Franco Baresi granted an interview to Corriere dello Sport after winning the award of 'Ambrogino d’oro', a prestigious awards given to individuals for their work as a recognition and a token of thanks by the municipality of Milan.
Here are the legendary captain's words, who is also the honorary vice-president:
"I knew, reading the newspapers, that among the many names proposed, mine had also appeared. But from there, thinking that I would end up in the official list... I was surprised, happily surprised."
Franco Baresi added:
"I am proud to be able to receive this coveted award from the city. For me, it is a great honour. Milan is everything to me. I wasn't born there, but it has adopted me since I was 14."
