Q&A: Adamo Ritacco (@AdamoRitacco)

Adamo Ritacco is a panelist on Rossoneri TV on a consistent basis. He does a good amount of work on there, shedding light on all things surrounding the Rossoneri. As a passionate fan of the game, Adamo was kind enough to answer some questions for me. Here is my Q&A with the man himself.





Q. I ask everybody. Let's hear your story on how you became a Milanista. Why this club over others?

A: "I'll admit it, I nearly became a Romanista, mainly due to the fact that Francesco Totti has been my idol since I could remember, but something about the red and black of Milan shouted out to me. I couldn't resist. It wasn't even due to all of the legendary players they had at the time, more so, the connection I felt when I first saw them walk onto the pitch."

Q. It's very early in his managerial career, but what traits do you see in Pippo Inzaghi that you can compare to past/present managers?

A: "The thing I like about Inzaghi is that he thrives off the unity/confidence of the squad. something Milan have been missing in recent years. Not that Milan is a complete unit at the moment, but he's guiding them to the right path. The key will be to find consistency within the squad as a whole. I'm willing to give him time."

Q. In your eyes, who has been the top performer for Milan in 2014?

A: "In my opinion, it's got to be Menez for the amount of important goals he's scored for the club. There's a bunch of other mentions I could make but he stands out for me."

Q. You contribute on a weekly basis to Rossoneri TV and occasionally Italian Football Daily. How does your work impact football for you?

A: " I feel that it gives people something to look forward to, as well as being something they can rely on either as a source or for a sense of entertainment. I love working within football as it's always been my dream, and hopefully I can make it to another level."

Q. Finally, I want a quick prediction from you. Does Milan make Champions League this season? And is it contingent on what they do/don't do in the January mercato?

A: "It's definitely a possibility. There are plenty of teams fighting for the position, which makes it an even tougher objective to obtain. I can see them making Europe at the very least."


Once again, I just want to thank Adamo for taking the time to answer some questions for a string of fan blog posts we are doing for the AC Milan Brothers account. If you don't follow Adamo on Twitter, please do so, @AdamoRitacco.
