Inter director, Alessandro Antonello, spoke to the media today, like Paolo Scaroni, about the new stadium project. Here are his words:
"The public debate? Another important aspect that I would like to put on the plate is that Milan and Inter are part of the history of this city and have always been part of the active part of this city. Consequently, the intention is that the clubs continue to invest in Milan and for Milan. For Milan is meant not only for the fans but also for the citizens."
He added:
"The investment will be around 1 billion and 300 million euros, and will guarantee thousands of jobs. The objectives are clearly sporting because the stadium is now an essential element to improve. But beyond that, there are environmental, social and sustainable objectives. Sustainability is key in projects like these. These values are incorporated in our project that we are going to propose. On the other hand, today the fans ask us for a ' different experience than the one we lived years ago. Today they ask us for an immersive experience compared to simply watching the game. The fact that there are extra services allows us to get closer to European standards. The area will be accessible and open, respecting the highest quality standards. There will be water sustainability, circulation of the roads. So this is a project that will try to give the city a new area of social aggregation. The clubs want to renew this sense of belonging to the city, with an innovative and attractive project. The clubs want to renew this sense of belonging to the city, with an innovative and attractive project."
Alessandro Antonello on abandoning the Giuseppe Meazza facility...
"Both clubs have had numerous successes on the San Siro pitch. The fact that we are still here in Milan must act as a union between the glorious past and the future that the clubs want to experience and pass on to the new generations. Then the memory can be interpreted on an architectural level. There will be ideas that we will listen to and that we would like to make ours with architects who will help us. You will no longer see the old San Siro for a necessary reason, to respect the reduction in volumes. Then on memory we can indulge ourselves with many ideas. It is part of our DNA because the clubs have an important bond with San Siro and with the city."
