Football, this wonderful sport, carries countless legends and glorious moments. And in the history of football, there is a defender whose name will forever shine on the top of the legend - Maldini.
His football career lasted 24 years, sticking to the Italian national team and AC Milan, becoming a legend among legends. Looking back at the Maldini family's illustrious journey in AC Milan's backline, Maldini Sr. was the standout defender in Italy at the time, defending the team's honor for decades.
In Maldini's generation, he inherited his father's tradition of excellence and played to the extreme of left-back. Maldini is not only physically strong, but also possesses excellent anticipation, superb technique and a strong sense of defense.
Maldini's confrontation with countless super strikers has become legendary, and Lao Ma, Baggio, Romario, Barty, Vieri, Henry, Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo have all tasted the bitter fruits of defeat in front of him.
However, the most memorable confrontation was his clash with two football superstars.
The first is Maradona, the king of football, whose technique tends to perfection, which makes the defenders feel helpless. In Serie A at that time, even super defenders such as Maldini and Baresi could not do anything about Maradona. Years later, when Marado was inducted into the Serie A Hall of Fame, Maldini even apologized for the brutal foul he had committed on Maradona that year.
The second place is Da Luo, one in AC Milan and one in Inter Milan, and every meeting is full of sparks. The strongest offensive and defensive battle, the battle between spear and shield, football of this intensity is almost impossible to see today.
Although Maldini was one of the top defenders at the time, Maldini sometimes got into embarrassment against a football talent like Da Luo. Da Luo's excellent footwork gave Maldini a headache.
When it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, although he is undoubtedly very good, he is also an excellent goalscorer. However, compared to Maradona and Da Luo, he is still slightly inadequate. In terms of the talent of the players, Maradona and Da Rowe are undoubtedly at a higher level. Ronaldo's strength lies in his hard work and persistence. Maldini is still able to face Cristiano Ronaldo alone at almost 40 years old, and that says it all.
It is worth mentioning that at the age of 49 after retiring, Maldini even won the lower league championship with his tennis coach, and officially entered professional tennis, which is a living fossil of sports.
Maldini's legend, with players such as Maradona, Da Luo and Ronaldo, constitutes a glorious chapter in football. These memories are not only precious memories of post-80s fans, but also inspire the younger generation to love and pursue football. We can proudly say that being born in an era when Maldini was living side by side with these superstars is a precious gift of football that will surely inspire more people to continue to love this wonderful sport.
