The Thoughts of Filippo Galli

Host of 'Cose di calcio' on Cusano Italia TV with Debora Carletti and Flavio Maria Tassotti as hosts, Filippo Galli, a Rossoneri in the days of Sacchi and Capello’s Milan, had no doubts: "Inter won this championship with great merit, as the results came in è it appeared blatant a bit’ to everyone that Inter could win", while on the'other side of the waterway è time for reflections on the future of coach Pioli, to whom Galli recognizes the merit in the second half of the season of having done worse only than Inter, but points out "from Milan is always expected to finish in front forò not always è possible".

The Pioli è cycle is now closed and about the future there's a big question mark. Lopetegui does not warm the hearts of the fans at all, per Galli: "It is not è that high-sounding name that can give security like Conte, De Zerbi, Motta". Some big names are also ready to say goodbye, one above all the Frenchman Giroud leader on the field and beyond. " A center forward will be needed, there is talk of Zirkzee, maybe I say". 

"And then definitely a central defender, a holding midfielder, in short undoubtedly Milan will have to move in the market, we wait confidently. I am a Rossoneri fan as well as having been a player and so one suffers. And then we have to understand which important players will be sold, if they will be sold, è it is difficult to say what the company will doà. It will also depend on the’coach that will come, said Galli.

Limited to the last few matches, the former defender hoped for a greater contribution from the outfielders: "Leao and Hernández, that famous left-wing chain that solved Milan’s problems at times through plays and a unique ability to find each other" have been somewhat lacking.
