What happened?
“He told me: Paolo, Milan’s presentation must be different from that of past years. We are the ones who will win everything in the world, you know. We will do something special: I will send two helicopters from Milanello, from which the players will descend. You think about organize everything from the Arena without telling anyone anything. When you start hearing the sound of helicopters, start the ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ music.”

“I still remember the pressure from the press, I was bombarded with questions, they wanted to know where the players were. They pulled me by the jacket: ‘I won’t tell you, I kept repeating’ Only I, Berlusconi and Galliani knew about the helicopter. Even the presenter of the evening, his friend Cesare Cadeo only found out once he arrived at the Arena”.
