milanhime夜未眠

 2008年10月27日,

米蘭眾星雲集,今夜沒有德比

Paolo隊長的家人---爸爸Cesare,夫人Adriana,
還有副會長,前教練,前隊友等人,通通都到

只因為Paolo是今年Facchetti獎的得主.

偉大的義大利左後衛 --- 從Facchetti 到 Paolo Maldini


米蘭城的兩大巨頭通通與會共襄盛舉
由Facchetti的兒子致詞頒發,
只因米蘭至今還保有球場上活生生的傳奇

這賽季"好不容易"才跟球會續約(*球迷對米蘭那時的態度蠻有怨念的!),
沒有人能想到---40歲高齡卻仍成為球隊後防的倚靠


Paolo Maldini

(請自行到米蘭體育報看頒獎....只是...48分鐘,未免太長了吧,不過裏頭有段介紹隊長出來的小短片很值得看)

這一天是他的大日子

球迷很高興,看到如此歡喜的隊長

(手邊有事在忙,等有空再來好好補內容,先貼圖就是了)

Maldini Wins Facchetti Award

Milan legend Paolo Maldini has won the Facchetti Award, for his fairness and ability to be an example to others on the playing field. 

    Paolo Maldini is one of the few remaining true legends of the game. He has made a stunning 624 appearances for the Milanese club, and scored 29 goals over his time.

The award is held in the honour of the former Inter Milan great Giacinto Facchetti, who sadly lost his battle with cancer at the age of just 64, two years ago.

Facchetti was a great of the game, who went on to win four Scudetti and two European cups with the Nerazzurri. He also managed to make 94 appearances for the Italian national team over a 14 year period that included success in the EURO of 1968, and a loss in the World Cup final of 1970.

According to Facchetti’s son Gianfelice, who presented the award on the night, “Maldini is a fair player on the field and has always been an example to others.”

Maldini received the Facchetti Award and a check of €10,000 to be devoted to charity by Inter president Massimo Moratti and Gianfelice, who was one of three sons of Giacinto present at the ceremony.

Maldini enjoys Facchetti honour

 
Milan captain Paolo Maldini has spoken of his pride at receiving the Premio Giacinto Facchetti.

The honour, which is named after Inter legend Facchetti who passed away in 2006, is awarded to a player who embodies the spirit of football.

The third edition of the Premio Facchetti has been given to Maldini during the final season of a magnificent career.

“It means so much to receive the award because my career is similar to Facchetti's,” the 40-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He was an Inter talisman and I have spent my whole life at Milan and we have similar stories for La Nazionale.

“I liked Giacinto's calm approach and I remember that Arrigo Sacchi always used to talk about the way he was on the pitch.

“Facchetti was also the first attacking wing-back to interpret the role in a modern way.”

Despite the successes of his career, Maldini has maintained his reputation as a gentleman off the pitch.

“How football affects you depends on the education you receive,” the Rossoneri legend explained.

“For example, it's hard to always give sincere interviews, but if like me you talk very little you can say more intelligent things and be less rash.

“Football has changed during my career, but I think it is still full of positive things and passion that overcomes everything else,” he concluded.
