Maldini, in an interview with Bein Sport was asked the following question:
Which player impressed you the most?
"Marcel was a special partner, I remember the first day without a precise role, the coach said: what do we do with him? full-back, central? We told him to play in front of the defense and there he showed a sort of 'driving', an incredible ability to cover a simplicity that we needed at the time. with Jean Pierre Papin who did not have the success he had in France at home but it was two strongest players of my time."
