Sulley Muntari has dubbed AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati "the Uncle".
The 37 year-old has played a big part in Milan's revival this season.
Muntari smiled: "'The Uncle' is a symbol to me and he helps me both on and off the pitch. He doesn't talk much, but he's got a great attitude.
"There aren't many men like him. When I speak to him, he really gives me great energy.
"And the same applies to Coach Pippo Inzaghi who is helping us a lot and we're doing really well also thanks to him."
