Del Piero hails legend Maldini

Saturday 23 May, 2009

As Paolo Maldini prepares to retire, Alessandro Del Piero gives him the ultimate compliment. “He is greater than Franco Baresi.”

The Milan legend will hang up his boots at the end of the season and Sunday’s game with Roma will be his last at San Siro.

Tributes to his career are pouring in and Juventus star Del Piero joined the chorus by phoning in as Maldini was interviewed on Milan Channel.

“You are the number one! There are great players and there are world class players. Then there are those who manage to go beyond that term. Paolo is the perfect example.”

Del Piero pushed the boat out with the ultimate compliment for a player in the Rossoneri jersey.

“Maldini is the symbol of Milan and has done even more than Baresi and all the other greats who preceded him.

“He has reached incredible heights in his career and at the same time managed to become a unique presence in his team, in Italian football and on the international stage.”

He is right, as always.

About Esoesgallo compilations, they are the sickest indeed, I've subscribed to them on youtube. Best thing I've ever done :D

PS The "Lost Cause" is worth the effort to see it.

He started playing for the NT at the age of 19 and set a new record there. Too bad he didn't win any major competitions with the Azzurri.
