Crespo saying, “I suffered quite a lot when I left Milan, I still had the desire to stay and achieve a lot seeing how things went in the Champions League final. Mr. Galliani is always very kind and the affection and mutual respect with Galliani and the other Milan managers is still there. That match against Lazio was fantastic (February 2005 Milan-Lazio 2-1, editor’s note). We were losing 1-0 and then Sheva scored a great goal and then in the last minute Kakà struck the post and I met the rebound and scored. Even Alessandro Nesta celebrated, who is a former favourite, it was a big match in the league. The big matches are always special, they are the ones that make you really proud of your career. The Olimpico, just like the San Siro, is a fantastic stadium. In these matches a player has responsibilities and obligations, but playing in these matches a player has the joy of being a part of a great moment. Just speaking about it I get goose-bumps.”
