During a documentary about her coach Milan, Arrigo Sacchientitled “The Tale of a Visionary,” the Dutch legend Ruud Gullit spoke about the various tensions and some of the problems faced by the Rossoneri on their trip to the Italian South in May 1988.

“Then I realized there was a big police plan, it was full of security because nobody in Naples was allowed to touch our food! They were afraid that someone would put something in our food, so we were on the top floor, no one was allowed to go up. Our chef, Michel, was doing his job and meanwhile these security people were walking by and looking at our plates…

The fans were screaming below our hotel all night so we wouldn’t sleep. On the day of the race, they threw objects at the bus we were on! It was an adventure for me, I couldn’t believe it”stated…

A match in which Milan won 3-2 at home Naplesfinally winning the championship of the 1987/88 season.
