Still a lot of enthusiasm in the house Milan after the conquest of 19th championship. Difficult and fierce battle until the end that saw the Rossoneri triumph with merit. Celebrations started at the Reggio Emilia stadium and continued up to Casa Milan, to conclude with the usual parade on bus through the streets of the Milanese city.
Speaking of the AC Milan triumph is his number one, the president Paolo Scaroniwho gave an interview to Corriere della Sera. Here are his words.
ON THE FUNDS – “Do the funds have a heart? Surely they have a sporting heart! It was an experience, I would say excited, for them, Gordon was more used to it, Paul had never seen AC Milan. They arrived from Florida with great confidence, they were very optimistic about win the Scudetto, we Italians were more superstitious … I kept saying that I wanted to finish fourth, as I said all year, even on Sunday that it was no longer possible …“.
ABOUT PROFESSIONALS – “I would say that today’s AC Milan has its own style and its style is characterized by having professionals in every position. Elliott is a world champion of investments: he has never made us lack financial support (Milan is not in debt), he set spending limits, never wanting to decide how we should invest. Gazidis is a managing director who toured the world of football after graduating in law from Oxford. Paolo Maldini was a great professional all his life. And then Stefano Pioli, Very good. A world of professionalism, each with its own role and freedom of action, respecting those of the others. This is a managerial model that works in all companies: it had to be carried over to football “.
ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – “Sustainability? True. This year we will close it with ordinary management that generates cash, so to speak. I have not seen the slightest hesitation on Donnarumma and Calhanoglu. Sustainability is a route from which we do not compromise, and that is what made me say that I wanted to finish fourth, the minimum to keep it “.
ON THE STADIUM AND THE TRANSFER – “I keep both options open, San Siro and Sesto San Giovanni. Then there is the variable that concerns the properties: Elliott has embarked on a path in which he is probing sales opportunities, which in any case will take some time, at least three months. Then the new owner, RedBird or who it will be, will decide. Anyone who buys Milan buys a jewel, a car that works well, with a formidable audience. Then if the buyer adds his skills, and RedBird has some, so be it “.
ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – “The sale of TV rights is fundamental in our balance sheet. In the world, Italy is losing ground: the Premier collects 2.1 billion a year, La Liga 897 million. Serie A takes 139 billion from Infront for Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, and 57 from CBS for the US: a total of 196 million. Football is a sport, but also a show, to enter the entertainment market I have to equip myself so that the world can watch my games “.
ON REFORMS TO KEEP THE BEST – “All the components must contribute to improving the show. The stadiums: they must be full, modern, well lit, like in the Premier League. The championship must be as exciting as possible, therefore with 18 or 16 teams. be designed for Shanghai or New York. And the matches have to be less boring. Only to me does the Champions League seem like another football? It is an existential question for us because money is the fuel of football, but it is not just a problem of money. So we can’t keep our best players. They will always want to go to the Premier League. “
