Current Milan set-up slammed by former Berlusconi aide

Silvio Berlusconi’s former colleague Fedele Confalonieri blasted the current Milan set-up, with everyone from owner Gerry Cardinale to ‘fake champion’ Rafael Leao.

It feels like a very long way from the success of Berlusconi’s Milan, who over 30 years became the most successful club side on the planet.

Among those at his side during that time was Confalonieri, who is now the President of Berlusconi’s media company Mediaset.

While attending the launch of a book about the club, Confalonieri spoke to reporters and did not hold back on the current state of the Rossoneri.

Confalonieri unimpressed with modern Milan

“Leao is a fake champion. He looks like he might be a champion, but a champion plays 90 minutes every game. How much does Leao play, really?

“Luka Modric, now there is a champion, he plays every minute, even at age 40. He is someone who won the Ballon d’Or in the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”
