The former technical director of Milan, Paolo Maldini he spoke again after a long silence, telling a background story about the market linked to Leo Messi. Guest of Giacomo Porettihistoric member of the comic trio Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo who is at the theater with his PoretCast, the flag and former Rossoneri manager revealed the most sensational behind the scenes story about the Argentine Pulce and also went unbalanced on the fight scudetto. Here are his words reported by MilanPress
MESSI – “For ten days we tried to bring Messi to Milan, but then we realized that it was impossible. Now it’s late, but a footballer like Messi is a spectacle for everyone. When I read that he could go to Inter I was scared.”
SHIELD – “Who wins the scudetto between Milan, Inter and Juve? Congratulations Giacomo (well-known Nerazzurri fan, ed.), you’ve already won…”
AC MILAN – “It’s difficult for a player to start and finish in the same team. In my time there was no fashion for going abroad. I was lucky enough to find a team and a President Berlusconi who had the same goals as me.”
THE BEGINNINGS – “I started in the gardens, in the southern area of Milan, I went to the Leonardo Da Vinci school, then the Pio . They asked me what role I had and I replied: “What free role is there?”. In fact I started as a right winger, then at 14 years old as a defender. Mister Braga made me sign, in his report it was written that I never sat still”.
PRESSURE – ” “I started with Baresi and Bergomi and ended with Pato and Pirlo. I have experienced several generations of footballers. The generations have not changed but the pressure has changed – for the worse. Social media creates many expectations for him. Families often create expectations too. In the family they see you as the rough diamond and they expect a lot from you and maybe sometimes the boy is not able or unable to handle the pressure 100%. Football is a team sport, there are kids of various ethnicities, you don’t have to think only about yourself but about the good of the team. Sometimes you have to work just for your partner because it’s not a good day for him. The kids aren’t always aware of the power they have over the fans.”
DERBY E NOSTALGIA – “I started playing quite young, when you get to the dressing room you realize how you are, whether well or not, it’s all a question of tension. We also had derbies in the Champions League, do you remember? (laughs ed.) In that case the tension was at its highest levels. Then later when you are of a certain age you just wait for that match. When they ask me what I miss, I answer the environment of the locker room and that mixture of fear and emotion before the match, the contact and adrenaline of the people. 80 thousand people is a lot. I’m the one who has done the most derbies of all.”
MALDINI MANAGER – “There’s a huge difference. In one you ‘suffer’ the result and in the other you ‘determine’ it. I was in a lot of pain and agitated. Ricky Massara on the other hand suffered but in silence. I will never be a coach. I saw my dad who always had his suitcase ready. Then maybe you meet some President who’s a bit like that… I didn’t feel like it. When I stopped I knew what I didn’t want to do.”
LION – “Rafa is a great talent, regardless of whether he is a footballer, a model or a singer, he has something important. He asked me to release the puck two days before the match, I told him it wasn’t a problem but he should have scored two goals on Saturday, he didn’t score but he made an assist (laughs ed.). The best thing about these years is precisely the personal relationships, he arrived from Lille, he was a great talent but he still had to prove himself. The relationship you create with them is the best thing you have left, more than the trophies and matches won. They are always personal relationships, you make yourself available to train these kids.”
THE HEAVIEST DEFEAT – : “When you lose a World Cup final or a semi-final against Maradona it’s not easy, even with Milan in Istanbul, I scored after 40 seconds. After the goal I thought: “Strange evening, to score in the Champions League final after 40 seconds…”.
