Michele Criscitiello, journalist and director of SportItalia, also spoke about Milan in his morning editorial for the TV website in light of Gerry Cardinale's recent statements, managing partner of the RedBird fund and owner of the Rossoneri club.
"Cardinale has decided and speaks to send messages without announcing anything. He was very clear in what he said, perhaps even in what he didn't say. Translation of Cardinale's words by me and if I make any mistakes, it's the result of my reconstruction and imagination and not Cardinale's thoughts,"
Five key points:
1 - AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani
"Furlani has disappointed me and doesn't have the strength to represent me in Milan. At the end of the year, I'll either kick him out or downgrade him."
2 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic:
"Ibrahimovic is the new Maldini, but I like him as a person. He's not just an image but Ibra represents the ownership and will have decision-making power on choosing the new coach. Ibra wants Conte but he needs to build the technical and economic conditions for it."
3 - New stadium
"I'll build the stadium as I say and where I want. Sala talks but doesn't act, and I don't want the stadium with Inter."
4 - Shareholders in Milan:
"I'd like to have some shareholders but only minority ones. The game is in my hands, and I'm having fun. But if I bring in some useful capital without exceeding 40% of shares, it wouldn't be bad."
Ambitions:
"Finally, next year I want to try to win the Scudetto, not to finish 30 points behind Inter."
"Phrases and thoughts resulting from my imagination and translation of Cardinale's words. Meanwhile, Milan won a game in Rome against Lazio, it was a match that was ugly, crazy, and pointless. The championship has already been decided, and what remains is not of interest to Stefano Pioli. Cardinale is right to plan, and the pope's robe handed to Ibra has its value, but the coach must be chosen this month without waiting for May. Programming," Criscitiello concluded.
