Galliani on Berlusconi, between "communists" and anecdotes about Milan: "He always called me at midnight..."

Adriano Galliani is certainly one of the people who knew Silvio Berlusconi in depth and on the occasion of the second anniversary of his death, he decides to reveal some anecdotes related to football. "If I have to point out one thing I miss about Silvio Berlusconi - Galliani tells Il Corriere della Sera - it is his phone calls that arrived punctually every evening at midnight . We talked about Milan but not only. All decisions were shared. I never heard him say "it's done this way because I want it". Then, of course, we could discuss for hours about buying Rijkaard or Borghi . He listened to everyone but the big decisions were up to him ".

Then Galliani reveals: " When he asked me for an opinion on whether or not to buy Milan, I advised against it because of the amount of money he would have spent. I was one of the owners of Monza and I knew it well. Our first meeting? In 1979. He immediately asked me about my political orientation . I replied that when I was little, my father told me that communists eat children and that since then my ideas had not changed. It was an immediate feeling".

"I spoke with Marina - concludes Galliani - and she understood: instead of participating in the memorial mass that will be held today in Arcore, which will be followed by a lunch among the people who loved Silvio, I will remember the president in Madrid . I am convinced that he too would have been happy with my choice. I was invited by the Real Madrid University School, by Florentino Perez , to be the godfather to 1,500 students who are completing their studies. My motivational speech will focus on Berlusconi ".
