He spoke to the microphones of Radio 105, Paolo Maldini, Milan manager, spoke about the current situation of the Rossoneri: “We have the team that is reduced to 4/5 players available, but I will never say not to think about the national team. It is a goal for a young player who plays football.”
On going to Milanello as a manager: “It’s a special place, and it remains special. I’m lucky enough to be able to go to work places, and one of them is outdoors. I went there as a child with my dad and it was the scene of little things they have made this club great. Not much has changed, we are modernizing it now, but honestly that feeling of calm and peace is still there. “
On Milan again at the top: “As in all magic there is a secret, which we will never discover. There is a lot of work behind it and there is an idea of play and ownership, with an economically sustainable and if possible self-financing team. The Coronavirus? He didn’t help us. Beyond that, I always do things with the Milanista mentality: that is to give entertainment and joy to the fans. “
On its importance: “I carry a lot of history and respect with me. Now I have to earn another kind of respect, but always related to sport and Milan.”
On being a manager: “I’m passionate about it. Considering the player as a worker is difficult. But even as a manager you share in the joys and sufferings of the team. The integration is not easy, it takes time and unfortunately we live in a frenetic society. I have never been afraid but to try “.

On this year’s championship: “The results are more open, even with completely different numbers. The absence of the public definitely determines something. Some say we are there thanks to the absence, but I’m sure they would have given us more strength right now. Not having the public However, it remains a terrible thing. The emotions are connected to the fans. Like, for example, with the 90 thousand in Barcelona or the 80 thousand in San Siro. I lack the tension, which the audience gives you above all “
His Ibrahimovic: “As a player I met him with different teams and I marked him as a central player. Now, for me, he has become bigger, also because I didn’t struggle as much as with Adriano to move him.”
