Legendary AC Milan player Andrea Pirlo recalled how he left the team in 2011.
- "The decision was difficult because Milan was a family where we were friends, including the leaders of the club. It was difficult to leave this place, but I needed new challenges and I had the courage to demonstrate that I could be an important player at another club. It was a personal challenge.
Berlusconi: He was always with the team. He was fantastic as president of the club and in everything he did with the team. I can only thank him because those ten years were a very happy time for me," said Andrea Pirlo.
It will be recalled that Andrea Pirlo defended the colors of AC Milan from 2001 to 2011. After that, the midfielder moved to Juventus Turin.
