In the end, of course, the decision is always the player’s. What I can say is that Gigio was an exceptional professional, in every single day, and in the last game against Atalanta there was no one happier than him for qualifying for the Champions League. I have absolute esteem for him, as well as respect his choices. No negative accents. He did what he thought was best for him. , and there are some reasons on his side, but I don’t indicate which ones. ”
Gazidis also spent words of praise for Maldini and Pioli: “I believed in Paolo from the first moment, I knew he could become a top level sports director, and that’s exactly what he is today.” These, however, his thoughts on the technician: “Just as Ibra surprised me with his tender side, so Pioli impressed me with his character. I was impressed by Stefano’s strength, as well as his sensitivity”.
