MILAN – Club president Silvio Berlusconi has posted a video-message on his facebook page. This is what the Milan number 1 had to say:

“Like all of you, I have Milan in my heart and I suffer when things go badly. Perhaps I suffer a little bit more, seeing as I have invested over €1 billion euros to make the club great. Just last year, it was €152m. And yet you’ll agree with me that we’ve never seen Milan play as badly as this year. I found the courage to change in order to reach the final of the TIM Cup against Juventus with a little more hope. In fact, it appears to me that we have seen some improvements in the quality of football. We had Cristian Brocchi available, an excellent coach from our U19 team. I asked him to show bravery and he said yes. He is a professional person who knows the Milan style well, right from when he played for our youngest of the youth sector teams. He hasn’t had much time to work with the players and try new formations. We were also unlucky in recent games, such as in Verona, where we lost to a penalty and a free kick that should never have even been awarded. So, let’s allow Brocchi to work in peace until May 21, then we’ll decide what to do. Let me add: after 30 years of celebrating with champagne and caviar, we could show a little more elegance when dealing with a dry spell that is only temporary. Finally, to those who tell me I must sell, I say this: I’ve been trying for a year, but I would like to leave Milan in good hands and to who can guarantee a future as a leading team. Preferably in Italian hands.”
