Only 3 more years then for another Maldini.
I'll bring a camera on Sunday, and try to post some pics when I'm back online.

WE will win this game against Roma, then on Monday, De Rossi will come out and say he is signing with Milan. Then on Tuesday, Santacroce will sign for us too. Then Lucio will come also. By next weekend, Seedorf, and Kaladze will be leaving Milan for Chelsea with Carlo. Sheva and Senderous will head back to their club and Gourcuff will come back.
That will be awesome. |

Don't take such big preassure on Christian. He's youngster now. For him it would be better to not have "Maldini" surename, because he can't avoid comparing him to Paolo.

I was merely just asking as I genuinely don't know how good he's meant to be. He's very young too, so part of me doesn't care at this point.

He's just a kid... not even a teenager... I'm sure they put a lot of thought in not exposing him... no mention of him at all, just listed in the youth team as any other kid...
there are sons of other famous players there... Remember Davide Ancelotti was in the primavera teams a few years ago... there's a Christian Galliani playing defense alongside C. Maldini...

About Maldini...it's amazing he was playing football before I was even born. There has never been a Milan without Maldini for me so it will be extremely strange to see the squad next season. You know there are some players you can just watch their style of play and learn tonnes about how to play the game. Like Federer or Agassi in tennis, that's how I feel about Maldini. Maldini makes defending look so effortless, so classy. One of the few defenders who actually make defending look exciting, like an art.
We're losing a lot more than Maldini the player. We're losing Maldini the man as well. The face of Milan as Leonardo put it. You know you're really great when even your biggest rivals have immense respect for you. We'll be losing a great leader and captain but all things must come to an end. It will be difficult but we need to bounce back after this loss to continue the greatness that Maldini has brought to Milan. |

He has been part of one of the most difficult leagues in the world (on and off the pitch), and captain of teams that are always under a lot of pressure (Milan and Italy NT) and I think something that really speaks well about him is that,
no one has anything bad to say about him...not one thing, not one time... and he got how many red cards in his carreer? 4-5?

As for his dad, I believe he's had three red cards in his career, though I'm not sure. He's had just 1 since 1999. |

Last red I can remember for Paolo was against Lazio in 94-95 season. Long time for any player, never mind a defender. These overpaid media fools of today's generation could learn so much from Paolo, but never will due to stupidity,

The club will be giving a free scarf and panini album all dedicated to Paolo to every fan at San Siro. That'll be stored away safely.
