"It is a great joy and for all of Brianza one of the most industrious provinces of Italy that have a joy in their hearts that they did not even expect to have".
Thus Silvio Berlusconi, from the microphones of Sky Sport, comments on the historic promotion of his Monza to Serie A.
"Clearly being in Serie A - adds the president - we have to aim for the Scudetto and then the Champions Cup. I'm used to always winning. The promotion of Monza and the Scudetto of Milan are results that are good for the heart".
"A real battle, it was difficult but we managed a historic feat. I'm excited. Monza was born in 1912 and had never been in Serie A: we brought it there."
Silvio Berlusconi said this from the stands of the Pisa stadium immediately after the success of the Brianza club in extra time against the home team which earned him promotion to A. "Now it will be very nice to face Milan in Serie A - added the Cavaliere - because I will have my heart on both sides ".
