San Siro, Salvini to the Gazzetta: “Facial clarity”

“The city deserves a stadium that will bring 1.2 billion in investments. Sala and its junta resemble a cross between Calloni and Pancev, when Ronaldo or Ibra would be needed.”

Matteo Salvini, federal secretary of the League and Senator of the Republic, wrote to the Gazzetta about the project for the new stadium for Milan and Inter and the fate of the current San Siro stadium. Here is his letter.

Milan deserves the new stadium that will bring 1.2 billion in investments (capable of changing the face of the western part of the city), but if the prospect is that of a grueling tug-of-war between the clubs and the mayor Beppe Sala who pronounces only Nì, better run to Sesto San Giovanni where the administration has already given the green light and identified an ad hoc area (that of the former Falck) connected to the Duomo in just 15 minutes by metro. For Milan it would be a painful mockery. He would lose Milan and Inter and would end up with the Scala del Calcio without football but starving for millions every year for ordinary maintenance only (in addition to the non-collection of the rent, for an overall drain that would rise above 10 million).

The bad film of Rome

Sala says he has other things to think about besides the stadium, but in the triple role of political leader, fan and Milanese I remember that the city has established itself thanks to the culture of doing: City Life, Porta Nuova, Garibaldi-Repubblica are winning examples that they have bent the ideological No’s of a certain left. Milan and Inter have foreign properties interested in investing in Italy: they rightly demand clarity and certain times in order not to see the same bad film that aired for the Roma stadium.

From Calloni to Ibra

Milan is an international city, ambitious, courageous and modern: you can confirm that you are also in Palazzo Marino. A new stadium, with the reconstruction of the San Siro area and avoiding the total cancellation of the Meazza, is an opportunity to be seized. Milan is in a hurry and its great teams too. Juventus, in Italy, confirmed how decisive a proprietary stadium is to improve revenues and therefore sports results. Abroad it is widely believed that in our country it is difficult to invest and impossible to realize. Milan cannot confirm this trend. These days we are witnessing a sort of grand final on the future of the city and its football: it would be in everyone’s interest to win this match, time is running out but the mayor attacks Milan and Inter. Beppe Sala and his council dangerously resemble a cross between Egidio Calloni and Darko Pancev, when Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic would be needed.
