of the most successful clubs in Italy, having won a total of 29 trophies. Together with Boca Juniors, the club is the most successful in the world in terms of international competitions won, with a record of 14 European trophies and four World titles. Milan has earned the right to place a star on its club shirt in recognition of the fact that the club has won at least ten scudetti. In addition, the club is permanently allowed to display a multiple-winner badge on its shirt as it has won more than five European Cups.
