Andrey Arshavin: I specifically wanted to be drawn against Milan in the Champions league

Arsenal Russian midfielder Andrey Arshavin admitted he was happy with the outcome of the Champions League play-off draw, which pitted the London club against AC Milan.

«I don’t know why, but I specifically wanted Milan. To be honest, I haven’t seen them play for a while and don’t know all of their players. But I am aware that they have a very strong attack: Pato, Robinho, Ibrahimovic. We have to be focussed, because Italian teams play tactical football. They tend to pressurise you in the middle of the park and don’t let you play,» the Russia captain told the club’s official website.
