00:00At the end of the 80s there was a lot of talk about an Italian trophy, very similar to the model of the Charity Shield, the current Community Shield.
00:10A trophy put on display in a dry race between the winners of the Scudetto and those of the Italian Cup.
00:15It was discussed for the first time in 1988.
00:19A dinner between friends, all journalists, and at a certain point one of them, precisely at the moment of the dessert,
00:25proposes an idea to the president of the team daily followed for work, Sampdoria.
00:32But why doesn't Samp challenge the champions of Italy?
00:36The fact that a few weeks later the proposal was passed to the president of the professional national league, Luciano Nizzola,
00:43had made clear the concept of an idea intended to make history.
00:47It was Enzo Dorsi, then a signatory of the Corriere dello Sport, who, together with the other journalists present,
00:54convinced Mantovani to discuss it with more seriousness and concreteness.
00:59Mantovani, president of Sampdoria.
01:01The opponent of Sampdoria of Mancini, Vialli and Mantovani?
01:05But the Milan of Arrigo Sacchi, champion of Italy in 1987-88?
01:09Not just any team.
01:11That one? Giovanni Galli in goal?
01:13Tassotto, Filippo Galli, Baresi and Maldini in defense?
01:15Donadoni, Colombo, Ancelotti and Vani in midfield?
01:18Gullit and Van Basten in attack?
01:20The then Serie A league agreed and that's how the Italian Super Cup was born.
01:25First edition?
01:27A year later, given the concomitance with the games in Seoul,
01:31it was played in San Siro, chosen because in Milan there was the headquarters of the football league, on 14 June 1989.
01:40In practice, Milan played its first Italian Super Cup in June 1989,
01:45a year and a month later, the conquest of the Scudetto, in May 1988.
01:50A triumph that was now almost forgotten,
01:53because in the meantime the Rossoneri had also become champions of Europe.
01:57In reality, that Milan-Sampdoria should have been played on 14 September 1988,
02:03then a first resumption on 18 October 1988.
02:08But the fixed schedule and the international commitments, including the Olympics in Seoul,
02:12moved everything to 15 June 1989,
02:16a date contested after the game by the great Vujadin Boskov,
02:21but the president of the league, the lawyer Nizzola, intervened to ensure that all the formal passages
02:25and all the dates had been agreed and signed by Milan-Sampdoria and the same league.
02:30In short, a few weeks after the Champions League final won against Steaua,
02:35almost sealing the Catalan triumph for Milan,
02:38came the first victory in the first edition of the League Super Cup, 3-1 to Sampdoria,
02:44with the Blucerchiati in advantage with Luca Vialli,
02:46the first half that closed 1-1 with the draw of Frank Rijkaard,
02:50up to the nets in the last part of the race by Graziano Mannari,
02:53first and then by Marco Van Basten, on penalty kick.
02:58I remember that I started from the bench, I played against Antignotti,
03:03when I was almost sure to start from the beginning,
03:08in the second half I finished 1-1 with Reti and Di Vialli in the last part of the race,
03:14then the draw by Rijkaard,
03:16and in the second half the coach said to me,
03:18come on, let's play with two points,
03:21and I came in and I was fine, it was a beautiful goal.
03:26I think it was the first goal at the other door,
03:29I scored from Juventus' goal,
03:32it was a beautiful memory,
03:34I had the chance to score the second goal,
03:37then I was attacked by Pagliuca,
03:39using the penalty that Van Basten scored,
03:42it was beautiful,
03:44it was one of my last games in black and red,
03:49so I remember it with great affection and a little bit of nostalgia,
03:53it was fantastic.
03:55After being the first Italian club to play it together with Sampdoria,
03:59the first Italian club to win it,
04:01Milan remained for several seasons without trophies,
04:04and therefore without a Super Cup final.
04:06The big comeback, this time at the beginning of the season,
04:09in August 1992, is Milan Parma at San Siro.
04:12The Super Cup was the entrance to the labyrinth
04:15where that evening Milan had infiltrated,
04:18and from where it came out, thanks to the goal of Daniele Massaro,
04:22the striker that the journalists and the big newspapers of the time
04:25described as the man of extreme occasions.
04:28Milan won its second Super Cup thanks to him,
04:31who on paper, but only on paper,
04:33started like the reserve of Papin, Van Basten and Lentini,
04:37and who then always took the stage,
04:40because very often, at the moment of the dunque,
04:43in heavy games like a final,
04:45no one was as good and fast as him to take the half-meter,
04:49which crushes the opponent.
04:51Super Cup at Milan, even if Fabio Capello
04:54had to give up in August 1992 against Parma
04:58to Frenkie Rijkaard,
05:00who at the time was the point of conjunction
05:02between the idea of ​​the game and its practical application.
05:05Frenk out, just because he was sick,
05:08hardening with the pouring of a calf,
05:10and without him the product was not the same
05:12as the usual Milan of the invincible,
05:14but a slightly unbalanced team
05:16and it is so that after Van Basten's initial goal,
05:19which made him think it was all easy,
05:21Parma's draw would have arrived,
05:23on penalty with Sandro Melli,
05:25before Massaro's decisive goal
05:27at the 70th minute of the Super Cup final
05:29in August 1992.
05:35A year later, here is a new first time for Russo Nera,
05:38the export Super Cup.
05:40Milan-Torino on the field in Washington,
05:43the challenge between a team, that of Russo Nera,
05:46projected to the new and international vision,
05:49against a Torino still belonging
05:51to the Italian tradition in a narrow sense.
05:54The historic Russo Nero manager,
05:56Paolo Taveggia, had just left Milan,
05:59but was already working for the World Cup
06:01of the United States, which would be held the following year,
06:04in 1994.
06:06Here then, the appetizer,
06:08the final of the Italian Super Cup in the States.
06:11Milan discovers America thanks to Marco Simone,
06:14who immediately decides the challenge on foreign soil,
06:17with Torino, thus conquering
06:19his third Italian Super Cup.
06:21The heat and a busy schedule
06:23had still allowed the two formations
06:25to interpret a pleasant copy.
06:28That final Milan-Torino of the Super Cup
06:30of August 1993 was played,
06:32to the sound of the American anthem,
06:34between popcorn and the smell of hot dogs,
06:37in a stadium covered
06:40by our emigrants.
06:42It was the first step of a colonization
06:44work undertaken by our football,
06:46also through promotional and commercial initiatives
06:49such as the Italian Football League
06:51and Fantastic Italia,
06:53initiatives managed by Lega Professionisti
06:56and Feder Calcio,
06:58a colonization operation that was
07:00decidedly complex at the time,
07:02but which then continued.

07:16And this is the sequence of penalties
07:18with the image that remains sculpted
07:20of the great left-footer looking at the ball
07:22rise over the cross and of Seba Rossi
07:24who raises his left arm in a sign of victory.
07:27The sequence of penalties
07:29necessary after the 1-1 of the 90 minutes
07:32in August 1994,
07:34another Super Cup final,
07:36with a Milan that still felt the fatigue
07:39of the American World Cup
07:41in which all the Milanese players
07:43had been the supporting axis
07:45of the national team of Arrigo Sacchi.
07:48It was the first time in the history
07:50of the Italian Super Cup
07:52that a final was repeated.
07:54After Milan-Sampdoria 3-1 in 1989,
07:56here is Milan-Sampdoria with a red-black victory
07:59and penalties five years later.
08:01A routine victory,
08:03a success to which the red-blacks
08:05were now used,
08:07but which instead had to be valued
08:09because for many years the red-blacks
08:11would have been without winning the trophy.
08:13A long fast,
08:15also due to the defeats
08:17against Fiorentina di Battistuta
08:19with Tabarez on the bench in 1996
08:21and against Parma di Malesani
08:23with Zaccheroni on the bench in 1999.
08:25Milan also lost in 2003,
08:27the only Italian Super Cup
08:29in its history
08:31in which Milan participated
08:33as the winner of the Italian Cup.
08:35If in 1993 against Turin
08:37was played at the Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy
08:39Stadium in Washington,
08:41ten years later Milan and Juventus
08:43were instead on stage
08:45at the Giants Stadium in New York.
08:47A rock-and-roll final,
08:49but above all a victory
08:51for the Italian team
08:53A few months later
08:55the red-black triumph
08:57in Manchester
08:59in the all-Italian final
09:01of the Champions League
09:03of Old Trafford.
09:05Pro-Milan penalties in Manchester,
09:07pro-Juve penalties across the ocean
09:09in New York
09:11and a trophy for Del Piero and his team-mates.
09:15Milan won the Super Cup again
09:17in 2004,
09:19exactly ten years after
09:21Mihajlovic's Samp.
09:23Andriy Shevchenko,
09:25with the eyes of Bambi
09:27and the instinct of the hunter,
09:29was a democratic bomber.
09:31He scored indistinctly to all the teams,
09:33from Real Madrid to Ancona,
09:35from Bayern to Treviso.
09:37But for two teams in particular
09:39it was a kind of taboo.
09:41At Inter, in total he scored 15 goals,
09:4314 in the derbies,
09:45plus one with the shirt of Dynamo Kiev.
09:47At Lazio, 13 goals scored,
09:49plus one in the Coppa Italia
09:51in the season of his return to loan from London.
09:53At Bianco Celesti,
09:55Sheva scored two triples,
09:57one in 1999,
09:59when in a 4-4 Lazio-Milan
10:01he was definitely in the Italian Serie A.
10:03The other triple in the final
10:05of the Italian Super Cup
10:07on 21 August 2004,
10:09where he gave the demonstration
10:11of all his football completeness.
10:13Lazio, who was in San Siro,
10:15had just been saved from failure
10:17by his brother Claudio Lutito,
10:19who had taken over the company
10:21from Sergio Cragnotti
10:23and had spread the debts
10:25from 2004 to the years to come.
10:27Milan was so well
10:29that we did not even notice
10:31the absence of Seedorf, Pirlo and Inzaghi.
10:33At the end, a new look
10:35with platinum hair of Andriy Shevchenko,
10:37a 3-0 final with a triple of Andriy,
10:39who will continue the sunny year
10:41without stopping to score.
10:43Among the most favourable performances
10:45are the two goals in two games
10:47at Barcelona in the Champions League.
10:49A year that Sheva will conclude
10:51by lifting the golden ball.
10:53A sweet Super Cup,
10:55but at the same time bitter,
10:57because Milan was very strong
10:59and was very close that year
11:01to winning everything.
11:03But after the duel lost with Juventus
11:05and the final of Istanbul lost with Liverpool,
11:07that Super Cup would have remained
11:09the only title of the season.
11:11More or less the same thing
11:13and to make it even sweeter
11:15the trophy was the rival,
11:17par excellence, Inter.
11:19The Inter Super Cup
11:21is a unique seasonal trophy
11:23at the Beijing Bird's Nest,
11:25before the long duel
11:27also here with Juventus
11:29and the unfortunate elimination
11:31in the quarterfinals of the Champions League
11:33against Barcelona.
11:35Milan won the first and only
11:37trophy of the season
11:39beating Beijing Inter 2-1,
11:41after a first half
11:43more in the blue than the red-black
11:45managed thanks to Schneider's great goal
11:47on the penalty.
11:49In the second half with a devastating pressing
11:51the team of Allegri overturned the result
11:53with the powerful goals of Zlatan and Prince.
11:55The Bird's Nest was full of fans,
11:5770,000 fans of rare efficiency
11:59that in the great spot of Italian football
12:01made a big figure.
12:03Victory at the Minam of always
12:05with the usual defense, Abate, Nesta,
12:07Tiago Silva and Zambrotta.
12:09The Dutch team, Van Bommel and Seedorf
12:11with the arrival of Rino Gattuso
12:13and then the Punte, Pato, Ibra, Boateng,
12:15controversial after the game,
12:17but the Pagelle without Abbiati's vote
12:19explained many things.
12:23The seventh is the highlight,
12:25as between the Champions League
12:27that of Athens.
12:29The seventh Italian Super Cup
12:31red-black and Doha,
12:33December 23, 2016,
12:35a very strong and great emotion.
12:37The first of January 2019
12:39in Saudi Arabia against Juventus
12:41and of January 2022
12:43always in Arabia against Inter.
12:45But Doha, remains Doha.
12:47Massimiliano Allegri in August 2011
12:49was the coach of Milan
12:51victorious in Beijing,
12:53but in December 2016
12:55was the coach of Juventus
12:57defeated by Milan.
12:59The red-blacks impose themselves
13:01from the disc after the nets of Chiellini
13:03and Bonaventura in the 120 minutes
13:05of the first half.
13:07But even if on that penalty,
13:09it was Gigio Donnarumma's
13:11wonderful flight to prove himself
13:13really decisive.
13:15In the end, it was a matter of rematch.
13:17In the end, Doha's Super Cup
13:19was taken by Milan,
13:21who came back to raise a trophy
13:23five and a half years later
13:25in the Beijing derby.
13:27For Vincenzo Montella,
13:29it was the first coach title
13:31for Silvio Berlusconi,
13:33and it was the triumph of young Milan,
13:35the triumph of Italian Milan.
13:37A cup with a perfect emblem
13:39for the new red-black race.
