Italian Silvio Berlusconi, owner of Monza, a team that has recently been promoted to Serie A, promised his players at the Christmas dinner “a bus full of prostitutes” if they beat a major rival in the second half of the season.
‘Il Cavaliere’s new 86-year-old Milan is now Monza, a team that, according to a checkbook, has promoted it to the top and is fourteenth in the Italian domestic championship, nine points above relegation.
After the hesitant start of Giovanni Stroppa, who was fired after five games, the enthusiasm for the good season revived by new coach Raffaele Palladino led the tycoon of the Forza Italia political party to promise his players at dinner. It’s Christmas that happens on Tuesday night.
“We have found a new coach of choice for our Primavera team (Under 19). He is good, friendly, kind and has the ability to encourage our kids. I also want to give some extra encouragement: ‘Now Juventus is coming. Berlusconi, who returned to the Senate 9 years ago “I’ll put a busload of hookers in your locker room if you win with one of these great teams,” he said, with a four-year prison sentence for tax evasion.
The video spread quickly on social networks and is now one of the most watched videos in Italy.
It’s not the first time Berlusconi has gotten all the attention for his statements since he was in Monza. As early as June, when the historic promotion of his team was established, he was swept up in the moment and dared to dream of his new football project: “Now ‘Scudetto’ and ‘Champions’”.
