Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has directly stated in an interview that he believes AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is a financial investor rather than a true entrepreneur.

Speaking to Il Tempo about Cardinale, De Laurentiis said: "Three years ago, I invited Cardinale to dinner, and he said something to me that I found so unreasonable I would have asked him to leave if I had objected. What he said made no sense to me at all. He is an owner with the mentality of a financial investor, not a true entrepreneur. An entrepreneur has a philosophy that not everyone follows. Cardinale and his fund invest money to generate returns for investors: if no profit is made after a certain period, what's the point? There is none."

On his own success, De Laurentiis added: "The film industry is very complex; you must integrate production factors through a specific framework. It's an intangible asset, an intellectual product created through an industrial process. If we could be so successful in the Italian film industry, which has always struggled, then what about football? I am fully committed to it. In 22 years, I've won two Serie A titles and five cup trophies, restored passion, and the team has competed in European competitions year after year... That's all remarkable. I also experienced Calciopoli but succeeded without ever cheating, which is very important to me."
