Speaking to SportWeek of La Gazzetta dello Sport, ex director Zvonimir Boban said these words about Paolo Maldini:
"I was very excited for Daniel Maldini's goal. We would all have rejoiced like Paolo. No one like the Maldini family represents the history of Milan. Luckily Paolo has remained in the club. He has grown up. a lot, now he is a high-level manager. He is necessary, among so many administrators, marketing men, experts in numbers and people who do not like football and understand little about Milan."
Boban continued:
" Gigio is a phenomenon that can enter the history of football.But, I can't justify his departure."
On AC Milan:
"I am in dispute with Elliott. But with Milan, I will never be able to be in dispute. I support Milan more than before and I am happy to see that the players we have chosen have embarked on an important path. The story that Milan is experiencing is the product of Ibra's arrival. Its impact was devastating. It is a phenomenon. On or off the pitch, his presence is essential. Tonali is also phenomenal. If Milan have more control of matches today, it is above all thanks to him."
Boban's opinion about the Super League:
"I live in Nyon, I try to protect football, sometimes even from ourselves: the different rhythms, the choices made in the glass buildings, the many hours of meetings can easily make you lose your soul. The football crisis? It is caused by the pandemic. But above all, presidents and managers of companies who have been unable to control the accounts and favour the combination of competitive teams", delcared Boban, "The Super League was a shameful attempt, stopped by the people even before the institutions. These billionaires hurt their club accounts. They wanted everything for themselves, to erase the values and to Americanise this sport."
