There is nothing untimely in Paolo Maldini’s interview with Republic, indeed he chose the right moment, which couldn’t have been more right. Good boy. And good at choosing Enrico Currò to confide in, a true journalist, a thoroughbred reporter like few now, just as there are few who in recent years have tried to tell a truth about Milan that goes beyond the chats and the showgirls and the training trips to Milanello, and if you allow us, we also immodestly include ourselves among these.
Maldini a Republic he didn’t tell the story your truth, he told the truth and that was it. He recalled that in June 2022, after the scudetto, his contract was only renewed because it would have been unpopular to kick him out at the time. He was wrong there, not to leave, and we have said and written it many times. Except that Paolo liked that role and he was doing well, as in all the things he did in life. He stumbled in the last market, CDK betrayed him, and it was the excuse to take him out a year late (and without warning). But Leao, Maignan, Theo, Tonali himself? First with Boban and then alone he created value for Milan, bringing them back to the top by spending half the cost, halving the costs. Elliott imposed economic parameters, the technical choices were his (they)’s.
There is no need to comment on the words about Scaroni, if he left the stadium early to avoid traffic he must have had his reasons, perhaps he had a confused memory of what Boniperti did at the Comunale stadium in Turin or perhaps Scaroni more probably doesn’t even know who Boniperti was. After all, he is a man of business and politics and not of football. Like Furlani he is a man of accounts. Cardinale, on the other hand, is all these things together and now manages Milan, bought also thanks to the money of whoever sold it to him. We’ll see what will happen if and when the stadium project starts. For now we are still just words.
And to say that today, Maldini could only be of use to this management that is anything but football. A perfect alibi, because he made the team, unassailable due to his history and loyalty to the flag. Him with their money. And instead they took him out, because evidently in addition to the rest they are also a bit presumptuous: they tripled the expenses, to create a team that has worsened in the hands of Pioli and his collaborators. And now they are forced in the frantic pursuit of the Ibrahimovic totem, for a role that is unknown what it is, in times and ways that leave it up to him to decide. Even ridiculous, to be generous.
The most incredible thing, in the sense that it is hard to believe that there is someone who thinks this, it is the comparison of Maldini’s dismissal to that of Gianni Rivera in 1986. The story of the new Milan started there, what here? Moreover, Maldini who said it and Currò who wrote it, remembered it with elegance, in an unforgettable interview, the first and so far only one in Italy, Cardinal defined himself as Berlusconi 2.0 and someone believed him, or rather probably still believes him.
There is nothing untimely in the interview with Repubblica, because it is right that these things are said now, when feedback is easier, when everyone can understand how much history has been mistreated, how much the present is proof of errors. Maldini is more of a Milanist than all the current management put together, including the CEO who punches the Marassi plexiglass to celebrate, to look at least a little like Galliani. The video is online, for those who have never seen it. How sad.
