“I loved it National and I had seen the ’78 World Cup in which, essentially, theItaly it was there Juventus. I fell in love with that story. I followed Juventus as if it were the national team, but in ’78 I did the trial at Milan and things went back to how they should have been.”. Paul Maldini was the protagonist of a long interview on Radio Serie A. The former director of the technical area of Milan he spoke again almost a year after his farewell to the club of which he was the flag and captain.
Maldini, Milan and Milanism
Maldini explained: “My present? I’m living it well, after five intense years. I’m experiencing it like after my retirement, before I started the adventure with the Milan as a manager. Gratitude towards Milan? I will always be grateful to Milan and the people I met there. Even in my last experience I didn’t finish learning. When you see football from the other side, you see everything differently.”.
“What wouldn’t I do again? I would delete the things I said as a footballer, vision is limited. I don’t know if I am a guardian of Milanism but football and Milan in particular have taught me the principles. It’s something that goes beyond the result, it’s more important. When we talk about a history spanning over a century, it must be studied and learned. I go to the stadium? No, it’s logical. I follow Milan and Monza”.
