Savicevic by car from Podgorica to Milan at Berlusconi’s funeral – Corriere.it

Dejan Savicevic will also be there today, at Silvio Berlusconi’s funeral in Milan. Arrives by car from Montenegro: «I spoke to Daniele Massaro and I told him that I could take a plane at 11. And he advised me to wait, because it is a state funeral, there are rules and restrictions for safety. Okay, I understand. Then they called me back and at that point I left by car from Podgorica to Milan. Today I’ll be in the Duomo too, I can’t miss it». Savicevic, the genius of one of the most beautiful Berlusconi’s Milan, is very close to his president: “he was truly a second father – he says in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport —. She loved me. Me too to him. I will say goodbye to him for the last time».

A second father, confirms Dejan: «It seems like a big, exaggerated word. But it is so. I felt that he loved me, that he respected me, that he defended me. Even too much. I did shit … and I was wrong, but he fixed everything and told me to be calm, to be patient. Once, against Anderlecht, I refused to be on the bench. A mess came out, Capello got angry. Berlusconi agreed with Fabio, but he also said that Dejan must be understood. He is a champion and he suffers because he doesn’t play ».

The beautiful moments, the Champions Cup final won by Milan in 1994. And a call from Berlusconi: «He had just been elected prime minister. He called me the day before the match: “Dear Dejan, they say you are a genius. Well, show me against Barcelona”. It was perhaps the most beautiful final. And when I think of that goal, my Milan, Berlusconi, that wonderful environment always comes to mind. We became like this because he was there, our great president».
