THE POINT OF THE DIRECTOR
Open letter to the President of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi

Dear President
forgive me but I'll call it so, because for those who have lived the last 23 years history of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi will always be "President" as Franco Baresi "Captain," whatever happens, and for eternity. I am writing in the aftermath humiliating defeat against Zurich, the lowest point in recent history Rossoneri perhaps reminiscent of many other bloody games such as Bordeaux-Milan, Milan-Roseborg, Galatasaray-Milan etc: I do not do to encourage her to " pull out the money "like many people, journalists, critics and especially supporters do. From the first moment I married his desire to contain costs at a delicate moment for the world economy, but also for football: I understood, digested, and even justified the sale of Kaka and the criticism (and insults, in some cases) are over for her reflex to me by hundreds of readers and viewers. I had (and keep) confidence in Ronaldinho, designated as the shaper of the new AC Milan, because my idea of football is always very close to her: I like the class, the joy, the beautiful game, victories, and the Gaucho well embodies all these aspects. Get to the point, without too many turns of phrase tedianti today, while all are calling for a full back, a midfielder, a striker, a coach, I'd just get back ... A president, or rather "the President" with the definite article and a capital letter. I grew up listening to his speech on the evening of the feast of the Scudetto in 1988: Do not forget the touching letter to his father the day after the first success in Tokyo, I think I have read and reread it a thousand times, and he savored a different shade, a thrill , a new emotion. Well, these are the things that I'm an orphan today, affection, passion, unconditional love and protection that you have always known how to give the Rossoneri the people: she loved Borghi (by the way, you know, President ... Today it has become a great coach, in South America), but bought Rijkaard to win ... She chose Gullit and Van Basten watching them on video, Donadoni pulled a Juventus hegemony of the market, gave Lentini and without too many problems because Papin proud of their choices: do not expect me to live on Mars, I know that in an earthquake and a war today has something more important to administer and that is why I considered the choice of self an act of love, a guarantee of eternal life at Milan, whatever the fate of the world economy or its businesses. Still burns me, I can not resign, I'm not satisfied with some sporadic interventions and rarely adhering fully to the reality: unfortunately fate too cruel, perhaps, wanted to deny it quickly on equality of organs between Milan and Inter ... Be it a sign? The "well informed", the ones that we were not ever mean to us, saying that he decided to sell, that of Milan "do not give anything": You explain it, Mr President, that those who saw Milan for Puricelli, of Tosolini , of Carapellese may not bored of the blue. Football, however, goes on, and I am surprised that she has been an innovator in all areas in which he has experimented with (and always with success), you have not noticed today without the stadium property, without scouting world, without youth without equal membership of non-EU, without a unified taxation at European level, without use of the brand in East Asia, it is not going anywhere, and our dear, old Milan, is likely to miss the train. Not a mere matter of money then, but projects, ideas, dreams, everything in which she, as president of AC Milan, has always been a teacher since day one. We need you President, you know who this feeling in a polite exterior, as I'm trying to do with it, and also who he pretends to forget who the most successful president in the history of the modern game: there is Sheikh, Colonel, Russian or Florentino taking. "You'll see, next Sunday we'll make" whispered her father while she was crying in tears for the defeats of the little Milan: today the Milan want to hear the same words to her with a broken heart thuds from the last, but my mind already committed to think about how to fix it. Difficult to read my appeal, but not despair in Providence will conclude with some important words. "Tomorrow will dream of other goals, create new challenges, search for other victories. Serving to realize what good, strong and true in us, all of us in this adventure that we had to weave our lives in a dream Milan called "You, President, should know the author.
Sincerely,
Francesco Letizia
