CorSport: ‘A dig at Inter’ – Cardinale’s words not appreciated as response arrives | OneFootball

The media in Italy this morning have naturally picked up on the comments that emerged yesterday from several key figures at AC Milan.

As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) report, on December 11 the Harvard Business School released a document containing a very interesting case study on Milan, in which the most influential and important people at the club gave a few words.

The CEO Giorgio Furlani – who graduated from the same institute in 2007 – was interviewed, as well as the technical director Geoffrey Moncada, the president Paolo Scaroni and also the Senior Advisor to RedBird Capital Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Obviously, the contribution of Milan owner Gerry Cardinale could not be missed, whose statements were those that inevitably made the most noise, also because of the delicate moment the team is going through.

The interviews for this case study were conducted at the end of last season, but chronological distance matters little when there are words of this kind. Cardinale took a swipe at Inter’s old owners, stating: “They won the Scudetto last year and then went bankrupt: is this really what we want?!”

It is a dig that was not appreciated by the upper echelons of Inter, from which a clear counter-response emerges: the Nerazzurri have never gone bankrupt, but are constantly and significantly improving their accounts aiming for a balanced budget.

Cardinale’s idea of ​​Milan and the Milan project could not coexist with that of Paolo Maldini, at least this is what Furlani implied: “It was a historic decision to let him go, for what he meant to the club and for his authority. But if we wanted to realise Cardinale’s vision for the club, we had to change and move forward.”

director Rossoneri manager also spoke about another farewell that did not go down well with the Rossoneri fans, that of Sandro Tonali: “Selling a player for 70 million euros is a great deal, but then, between purchases, sales and resales, everything depends on how we structure the contracts.”
