Adriano Galliani, the general manager of Monza, who was recently promoted to Serie A, and the "right hand" of Silvio Berlusconi, president of the Italian club, assured that "the goal in the first year is salvation".
Berlusconi and Galliani, who as owner and CEO respectively were the two architects of "Greater Milan" who "reigned" in Italy and Europe in the 1980s and 1990s, are back together in Monza.
For the first time in its 110-year history, the city of Monza will have its team in the top division of Italian football.
"Our goal in the first year is salvation. Now we are fighting against time to reopen the east stand of the stadium, with which the capacity will exceed 10,000 seats. It is a very complicated job, at the moment there are difficulties ", said Adriano Galliani to Radio anch'io Sport, of Rai Radio 1.
"If we stay in Serie A, a renovated stadium is planned for next year, based on the model of the 'Dacia Arena' in Udine," he revealed. Monza - with technical director François Modesto - will make their top-flight debut with Torino, but Berlusconi and Galliani have their eyes set on the match against AC Milan, a team they led for 31 years (1986-2017). a fight that "will be special".
"Thirty-one years have carved the" rossoneri "colors in the heart of President Berlusconi and in mine. "I have already told Paolo Maldini that I hope to have my usual place on the pitch and not have to go to the visitors," he said.
In addition, Galliani commented on the current situation in Serie A and the dominance of the Premier League: "The league has changed, today in Europe there are those who charge 3-4 times more, like the Premier League".
"Wealth has moved to the US and Asia, where the abundance of raw materials allows for almost unlimited resources. I think it is very difficult for Serie A players to win the Golden Ball in the future. "The stars are attracted by salaries we can no longer afford," Galliani added.
