I’M SORRY NOT TO BE THERE
He would like to be back at Reggio Calabria, but before it will be important to return in the group. Filippo Inzaghi and his people, at San Nicolo. An evening of shared emotions and sincere confessions.
MILAN – What a night, last night. The entire world was around Superpippo. The Coni of his territory, the children of his province, the journalists, the coaches who forged and launched him. And then his family, the most important thing. When at the “Comoedia”, the discotheque close by to his house, at San Nicolo, Filippo Inzaghi went on stage, everybody’s eyes were on him. He deserves them: 63 goals in the international cups, world titles on the club and national team level with his goals, 5 goals in international finals of Milan, are a sign. Permanent. Pippo: “To the many children, kids, present tonight, I remember that if I didn’t study, my parents wouldn't let me go to play. When you start familiarizing with the ball, you must only think about having fun with football. The most important thing is to study, because when you start, you never know if you will become a champion. And I also want to say that football is important, even if you don't become a champion, as it still gives you extraordinary emotions, it helps to stay with people and to build important rapports. Understood? Have fun, then if you become someone important it’s all gained, but it must not be an obsession.”
Inzaghi again: “Here tonight there are many ex-coaches of mine. Jokingly they were telling me that I never asked to b substituted during a game…whoever knows me, would know that I want to play all games. I would be sorry not to play. On Wednesday Milan is at Reggio Calabria and I would like to be there, even though I must still solve a minor physical problem and I will not be able to play. Arsenal? Before being ready, I must still play some other games. It’s a pity, because after Yokohama I was fine, but I got injured in the derby game. However now I’m fine, my spirit is the right one. Now whilst I was watching the images of tonight’s video, for which I thank Milan Channel, I thought that the worst day would be the day I quit. When I quit, don’t show these images to me anymore, because it becomes tough...Pato? He's 18-years-old, I'm double his age...Let's not give him too many responsibilities, even though he, just like Gilardino and Kaka, is the future of Milan. Soon the important games will arrive and there will be the need for everyone in our group. However, I never saw such a good player at 18 years of age.”
