Ivan Zamorano, former AC Milan striker, expressed his opinion on the future San Siro stadium during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. The famous Chilean player underlined that, although the Meazza represents a "piece of my heart" for him, the world of football must evolve and that it is necessary to invest in modern structures to guarantee the growth of the teams. According to Zamorano, the new San Siro should soon be able to boast the same grandeur as its predecessor, but with current comforts and technologies.
During the interview, Zamorano also took stock of Milan's current season. He noted that, compared to the previous year, the team is more offensive and has a high-level attack. However, he noted that this aggression also leads to a few too many goals. “When you decide to play in such an intense way, it is normal to allow some errors in some phases of the match,” he explained. Despite this, he highlighted that defensive solidity has improved and cited the victory against Fiorentina as an example of significant progress.
Zamorano's comment comes in a context of wider discussions on the future of the San Siro, where the authorities and the club's owners are evaluating various options for the redevelopment of the stadium. The player reiterated the importance of maintaining the stadium's tradition, whilst embracing the innovations needed to compete at an international level.
With the season still underway, Milan continue to look to consolidate their position in Serie A, focusing on a combination of a powerful attack and a more solid defence. Zamorano concluded his interview by underlining that, although the future stadium is an ambitious project, the team must focus on the present and make the most of the resources available. The club, in fact, is preparing to finalize plans for the redevelopment of the San Siro, with the aim of offering fans a high-level experience both on and off the pitch.
