AC Milan Sertos Hotel is a hotel owned by the Milan club and is also the venue for Milan's championship celebrations.

Berlusconi has already issued a clearing order early, and today's AC Milan Sethos Hotel will only be used for celebrations.

In the evening, the hotel began to become lively.

Waiters coming and going, officials from the Italian Football Association, club executives, first-team players, etc., all gathered in the main hall of the auditorium.

Silvio Berlusconi attended the event dressed up, holding a wine glass, standing on the podium and delivering an impassioned speech.

"Every leader has this virtue!" Su Ke complained in a low voice.

This was the case with Dinamo Zagreb, and it is still the case with AC Milan.

However, this is also the joy of being a leader. It is very enjoyable not to say a few words at this time.

Berlusconi was so excited that before he finished speaking, he drank a glass of red wine in one gulp and then continued speaking.

During this period, he also CUE'd Su Ke, which caused applause from the audience.

Suker smiled and waved his hands. Fortunately, Berlusconi did not let him come on stage to speak.

When the applause died down, Suk looked at Maldini, who was also wearing a formal suit next to him.

All AC Milan players except Maldini attended in formal attire.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

Suk asked.

Maldini scratched his head: "I'm going to socialize later."

Maldini has made it clear that he will retire after next season.

After retiring, Maldini may directly enter the Milan management. He will continue to work in the football industry, but he will no longer be a player.

For a while, Maldini couldn't adapt to the transition from player to management, but Berlusconi supported him, so Maldini didn't have much pressure.

After about ten minutes, Berlusconi's speech finally ended.

"We walked!"

Pirlo and Gattuso pulled Suker and other Milan first-team players towards a separate celebration hall.

Maldini waved his hand, but he did not follow.

Not long after, Berlusconi came over. He patted Maldini on the shoulder and smiled: "Let's go, I will take you to meet some people."

Maldini is an excellent player and a legendary leader.

But in this kind of social situation, he still felt very raw.

There are a lot of things I want to express, but I can’t express them well.

It's just that those Football Association officials and Milan's top management are very interested in Maldini's face, so they are very harmonious.

After a round of socializing, Berlusconi led Maldini and Milan Vice Chairman Galliani to the exclusive box.

There were only three of them in the entire box.

"how do you feel?"

Berlusconi sat in the main seat and looked at Maldini with a smile.

Maldini loosened his tie and said with a wry smile, "I'm still not used to it."

"It's always like this in the beginning. The management is different from the stadium. You just have to adapt slowly."

Berlusconi said with a smile that he didn't think Maldini needed to worry, as he would be able to enjoy himself in Milan with his status.

"The management is different from the game. Some things cannot be decided by mood." Milan Vice Chairman Galliani looked at Maldini and said; "Especially you can't do anything casually. Here, doing something means losing."

Martini frowned.

Galliani is Milan's vice president and Berlusconi's right-hand man, but Maldini has trouble dealing with him.

Even if Maldini enjoys great success in Milan, there are still people who hate him, and Galliani is one of them.

"You don't need to judge whether I can do a good job or not." Maldini said directly.

Galliani frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Berlusconi smiled and smoothed things over: "Okay! Okay! Paul is about to enter the management. He is inexperienced. You have to give him more patience, not criticize."

After saying that, he looked at Maldini and said: "The same goes for you. Galliani is right. The management is different from the game. You have to learn to change your thinking."

Maldini nodded, Lao Bei still had to give him face.

"By the way, after this season is over, I think it is necessary to make some improvements." Maldini suddenly suggested.

"Oh?" Berlusconi looked at Maldini in surprise, while Galliani still frowned.

"What suggestions do you have?" Berlusconi asked with a smile.

Maldini glanced at Galliani, coughed dryly and said: "I think it is necessary to increase Suker's salary, re-sign a contract with him, and keep him firmly trapped in Milan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent instantly.

Berlusconi said nothing.

Galliani on the side suddenly shouted: "No! It's okay to sign a contract, but you can't increase the salary. He already has the highest salary in Serie A."

"The maximum salary is not enough!" Maldini: "With Suker's current performance, this salary cannot tie him to Milan. Could it be that double golden boots in the Champions League and the league, future Ballon d'Or + World Footballer and other honors can't help him Increase salary and benefits?”

"Milan is also involved in these honors, especially the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year, which are mainly promoted by us, so there is no need to give Suker more compensation." Galliani looked at Maldini and said; " You should throw away these childish ideas!"

"Childish?" Maldini said dissatisfied; "How come my ideas are childish? Only money can tie Su Ke up now. Is there anything else?"

"In addition to money, we can give him everything else." Galliani said solemnly.

Maldini said loudly; "You are just targeting me, there is no need to drag Su Ke into it."

"I'm just talking about it!"

"Fart! You just think I intervened in management matters too early. Yes, we do have conflicts, but this cannot damage Milan's interests. We cannot push Suker out!"

"Who is harming Milan's interests?" Galliani said angrily; "You always think too simply."

"I think it's simple? Is there a better way? If we can't bring better treatment to Su Ke, he will leave! I can tell you clearly! He will really leave!"

Maldini pointed at Galliani and yelled: "Do you really want to see him leave? Then you will be Milan's sinner!"

"enough!--"

Berlusconi shouted loudly and silenced the two men.

They saw that Berlusconi's expression was extremely gloomy, but as he took a long breath, his expression gradually softened.

"I'm going to find a new bottle of red wine. This one doesn't taste good."

Berlusconi excused himself to leave.

After Lao Bei walked out of the room, Maldini still looked at Galliani angrily.

Galliani rubbed his hair in annoyance, drank the red wine in front of him, stared at Maldini, and said in a deep voice, "Paul! We really need to have a good chat."

"I think so!" Maldini said equally unhappy.

The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and Galliani suddenly sighed: "Okay, to be honest, I hate you very much. Of course, I don't hate you as a person. As the captain of Milan, as a leader, you have done a good job. Your actions and your loyalty are admired by everyone, including me."

"It's just that there is a lack of communication between us. The management has its own work and its own operating system. The 'Knights' Table' you created has interfered with the transfer many times, which has caused us a lot of trouble."

"Of course, I know that you are angry. You resented me for sending Albertini away, and you even vented your anger on Pirlo for a while. But now I want to ask, is Pirlo really bad?"

Maldini was at a loss for words.

They are just plain resentful.

At that time, Ancelotti and Galliani teamed up to drive out Albertini and support Pirlo to take over, which angered them.

Looking at Maldini's silence, Galliani continued; "There is also the club's problem. Do you understand the current situation?"

"Last season, we suffered a huge loss, bigger than you think. A lot of the money was paid for by Mr. Chairman from his own pocket."

Maldini frowned: "Last season, we were the Champions League champions!"

Galliani: "Have you never thought about the stock price plummeting due to the phone scandal?"

Maldini was silent.

Galliani: "That is a huge hole. Mr. President is very happy today because we won the double championship and can fill a certain hole, but there are still many problems."

"The reason why I say this is to tell you, Paul! We have no money! It's not that we don't want to increase Su Ke's salary, but that we really can't do it."

"You shouldn't say this in front of Mr. Chairman. Suker's financial investment in competing for the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer was paid for by the Chairman himself. In this environment, Mr. Chairman has gone to the limit." Galea Ni sighed; "He is losing money!"

Hearing this, Maldini was stunned.

"Is it that bad?"

"You will know after you retire." Galliani rubbed his forehead and looked haggard: "The reason why Milan cannot make outstanding signings is that it loses market appeal, and it is also part of the lack of transfer funds. Milan It’s going downhill and we all need to be frugal.”
