The secret of change is Fue Believing in what you do, we waited for the players. This team had to rebuild a base, they couldn’t start over. The speech that was made at the beginning was continued also in the following season and now you can see the results, after 18 months . I did not think that this was necessary for my life, I stayed 9 years away from football but with the idea of ​​not necessarily returning. At the same time, I kept telling myself that if it happened I would enjoy it.

What does it mean to deal with young people?
“It means giving the necessary time to adapt. Those who have not tried it on their skin find it difficult to understand. Not all clubs give the same stress and Milan is a club that takes a lot from you: if one player works a lot in another side does not mean “to say that it also works for Milan”.

How do you live your relationship with Daniel Maldini?
“He still lives at home with us, but in Milanello we said goodbye in a very normal way, as it happened to me with my father. We are calm because football is a democratic sport, he is here because it counts. Many things annoy him, they were the same things that bothered me when my father spoke to me. In the end, the people who are close to you when they tell you things are the ones that hurt you the most “

Maldini in Milan for 65 years
“It’s something special, aside from a long membership, my dad and I have been fortunate to have many successes. I wish Daniel similar successes.”

“I think with my head and this can sometimes wreak havoc.” This is your historical phrase. Does it still apply now?
“When you have had a beautiful and successful life, full of more than satisfying personal relationships, it is normal to achieve independence of thought. I think that the man, with the head, still makes a difference.”

You believed a lot in Pioli
“Pioli has many characteristics as a great coach, there is a very open relationship and we tell each other everything.”

That goal at six seconds from Leao, what do you say?
“It is something practically unrepeatable but if you don’t try it will never happen. Working, working hard when you walk through the Milanello door is a little secret to always carry with you”.

Can you tell us an anecdote about your relationship with Sacchi?
“Even now I remember the nightmares when I came home from physical work and after 30 years he sent me a message apologizing … But it was nothing bad, in fact, if I became a perfectionist it is also thanks to him.” .

How is Ibrahimovic?
“Ibrahimovic faces everything head-on and he was angry because he is close to coming back. But physical problems in the Covid era worry all players, also because we play every 3 days.”

What transfer market will it be?
“It will be a creative transfer market, looking for opportunities. This team has shown that it can be competitive.”

Will a deputy Ibrahimovic arrive?
“We have Ibrahimovic and many alternatives, Rebic, Leao, Colombo and Daniel also played. We have young players that we believe in, we let them play and we are first in the standings.”

What do you want for 2021?
“A return to normalcy. For this team, however, I hope not to stop dreaming. I am very practical and realistic but dreams sometimes allow you to get where you did not think you would go.”
