Monday, February 18, 2013. Silvio Berlusconi suggests that AC Milan's coach Massimiliano Allegri should take care of Barcelona's striker Lionel Messi man-marking him, making clear that presidents (like him) don't meddle with tactics, but they do fire managers.
Lionel Messi, the menace |
While
giving an interview to Italian radio RTL 102.5, Silvio Berlusconi –
AC Milan's president and owner – talked about the tough game his
team will face on Wednesday, when they will play Barcelona UEFA
Champions League in San Siro (recently signed Mario “Bad apple”Balotelli
will not play, not being on the EUFA list for the competition), and
said that “It will be very difficult to beat them” and “my
suggestion is that [Lionel] Messi is man-marked.”. You cannot let your hair down, with players like him.
In the
following day the former Italian prime minister also suggested the
name of the defender who should take care of the Barça's (nickname
of the Catalan side) Argentine Ballon D'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year, the midfielder Sulley Muntari.
