Maldini Monday
By: Gianfranco | December 31st, 2007Last week we spent a bit of time talking about a full length feature film chronicling the life of Il Capitano. The film is called Paolo Maldini Il Film and it is one of the greatest two hours of calico footage I have ever seen. It takes you through Maldini’s career both internationally and domestic, through the many highs and the few lows. It does all that with a phenomenal soundtrack, player interviews, a whole second disk devoted to Maldini’s playing style and interviews with such players as: Zidane, Gattuso, Ronaldo, Figo, and many more. At one point Zidane even says that there is no one better that he has every played against and preferred the left side of the attack if Maldini was on the pitch.
Below you will find the final five minutes of the movie, it starts off with a quote,
“If as a child I began to write a story, the most beautiful story you can ever imagine, I would have wrote just the way it has happened.” Paolo Maldini
The video then leads into a great track and all of his accomplishments. Please enjoy the video as well as a safe and happy New Year!
As always your Maldini memories are welcome and will be posted every Monday now until the retirement of Il Capitano.

ill post the whole movie some time next week, as soon as i get back to Toronto.
my Maldini contribution this season was to get all 3 Milan jersey’s with Maldini on the back, but Milan Store only sent the home and third and now i dont have any money for the away =(. But for probably a long long looong period i will get a Maldini jersey every season.
it really makes me sad when i just think about the idea of him retiring. ever since i was a kid my eyes were on him, he was my first favorite player/idol and still is and will always be.
MALDINI IS MY GOD!!!!!!!

i know how you feel fetyani… the wierd thing is, that most kids outgrow the whole idol thing, because sometime while they were young their idols finally did hang up their boots… we havent had a chance to grow out of it and now that its finally time, its a lot harder for us because we have been watchin him for a lot, lot longer…
ps. off-topic, but what are you doin in saudi arabia of all places..

I was really confused for a while because I thought you (Fetyani) were in italy then going back to Toronto and here it says Saudi Arabia I was like huh?
Your right K even though Maldini mondays make me sad because knowing that he actually human and going to be gone in a few months it also makes me happy.

Well, I found the Maldini movie on BigSoccer.com (with subtitles no less) and it was just absolutely amazing. It doesnt matter which team you support, you cannot watch him play without being awed. I wonder, though, if a story like his could happen again. The young players today just seem so jaded and mercenary. Is there room in the modern football world with its multi-gazillion dollar deals for the kind of steadfast, down-to-earth, loyal, self-sacrificing player Maldini was and is? Boy, I sure hope so. I hope he takes up coaching next. I think he is an irreplaceable personality in Serie A (and this is from an Inter fan!).
