Silvio Berlusconi has a good relationship with the Moratti family. Recently, as the prime minister of Italy, Berlusconi personally appeared at the Milan Convention Center during the election report for Letizia Moratti (the sister-in-law of Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti), who is the mayor of Milan, to support her. Berlusconi also mentioned his close relationship with the Moratti family. In front of the microphone, he said to Letizia Moratti: "I am deeply influenced by your family; my mother used to be your father-in-law's secretary." In the political arena, Berlusconi and the Moratti family are close allies, but this relationship does not affect their competition on the field. Even while giving a speech to support Massimo Moratti's sister-in-law, Berlusconi couldn't help but mock Inter Milan. He said to Letizia: "Last season, 'our' Inter won everything, but that was enough."
Recently, Italian media have been hyping up the return of Mourinho to Inter Milan after it was revealed by "Gazzetta dello Sport" that the Portuguese coach had registered his children in an English-speaking school in Lugano, Switzerland, which is very close to Milan. His children attended this school when he coached Inter Milan before. This news caused quite a stir, and rumors about Mourinho's return spread like wildfire. When asked about this matter, Berlusconi sarcastically said: "I really like Mourinho, I really do, especially when he says 'zero titles.' But after a year..."
There are only five rounds left in the Serie A league, and AC Milan leads the table with 71 points. The second-placed Napoli is already six points behind the Rossoneri. More importantly, the city rival Inter Milan, which has overshadowed AC Milan in the past five seasons, will find it difficult to pose any real threat to Allegri's team. Thirty years east, thirty years west, AC Milan's excellent performance this season finally allows Berlusconi to breathe a sigh of relief in front of his old rival Moratti.
Before the Milan Derby, Berlusconi once joked about Inter Milan using dog stories. He told "Gazzetta dello Sport": "I have a dog that keeps barking whenever Inter Milan draws in a match, and it hides under the bed whenever Inter loses, refusing to come out no matter how I pull it." I asked it, 'What would you do if Inter wins?' It replied: 'I don't know.' After all, I've raised it for 15 years..." Clearly, Berlusconi is quite satisfied with this "Berlusconi humor," and today he mentioned his fable again: "Now Inter has made this dog hide under the bed again. Congratulations to Inter."
