Berlusconi’s personal doctor towards the yes to the role of No. 1 in society. Decisive weeks for the handover from Preziosi to “777”
Genoa – A question of faith. And also of feeling. Adriano Galliani has been in football for a lifetime, now he devotes himself to politics as a senator but football remains a priority. And when he learned that Alberto Zangrillo is preparing to become president of Genoa he was not surprised. “The professor is a friend, I love him and I feel deep gratitude for him: he treated me when I was in intensive care for Covid at San Raffaele and I can say that he saved my life. For friendship, esteem and his proven rossoblù faith I believe that there can be no better person to succeed another great friend of mine like Enrico Preziosi ».
The before and after. Preziosi and Zangrillo were spotted together a month ago, in the stands at the Ferraris. To see it with the eyes of now, almost a handover. The negotiation for the passage of the club with 777 Partners is now concluded, the closing will in any case arrive by November 15 and Zangrillo, alongside Blasquez last Sunday at the stadium, is destined to take on the position of president. A representative figure, a Genoese and a Genoan with a clear reputation, well known in Italy and abroad for his work as a doctor, Head of the Anesthesia and General and Cardio-Thoraco-Vascular Resuscitation Unit at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan . Known not only for over 800 publications in the scientific field but also and above all because he is Silvio Berlusconi’s trusted doctor. Galliani confirms, it is a matter of faith: «I have known Zangrillo for 20 years and no, we haven’t even tried to make him a Milanista, faith doesn’t change, in fact I returned to Monza after 40 years. As my mother took me to see Monza as a child, his father took him to see Genoa. If, as I have read, the American property is looking for a high-level profile that represents the genoanity, he is ideal. In case I will definitely come to see Genoa at the Ferraris with great pleasure, I love Liguria, in particular the Levante ».
Zangrillo and the Grifone, from Genoa since childhood. He has a strong and frank relationship with Preziosi. He was among the first to advise him to sell the club five years ago. «He is the president who in my life as a Genoa player has kept me for 10 years in a row in Serie A and no one else has succeeded before him. But the latest events must make him reflect: a real revolution is taking place in football. I challenge anyone who, even just a few years ago, hypothesized Milan and Inter in the hands of the Chinese. But it is an inevitable process of change, it is impossible to go back. Even Berlusconi, who also won everything there was to win, left the scene. All the more reason Preziosi should rightly stop on what, in this context, could be the future of Genoa “, he said in 2016. Just in that year he had witnessed the birth of Leonardo, grandson of the patron, son of Paola and Miguel Veloso , which came to light at the San Raffaele hospital. From Preziosi to Zangrillo, the presidency of the Griffin is at stake. The CEO Zarbano and Blasquez himself, who met him in Milan, supported Zangrillo’s candidacy. A former president of the Grifone like Aldo Spinelli gives his blessing: “He is a prestigious name, a true Genoan, I really hope he can become president”.
