The club with the most money wanted to cancel the season because they had a really bad season” Zanetti added. “If we say that we like a player, the day after Olimpia Milano comes and over pays him. Even because all this players, youngsters too, will never play also considering the star they have signed. Milano has such a big budget they think that buying players is enough (to win).
