Filippo Galli: “The Amorim project will pay off. Cardinal? It’s obvious he cares deeply.”
The former AC Milan player at the presentation of the book "Milan in the World": "I'm on Ramos' bandwagon, and he can play alongside Tresoldi. Camarda? If he leaves, he'll have to play a lot."

"Amorim? I like him. He made mistakes, but he was the first to understand that. Above all, he's an excellent communicator. He's got a strong AC Milan in his hands." This is the opinion of Filippo Galli – AC Milan's all-time champion from 1983 to 1996 – who spoke openly about the Rossoneri's season and the new direction under Gerry Cardinale, who has revolutionized everything since May 25th: "I like Gerry, he's increasingly present within the club. Now he's the one making the decisions. He's made a sort of mea culpa after the mistakes of previous seasons, but you can see he really cares about AC Milan." Galli took the appropriate jab at the Rossoneri, who have been overly skeptical and critical in a season where the team is experiencing a rollercoaster of results: "If you lose, everything goes wrong; if you win, you find the negative. It doesn't work that way. Balance is needed; football is a complex sport. The Amorim project will bear fruit." He then appealed to the fans: "Be patient, and we'll win again."

Galli has played with great players and takes the opportunity to weigh in on the summer signings: "Gila is a top player, but we knew he would be.
Moreira surprised me, and he wears Kaká's number 22..." And what about Ramos? "I'm on his bandwagon. We'd all like him to be more focused in front of goal, but don't forget all the work he does without the ball. That goes unnoticed, but it's crucial." At this point, the question of his assistant, Francesco Camarda, becomes inevitable, as he's finding less and less time: "They all need to sit down and decide what's best for him. If he leaves, he needs to play a lot."
Galli then praised the potential signing of Nicolò Tresoldi: "He's strong, young, and has goals under his belt. Above all, he's a Milanista. And that matters a lot. For me, he can play alongside Ramos." His conclusion on the season's ambitions: "Milan must have a bigger squad and move forward in Europe, without underestimating them. They must do so to respect their history," the former defender concluded.
event
Galli spoke this morning directly from Casa Milan, during the presentation of "Milan in the World," the new book written by Mauro Suma that explores the club's international dimension through a long, itinerant journey through cities, stadiums, and iconic locations in the Rossoneri's history. A blend of football, history, and passion, it explores the journeys of the key figures who helped bring AC Milan far beyond the confines of Milan. It's no coincidence that Billy Costacurta, Demetrio Albertini, Daniele Massaro, and Mauro Tassotti, in addition to Galli, were also present at the event. The book's preface was written by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who writes, among other things: "AC Milan is the most important team in my life.
The only one that convinced me to return. And convincing Zlatan is no easy feat. AC Milan isn't just a collection of trophies: it's an identity, a way of being in the world. Wherever it goes, it leaves its mark. AC Milan is Italy, the world."
