"Milan's" vice president Adriano Galliani is convinced that Riccardo Montolivo has replaced Andrea Pirlo who left the team for Turin's "Juventus".

The 28-year-old midfielder arrived at Milan this summer from the team "Fiorentina". This season R. Montolivo plays an important role in the ranks of "Rossoneri".

"Montolivo is currently probably showing the best sports form of his entire career. In our team, he is like a new Pirlo," - said A. Galliani.

Yesterday, "Milan" won at home with a minimal margin against "Parma" and climbed to fourth place in the Italian "Serie A" championship.
