The club technical director of AC Milan, Paolo Maldini, granted an interesting interview to Sette:
"New stadium? I believe and hope that this can be the case. My father played in the San Siro, I played there, my son plays in it too. It was my home. If we put it on memories, who more than me could feel hurt by such a change? San Siro is a piece of Milan's history... We need to think about this. If we want Milan and Inter to return to the top levels of European football, writing beautiful pages like those of San Siro, we can only have a new stadium. There are no alternatives. This is not an opinion, it is a certainty. I don't want to erase a wonderful past. I just like to look ahead. It's a bit of the idea of my life."
On the return to Milan:
"In the beginning, every evening I went home and told my wife that it was a disaster. I kept repeating to Leonardo, that he had wanted me with him, that I felt useless. I did not understand the administrative part of the work, I was wondering what I was doing there. I have to feel like a protagonist. What did I say to Leonardo when he decided to go to PSG? 'What the f*** are you saying Leo?' was my answer. With my eyes hanging out. I felt lost. But honestly , immediately afterwards I also had the feeling of being at ease for the first time. I was back in a situation where I had no one to shield me. What I have always been looking for. I am very grateful to Leonardo, the apprenticeship with him was fundamental. We talk often."
Maldini added:
"How do I see myself in 10 years? With white hair, I hope happy. As for this job, either I do it with Milan or I don't. Maybe abroad, but honestly I should think about it. I'm happy to have had this opportunity. Because I know that if I hadn't, I would always have had the regret of not having tried. Also for this reason, the future does not scare me."
