"Maldini is a beautiful example for Italian football. He is always at his post, he was never carried on a ground. In the whole world, he must be recognized like a truth professionel."
'When I am tired or when I don't fancy training I think about Maldini and Costacurta and that is all I need to rediscover my desire to play football. Paolo has been extremely important for me and my career. He is an example and I have watched him. He doesn't talk that much, it might just be four words in an entire season, but those four words shake you up.'
Andriy Shevchenko นักบอลชาวยูเครนแห่งเอซี มิลาน เจ้าของตำแหน่งดาวซัลโวประจำฤดูกาล 2003/04 ของ Series A
"The player who impressions me the most is without any doubt Paolo Maldini."
Alessandro Nesta ผู้ซึ่งได้ชื่อว่าเป็นทายาทของกัปตันมัลดินี่ ทั้งในทีมชาติ และสโมสร เอซี มิลาน
"To play with Paolo is really easy. I already knew him in italian selection, it is easier to find his reference marks. It is a big player, he helps me to integrate me still more quickly in Milan."
Centre-backs: Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini : As a striker the AC Milan duo are the players that I would hate to have to face in any game. They obviously work brilliantly together and know each other's game inside out. These two players are the best example of exactly what you want in central defence. They don't panic under pressure, they can deal with threats in the air, and are both very strong in the tackle.
Centre-back: Paolo Maldini : His experience and quality still make the AC Milan captain one of the best defenders in the world. I have so much respect for Maldini. ทั้งนี้ ในการจัดทีมของยาป สตัม ยังขอพ่วงให้ตัวเองอยู่ในตำแหน่ง centre-back เคียงข้างมัลดินี่ค่ะ ก็ไม่รู้ว่า เมื่อเค๊ามีโอกาสได้ย้ายมาอยู่ทีมเดียวกับมัลดินี่ตามที่เคยหวังแล้ว จะได้ยืนในตำแหน่งเคียงข้างกันหรือเปล่าค่ะ ^^
Centre-back: Paolo Maldini : He may be nearing the end of his career but you wouldn't know it by the way he is performing. Paolo is probably the greatest defender of his generation and is still one of those players that strikers hate to face.
Centre-back: Paolo Maldini : Maldini is a legend. He has played for so many years at the top and to still be in Serie A and performing well in the Champions League at 35 is an example to all young players.
At the ripe old age of 35, Paolo Maldini's powers might be expected to be on the wane. The reality is quite different, however, as the AC Milan skipper has just enjoyed one of his best seasons for the Rossoneri. Not only did he lead Milan to UEFA Champions League and Coppa Italia glory but the quality of his performances has made him one of the favorites to land the prestigious European Footballer of the Year award.
"I like Milan. I like the city and I like the club. I never wanted to be elsewhere and I have not the desire to move. I hope to stay there for the remainder of my career. And if ever I do not obtain a job of trainer with Milan, then I will join the club of the supporters."
