Dejan Savicevic finds it baffling that the late Franco Baresi was never recognised with a Ballon d'Or trophy and has laid the blame for that at the hands of journalists who did not vote for the iconic former Rossoneri captain in the voting procedure.
Tributes continue to roll in for the legendary Baresi, who recently died at the age of 66.
Milan icons from various generations will congregate in the city on Tuesday for Baresi's funeral. Savicevic will be among the attendees, and he stopped to speak about his former captain in an in-depth interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport that was published on Sunday.
"He was a great person, a great man. He was a great teammate and a wonderful player. He had football running through him, he understood everything and had an incredible vision of the game," Savicevic recalled.
"San Siro used to sing: 'One capitano, there's only one capitano'. It was wonderful to listen to those chants, they gave us goosebumps, it gave everyone a boost.
