Pizzul: “San Siro must stay there. With Moratti and Berlusconi it would not have happened “

One of the greatest and most famous Italian journalists, Bruno Pizzul, has exposed himself on a very topical subject: the destiny of San Siro. These are his statements by the journalist at Tuttosport: "Losing San Siro would hurt me … When I started doing this job, thanks to Rai, San Siro was already the football stadium, it was becoming for many La Scala where great champions performed ".

"Unforgettable that day, for anyone doing this job. The premiere of a World Cup, in a stadium built for the big football, full, colorful, full of healthy support. A great party in a stadium that everyone still envies us today. there are few plants left and those who come to Milan also come to visit the stadium, they cannot do without it ".

"I would do anything to make him stay there. We are talking about a monument, a stadium born for football where the game is very well seen. I am not nostalgic for a football that is no longer there but I am surprised to hear about functional stadiums , built for families, for aggregation. It is a way to increase revenue. Because there is no need for a shopping center to create aggregation, there is the game. Perhaps we should increase the show in the field. .. ".

"The fact that there is a strong movement that is against demolition makes me hope. There is fear of a new pouring of cement on the city, of losing the greenery and maybe even the area of the Hippodrome that is always put into I think that those who live in Milan, who live the city every day have more than a doubt about this project …

"If we want to play with the sacred and the profane, yes, of course. After all even in football there has always been something mystical, a certain sacredness that must be respected. Who would throw down one of the symbols of Milan?

"It could be, it would be a good idea but I don't think Rome would agree to give up its centrality. However, you could think of building the stadium as already mentioned in another area, to be redeveloped leaving the history intact."

"Of course the two properties of today do not help. Missing flag players like missing flag presidents. Lack the passion, there is a certain disaffection with certain values, with memories. I believe that with Massimo Moratti and Silvio Berlusconi it would not have happened. The existence of the San Siro would never have been questioned. I think they would have had good sense and looked for other solutions because the identity, the history of a city and of two teams that represent the world are at stake … "
