Maldini: “Milan will fight to the end. Liao? We wanted to finish with the World Cup, but…”

Paolo Maldini, Dubai laureate at the Globe Soccer Awards 2022, said he was “honored” on stage as he was presented with an award – “Best Sports Director” – alongside the inseparable Frederic Massara. Then the Rossoneri manager, on the sidelines of the ceremony, spoke into Sky’s microphones. And also about Liao’s question, in short: “Renewal of Rafa? We wanted to close before the World Cup, but it was not possible.”

Then, for the time being, a reflection on the Rossoneri’s chances of proving themselves as champions of Italy: “Milan-Napoli’s challenge for the Scudetto? I remember very well the years when it was great for Italian football… We are two-time world champions, they are with Maradona for us, it was the beginning of 25 years.” Of success. Napoli today puts all the others in the shadows: we are only -2 compared to last season but we are -8 of them, so we have a lot of merit. Everything is in the hands of Napoli, who have this advantage. But the championship is long, and we will fight to the end.”
