Silvio Berlusconi Wants ‘Possessed’ AC Milan For Manchester United Battle
The Rossoneri owner is confident Ronaldinho will inspire his side to victory at Old Trafford.
By Vince Masiello
AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has called for the Diavoli to stay true to their name when they visit Manchester United tomorrow night.
The Serie A side take on the Red Devils in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie and will have to reverse a 3-2 deficit from the first leg to progress to the quarter-finals.
“It has to be a great Milan performance,” Berlusconi told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
“We need a possessed Milan with everyone being at the top of their game and without distractions until the final second.
“I think Milan can make it if they have belief. And Milan do, because we are not afraid of any team in the world, not even Manchester United.
“If anything, the other sides have to fear us.”
Ronaldinho has been in superb form for the Italians of late and Berlusconi believes the Brazilian will steal the show at Old Trafford.
“Ronaldinho could be the key man,” mused the Italian Prime Minister.
“He can make the difference with his tricks. But he must be persuaded to play further up the field and try and score goals with more determination.”
