AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale was very happy with what he saw from the team during their 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at San Siro on Tuesday night.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes that Milan will leave for Lecce tomorrow, where on Saturday they will look for points to recover ground in the Scudetto race, while Gerry Cardinale will get on a plane headed to the United States.
Cardinale knows that this is a young Milan team, profoundly renewed since the summer window in which 10 signings arrived, but full of potential and with a coach who keeps it in his grip after a difficult moment.
The first victory in the current edition of the Champions League, which came against Kylian Mbappé’s PSG no less, is the perfect symbol that this Milan has men and ideas to become great and compete on all fronts.
“Our boys showed up to win and demonstrated to Europe and the world that they are capable of expressing themselves at the highest levels on the international scene,” Cardinale told the paper.
“I am happy for the team and for our fans who played an important role as the ‘twelfth’ man on the pitch in this great victory. Very proud of everything that shows the best of Milan.”
The CEO Giorgio Furlani, board member Gordon Singer and president Paolo Scaroni were all in attendance on Tuesday night. They and Cardinale let themselves go in the celebrations like the other 75,000 fans in the stadium.
Cardinale seems more involved than ever. He has followed the team at home and away, is dealing personally for the new stadium and in the summer he restructured the club’s management organisation: no more director, room for a working group with Furlani at the helm, supported by the scouting chief Moncada and the director D’Ottavio.
