Michele Criscitiello, director of Sportitalia, expressed himself this way in his editorial for the broadcaster’s website about the idea of Adriano Galliani returning to Milan:
“On Wednesday, Adriano Galliani will blow out 81 candles. Someone might say ‘make way for the young’ (true), but in certain roles and in certain times, experience is needed, not age. We want the young on the field and on the bench. Also in the club, but Furlani is more than enough. Milan needs power, balance, experience, passion for football and for the club. Moreover, it must be considered that, in a hypothetical case, Galliani would go to replace Scaroni as President of Milan and not a thirty-year-old fresh graduate. If you replace Scaroni with Galliani, it means that Milan goes back to thinking like a big club."
The journalist continued to talk about Galliani:
"He is needed. The 'Condor' is useful for maintaining relationships with politics, with the Lega Calcio, and with the FIGC; where Milan at this moment commands less than Sassuolo. If Marotta represents Inter, Milan needs Galliani... He is an 81-year-old with the strength of a 60-year-old. He never stops, travels the world, and for politics, he now frequents Rome more than Milan. With his old love, things could change. Galliani, now, not tomorrow, must give back to Milan what Milan gave him in the past. In the darkest period of the club’s recent years.”
