His eyes maybe focused on Milan's match against Lille, but Paolo Maldini's mind is on one of his iconic adversaries Diego Armando Maradona:"A part of dhildhood and of our passion disappeared, it's hard to digest for those who love football- Milan's technical director told Sky Sport- the firiendly match that Diego played at Acerra is emblematic on a terrible pitch, with just mud. Images that should be showed to all modern players that complain about bad pitches"
Maldini went on:"He was an incredible opponent, considering him an enemy for those who lose football on hard. You could beat him up as much as you wanted and he didn't easy, he was exemplary. Then everyone has an opinion on Maradona, the fact that he was controversial figure. He always has been, but for those who love sports he was an icon forever"
