Transfer market, the official opening: Galliani recalls Berlusconi, “he was unique”

The inaugural event of the 2023 transfer market was hosted in Rimini, by the Grand Hotel where the “Colpi da Maestro” talk show was staged. The event was opened by the memory of Silvio Berlusconi, with the CEO of Monza, Adriano Galliani, who recalled his deceased friend: “It’s not easy for me to talk about Berlusconi – he began moved – because he is a person with whom I worked for 43 years. When I met him I was already a manager of Monza and the only condition I put in order to work for him was to continue following Monza, at home or away. with the purchase of Milan, an era that lasted 31 years in which we won everything thanks also to the presence of Arrigo Sacchi (at his side) and to the game of that fantastic team that made Berlusconi’s mission come true, that is to win successes and trophies expressing beautiful football. Without his vision, without his utopia it would have been impossible to win everything we have won. And then Monza, bought to get to Serie A for the first time in its history: Berlusconi saw last year’s promotion year and the salvation of this season. The day before his death, June 11, I was in Istanbul and at 5 pm he called me to talk about football. The happiness that sport gives you can’t be given by anything else. I saw his happiest eyes in 43 years together in 1989 after the 4-0 win against Steaua Bucharest.”
