“Standing next to Adriano is like going to University, he always teaches you something,” Riso told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“In difficult times when I asked for advice, he always gave the right advice. We had a fight when I took [Bryan] Cristante to Benfica, we didn’t talk for months, but the bond prevailed.
“The Carlos Tevez-Alexandre Pato exchange? It was all done, all fine, then nothing. It would have been an incredible deal, it would have changed Milan’s recent history.
“Galliani and I also have our secrets though…
“Just one? Ok: he had chosen Sarri for Milan but it ran aground. I can never reveal the background of these deals though.”
