Milan Have The Best Central Defenders In Europe - Silvio Berlusconi
The Rossoneri chief has lavished more praise on his players...

The outspoken owner of Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, has claimed that his side's new-look central defensive pairing is the best European football has to offer, however, he reserved judgement on Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for the time being.

"Thiago Silva is very strong, and with the return of [Alessandro] Nesta [from injury], we have the best defensive pairing in Europe. Who can be sure that we will not go back to the levels of [Paolo] Maldini and [Franco] Baresi?" Berlusconi was quoted as saying by Goal.com Italia.

"Huntelaar? He is yet to find his position, we'll wait to make judgements."

One position that is set in stone is Berlusconi's continuing presence at Milanello, with the Rossoneri chief dismissing rumours that he will sell the club.

"They are just inventions, my inheritance will still be here after a hundred years," he boomed.
