Silvio Berlusconi: "We will try to sign Guardiola. Pato is not for sale."
Silvio Berlusconi spoke to the press when he was at Milanello today. These are his declarations:
"Guardiola? There are some English clubs who want Guardiola, especially Manchester City because some of their directors know him well. We will try to sign Guardiola, but it's difficult."
"We have also spoken with Allegri about Guardiola. When you have this kind of possibility then everyone is working hard to reach it. We know that the English clubs want to sign Guardiola, but we will also be there. However, it is difficult to get him."
"A swap deal including Pato and Balotelli? I don't like making exchanges."
"We must guarantee Pato that here at Milan, he can find the maximum amount of respect, appreciation, affection and warmth. I feel sorry for Pato. He was our best jewel with the possibility of having a long career at Milan and to become a symbol of our club for many years. We hope that he can return to being a champion."
"Pato is a problem because all these injuries keep on leaving everyone speechless. I also think that he even asks himself if his physique is strong enough for this level."
"You can't criticize Pato's performances on the pitch because of the many goals and his playing style. But then he had a series of many, too many injuries. Now he has returned, but he need to recover completely, and regain his self-confidence.
He must not play intensively. He needs to be used slowly and gradually to get out of this moment because if he got a new injury then his morale would go completely under the ground."
"Nobody wants to sign a player who has had so many injuries. Pato hasn't proved that he has fully recovered and stabilized. But Pato is absolutely not for sale. He must stay here. The best treatment and care is also here."
"Now we have a champion with a strange name, but who is still Italian. El Shaarawy. He's a nice kid. A complete guy. He got his driver's license, and we want him to attend university.
His hair style? We will see about that. He stands out when he's on the pitch because of his hair style.
El Shaarawy is an injection of strength, youth and freshness", declared Silvio Berlusconi

am i missing something here? they are talking with allegri about his own replacement as coach and how to bring him to milan?
![]()
Yes, Allegri knows Pap is bigger then him.
If I was Max every night I would say to myself: "thank you god, or whatever/faith/life/destiny for letting me be ac Milan coach in my life. I shall 4 ever be gratefull 4 this coz only you know why I am still here."

he would fit at chelsea....at milan he'll be just another coach who has to work without funds
He would be great with milan. A better tactical approach and man management is exactly what we need. If he made messi and other youngsters jump to near prime level performance he would do exactly that here. Not to mention he isnt just great with youth, he'll know how to transition them to first team, something allegri isnt capable of. By restructuring youth we'll be set for years to come. He wouldnt work with chelsea because of how pressured hed feel to perform, he wouldnt implement what he had in the right amount of time while making adjustments to work. Look at allegri, as much as i hate him, around udine game he was extremely pressured so he made bad decisions (more so than usual) next game and the game after. Pep wouldnt thrive there.
Even with a budget of half of what he asked for, i seriously believe we'll be fighting for first or second.
he made messi great, there for he'll make boateng/nocerino great!

I actually don't see how anyone can criticize allegri's development. He'sdone well at grooming young players. Debateable how much talent he has.
Eitherway obviously if you can get Pep you do. He's in a class of his own
I never said he made messi great, messi already had that potential, different coaches unleash that potential. Although i wont give allegri all the credit, one of the reasons SES is doing so well is because of him. Just like messi. Boateng and noce dont have that potential, they are average players who got a serious boost from ibras amazing skill.
Hahahaha making SES and DS play great is "doing well grooming younger players"? If it wasnt for the fact he was FORCED to use DS and SES because no better options were in place they never would have been playing the way they are now. Its luck.

Which players do we have who he can make 'like messi' eh?

well galliani strongly disagrees with you. And so does the italian media. But hey, what do they know.
Exactly how many kids does Milan have who are READY for first team? You think we're sitting on a goldmine?
it took barca nearly 20 years to get their thing flowing, and lets not forget.... over those 20 years, they've produced....how many? It's not tHAT heavy so to think 2 breaking into first team is a big achievement.

You dont understand my perspective. No one this generation will even come close to messi. Coaches have the ability to bring out the best of specific players, like pep with messi and arguable allegri with SES. But peps first instinct is youth inclusion, allegri first instinct is youth inclusion in desperate, very desperate times.
I think by years end niang would be ready for first team, strasser should be given a chance against shit teams like when we played torino, thats just my personal opinion however.
Hahaha youre using gallini and the italian media to back you up? How credible is gallini? How credible are the bullshit rumors made by the italian media. If youre gonna use someone to refute what i said, atleast let them be credible.
