At the presentation of the book “Milanello – La Casa del Diavolo” there was also Calabria: “In the Rossoneri you have to be men, before being players”
A piece of Milan from the past: Adriano Galliani, Ariedo Braida, Umberto Gandini, the former social doctor Rudy Tavana, Luca Antonini. And an important part of today’s AC Milan: the sports director Ricky Massara, the coach Stefano Pioli and the vice captain Davide Calabria. There were many illustrious guests at the Sheraton Milan San Siro, at the presentation of “Milanello – La Casa del Diavolo”, the 240-page book published by Cairo and in the bookstore since yesterday, written by Peppe Di Stefano, Sky journalist, in the context of the Arena series directed by Gianluca Di Marzio.
Ancelotti
–
Speaking of truly illustrious interventions, Carlo Ancelotti was also on video link from Madrid, who is continuing a super career with Real that he has already given him so much satisfaction also in the Rossoneri, as a player and as a coach. It was Galliani, on stage, who “interviewed him”: “If you came to Milan as a footballer it is thanks to Arrigo Sacchi who literally massacred us – the words of the former CEO -. It seemed impossible to make it. Doctor Monti checked the knee of Ancelotti and advised us not to take it, I did not tell Berlusconi and so Carlo arrived “. Ancelotti’s answer is full of sweet memories: “Milanello was the second home for thirteen years, or perhaps the first because I spent more time there than anywhere. I have memories as a player with my room and then as a coach number 5, that of the coaches, starting with Rocco. Milanello is an important milestone in Milan’s successes. Staying there meant joining the family. When you ate at Milanello it was like eating at home, and sleeping anyway. Most of the victories were built in those eves to keep the small hours, to ease the pressure of important matches. He was an important part of the great Milan. ” Finally a message to Pioli: “To bring out the best, and something more. I wish Milan the best of successes”.
Pioli and the sense of belonging
–
Galliani also addressed his personal wishes to Pioli: “I would like him to become the fifth Rossoneri coach to win the Champions League, I wish him too to make the history of the coaches that made Milanello the most successful sports center in the world”. Pioli, for his part, could only confirm what the other guests said about the magic of the Carnago technical center: “I find myself very much in Ancelotti’s words about Milanello. There are three good things: a sense of belonging, seriousness and professionalism of the people. , with that pleasant impression of being at home. I immediately felt at ease. Room 5, however, is now much smaller … “.
Weah and Massara
–
Galliani then revealed an anecdote: “The coaches all settled at 5, except Seedorf. He wanted the 42 which was that of the president, he said he had his permission but it wasn’t true …”. A message from a Rossoneri legend like George Weah, now president of his Liberia, also arrived on the phone: “Milanello was my life”. Then he spoke to Massara: “Milanello is a magical place and I feel a great responsibility, with those photos of champions and victories hanging on the walls. For me it is a great privilege”.
Calabria
–
It is the same for Davide Calabria, who spoke on stage and also in an interview with Sky: “You live in a magical place, it has charm and atmosphere, but you feel at home. With Galliani I signed my first professional contract and I still have the pen that was given to me “. At Milanello, for some years now, AC Milan players have often met Paolo Maldini: “He is one of the strongest defenders in history. I grew up with him, as a child I played with his son at Vismara and now working with him is a great emotion. What we say. to the newcomers to make the importance of this sports center understood? each of us is being able to be on those paintings on the walls and be there forever, that would be fantastic. We are doing our best. ” Finally, a joke about the legend of the ghost that would roam Milanello: “I’ve never seen him, I didn’t know anything about him (laughs, ed)”.
