Paolo Maldini time to say goodbye






Maldini names successor
2009 -05-07

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan captain Paolo Maldini has named Thiago Silva as the man to succeed him once he retires at the end of this season.

The legendary 40-year-old is in his 25th season with the Rossoneri and has made 641 appearances for the club.

“Thiago Silva can do great things,” Maldini told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “But he needs an expert by his side.

“I have told Adriano Galliani, Thiago has to have Giuseppe Favalli close to him so that he can grow.

“Thiago Silva has everything it takes to succeed. He jumps like a cricket. He's quick and has personality.”

When asked if he could be the expert playing along side Thiago, Maldini replied: “Yes, I am well. The pain is under control and the performances I make on the pitch are good.

“A little time ago, I saw Dr Martens. He smiled at me and crossed his fingers. I am going through the final phase of my career in a very happy way.

“I am preparing to say goodbye without any regrets in 25 years of football. It will be another life I know it. I will have different rhythms. I will miss the smell of hard work.”

Maldini believes Milan have done well in his final season as a professional and thinks the Rossoneri need just a couple of retouches to become future champions.

“We have recorded 15 points more than last season. Milan have the best attack and the second best defence. It doesn't seem to me to be a team to throw away.

“With two or three signings of a high level Milan can compete with anyone in Italy and in Europe,” Maldini explained. “Our strength has always been a mix of youth and experience.

“You say that our defence is old when the old defenders concede goals, but you don't seem to remember that now we concede fewer goals and it's Favalli and I at the back.

“The truth is that the career of a player is getting longer. In the `70s and `80s clubs only gave one-year rolling contracts to 30-year-old players.

“Now, they don't and Milan has been at the forefront even in this field,” Maldini added, before revealing his last game will not be a testimonial for Italy.

Maldini retired from international football after the 2002 World Cup, but the Azzurri would reportedly like to honour him with one final cap.

“No, even if I want to once again thank the FIGC, who have shown themselves willing. I would prefer to leave football with an official game, and then again I don't like the games of goodbye.”
