The #AC #Milan legend, Paolo Maldini, responded promptly, but calmly, to #the recent statements of #the Rossoneri #president Paolo Scaroni, who had called him into question.
The season that is about to end has been good for #Milan who at #the moment, despite having exited #the Champions League prematurely, are in second place in Serie A.
However, #the defeat suffered in #the derby on Monday evening, which handed #the Scudetto to #the Nerazzurri cousins early, left a little bitter taste in #the mouths of #the Rossoneri.
So, when to #the #president Paolo Scaronion #the occasion of an event, was asked to Paolo Maldini, revealed that he had not heard from #the former captain since he left #the club. But then he broadened #the breadth of his response.
Scaroni: #«Maldini doesn’t #live #the #present well»
In fact, he hinted that Maldini might be bitter about #the end of his time at #Milan saying: «I haven’t heard it. When someone looks at #the past with bitterness, it means that they are not living #the #present well. I hope this is not #the case for Maldini and I wish him a life full of satisfaction.”
The man who has #the record for appearances in Serie A, 647 all played with #the Rossoneri shirt, immediately responded to #the provocation through #the «Corriere della Sera», explaining succinctly that he only sees his past in a positive way.
“If I look at my past, I can’t stop smiling,” Maldini said.
9 months ago #the “historic” resignation
It is worth remembering that Maldini and Massara they both left – amidst various controversies – #the Milanese club in #the summer of 2023.
“He sat in #the front row for #the scudetto, but I often saw him leave #the stadium early when things weren’t going well,” #the former captain said, referring to #the president.
Contract negotiations have dragged on for a long time and there have been rumors of disagreements between #the two sporting directors and #the RedBird Capital Group owners regarding how #the transfer window will be managed.
With #the departure of Sandro Tonali – gone to Newcastle -, two of #the main fan favorites left #the club, and #the mood was low.
The summer purchases of Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have partially mitigated #the losses. Maldini, however, does not seem to hold any grudges.
