Berlusconi Jr warns AC Milan fans: Transition year

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 10:31

AC Milan chief Pier Silvio Berlusconi insists the club's new transfer policy is the right road to take.

The son of Italy PM Silvio Berlusconi, Pier Silvio said: "I always speak as a fan. I cannot say so, absolutely, whether it was right to sell Kaka. But if investments are made on young people, then the thinking is right.

"Clearly, I'm sorry to lose Kakà, but this is our line and this is the year of a turning point.

"We will launch with young people: Beretta, Zigoni ... at this point these signings will not make the difference. After years of success, it is a team effort to maintain these plans and it will take patience, it will be a year of upheaval."

Berlusconi Jr also admitted he wasn't counting on a big season ahead for Ronaldinho.

"I confirm: I did not want Ronaldinho, just as I had not shared in the return of Andriy Shevchenko."

And on rumours the Berlusconis will sell Milan, Pier Silvio insisted: "In more than twenty years I have never seen my father ever lose any passion for Milan. Neither myself nor my sister Marina, we have never interfered in the affairs of Milan.

"For love I would be tempted to become a manager, you never say never, but it is good to do one thing at a time."

Berlusconi Jr. is an absolute IDIOT. He does not know football. People need to stop thinking that Ronalinho is rubbish. He completely dominated the world for three years...he was head and shoulders above everyone else. Even Messi stated last season that he still thought Ronaldinho was the best in the world. Back to Back world player of the year awards. Kaka didn't do that, CR7 wont do it as Messi will win it for '09. He has not lost his amazing skills, he has just just lost his motivation. I mean the guy has won everything! What do you do after you have won it all from team titles (club and country) to individual accolades. He did not play badly last season, and he was coming off an injury. I think Ancelotti screwed him over and I think being on the bench has rekindled his motivation, also because he wants to get back to the selecao. Watch out for Ronnie next season as i'm sure he will light up the world again. Maradonna even said Barca was crazy to sell him because and I quote " Ronaldinho is above us all". Hands down Ronnie is probably the most skillful player to have ever played the game. No one has ever pulled off the street ball skills that he does in league games. Ronnie will prove all the doubters wrong in '09-'10 ending it by helping Brazil win its 6th world cup.
