Carlo Pellegatti commented controversially on the words with which Conte introduced himself to Milan also in reference to the Rossoneri.
Antonio Conte is one of those names that always surrounds controversy. The reason is to be found in the smoking-hot character of the former national coach and in the fact that he never has any hesitation in expressing his thoughts. The frankness and harshness of expression of the Salento man certainly cannot unite, on the contrary. He will inevitably always be the darling of the fans he coaches but, inevitably, a cause for discussion in other people’s homes. The words of the new Napoli coach sparked a sharp reply from Carlo Pellegatti who, during one of the broadcasts of ‘Tv Play’he expressed his thoughts clearly.
Conte started crying
We remember with incredible clarity the anger, rightly so we would say, felt by Carlo Pellegatti towards Antonio Conte at the end of the famous match between Milan and Juventus 12 years ago, to be clear in the match of Muntari’s goal seen by everyone except the referee. The AC Milan journalist replies to the new Italian coach by underlining that “Milan is careful about salaries. Osimhen takes ten million from Napoli. And so Conte must look at Napoli’s balance sheets, not the others. He started crying. Milan wouldn’t even dream of paying 10 million to a player.” He then went on to point out that “those I don’t understand sentences about the wage bill. And if Zirkzee, the pearl of the Rossoneri market, were to arrive, he would earn 4/4.5 million a year. Napoli won the championship last year, then had an accident along the way. Before that, Napoli was in Europe every year, for seven-eight years, without suffering. And Conte doesn’t go to a bad club. It was only wrong one season.”
Conte to Milan? No thanks
The journalist continues his speech by stating that “Conte was not the right profile for Milan due to his character. If you start saying “I decide, I speak” it’s exactly the opposite of what Americans in Milan are looking for. It seemed to me that he started his journey at Napoli right at Conte’s, galvanizing the environment. If Is Fonseca a yes man? No. Not even Inzaghi, Thiago Motta, all these are not yes men. Between Inter, Milan and Napoli the richest player is paid by Napoli”
