A pleasant evening, in which the former champion also recounted some anecdotes related to his career, answering questions from the many fans present: an audience that greatly appreciated the availability of Galli, a true idol in those parts.

“The fans have always put a positive pressure on me, after all, before being a footballer I was a fan myself – he recounted among other things -: wearing the Milan jersey has given me great responsibility. The evening of the Champions League final with Barcelona was magical, in the end Capello decided to have me play and not Desailly in defense but I seriously risked ending up on the bench. I also remember with great fondness the victory with Steaua Bucharest. Liedholm a master on the bench and a very superstitious man, from a magician he would even get the tollbooth to post on the highway before matches. When, with Castagner as coach, I scored my first goal in A, I exulted soberly: I was very young and had to keep my concentration high, because the game with Avellino was not over”.

Sunday is Juventus-Milan. “Allegri fixed the defense, keeping the center of gravity low, in this start of the season it was the right thing to do. I expect a balanced match” added Galli, before lending himself to the ritual of autographs and selfies.
