Ganz: It was Inter Milan who asked me to leave, but after I joined Milan, even my friends insulted me

November 23rd Before this round of Milan Derby, the famous player Ganz, who has played for both Inter Milan and Milan, was interviewed.

Why did you transfer from Inter Milan to Milan?

It was the Inter Milan club that asked me to leave. At that time, the Inter Milan team had forwards such as Ronaldo, Zamorano, and Recoba, as well as Moriero and Djorkaeff. I wanted to stay, but that wasn't possible. Both Milan and Lecce wanted me, so I chose Milan. This caused huge controversy and the fans thought I was a traitor.

You revealed in your autobiography that some of your true friends also insulted you for it.

Yes, unfortunately that's the case. Not just the fans, but my friends, the people I had gone out to dinner with the night before. I thought they were close to me, but they turned out to be very abusive to me over the transfer. Those days really made me very sad. They called me, insulted me, and then hung up. Still, even though I was hurt, I never thought, "Why am I doing this?" I had a dream at Inter and that dream was taken away from me. Milan gave me the chance to chase my dream again and I just accepted it.

Then there was the Milan derby in the Coppa Italia...

Twenty-three days after the transfer, I experienced one of the most difficult nights in my life. I started and Milan won 5-0 and I scored the second goal. Savicevic caused chaos on the wing and when Sarto tried to stop him he passed the ball to me for an assist. I hit the ball into the goal with the inside of my foot and the Milan fans started singing for me: He always scores.
