Marco Amelia, on the sidelines of the 12th edition of the Claudio Lippi Memorial, spoke to journalists’ microphones, taking stock of the situation regarding Milan. There are really many topics covered by the former goalkeeper, with whom the Diavolo’s moment was immediately analyzed: “As a fan, a season like this one cannot be considered enough. The roster is stronger than it has shown. We need to regain the winning spirit that has always characterized Milan.”
Confidence in Ibrahimovic – “He is working to convey this message, although it is not easy to explain it to those who have not lived through certain years. This year could serve as a base to rebuild. Milan has quality and showed it in the derbies as well. I am convinced that next year it will be a protagonist. It has all the cards to get back in the race, even if it seems far away now.”
Inevitably comes a statement on Paolo Maldini, whom fans would like to see back in the Rossoneri: “He is the history of Milan, there is little to say. As a manager he did very good things, although I don’t know what really happened between him and the club. Not being on the inside, I cannot judge. But my esteem for him is total, as a man, a footballer and a manager. Certainly figures like his are good for soccer. I am sure that no matter what happens, Paolo will remain the first Milan fan.”

Going beyond Maldini, it is there for all to see that Milan lacks that healthy Milanism, which over the years has made the difference: “The managers, particularly Ibrahimovic, are trying to bring back that winning mentality that made Milan great. Zlatan knows what we are talking about, because he has lived it and made it his own. Today young people, although talented, are often distracted by a thousand external stimuli and must learn to focus on Milan. You breathe the Rossoneri spirit as soon as you take the road to Milanello. There are and will be Italians who are up to the task of wearing this jersey. What is needed is enthusiasm, vision and a desire to rebuild. And also the ability to accept criticism: it’s part of the game.”
One last line about Donnarumma, who is ready to challenge Inter in the Champions League final: “I love Gigio and wish him the best. Then, in short, they say that you have to cheer for the Italians (smiles, ed.), but I played five years in Milan, so cheering Inter comes really hard for me! It will be easier to root for Donnarumma.”
