Without Balotelli (who cannot play in the Champions League), with El Shaarawy (he has recovered) and in the midst of the electoral campaign, which is inevitably leading President Berlusconi to expose himself also on football issues, with the usual intrusiveness that creates many embarrassments for his coaches. Thus Milan is approaching tomorrow's match against Barcelona: a remake of the Champions League quarter-finals of 11 months ago, when the Rossoneri capitulated, but emerged unscathed from the first leg (again played at San Siro).
The formation with the recovery of the young blue of Egyptian origin is practically done, but more than by Allegri by the president himself, number one of the club and once again candidate in the political elections, which will be held just 4 days after the big match against Messi and companions. "My suggestions are that some top man, like Messi, should be treated like a man," said Berlusconi, naming Flamini with Muntari's help. A sort of cage model Nero Rocco. “Rocco was great, he introduced the Italian game and aimed to score goals only with sporadic attacks on the counterattack. We then changed football, Sacchi and I created a Milan that is always master of the field and the game and the team with the three Dutch players that many judge as the best in football history. Then came Barcelona and I think these two teams are unique examples in the history of football."
On the attack, the president confirmed his passion for the two strikers. “Pazzini and El Shaarawy are a guarantee. And we also have Robinho who I judge very positively – adds Berlusconi -. Even the coach knows about the two strikers and agrees. It's in the midfield and the defense that I suggest, faced with a game like Barcelona's much-discussed one, to anticipate some passes with a man from the defense who stands side by side with the attacker. I was a coach for a few years, I won all the championships in which my boys' teams were and therefore I brought some experience. Among other things, when I had the opportunity to meet him at Milan, I always defeated him with clean results”. And therefore, a prediction: "I see it hard but miracles can happen".
