In the middle of the night, Milan officially announced that Maldini returned to the club as the director of sports strategy development, leaving many people in tears. If you are not a Milan fan, it is difficult to understand this emotion. After 9 years of retiring from Maldini, he finally returned home, and he brought back a lot of youth memories. When the horse team was in existence more than ten years ago, we could always proudly say to others that I am an AC Milan fan – that is the most beautiful look of this team; when Milan is ups and downs more than ten years later, we will still Proudly telling others, I am an AC Milan fan – the darkest time to accompany this team, but also a kind of private happiness.
This is probably something that Maldini’s generation church Rosenner had. In the two days before returning to Milan, he sent an ins state, which was: “Red and black, my life’s love.” At my very small At that time, I still didn’t like Milan. My father told me how much loyal and great a man of this team’s captain, Maldini. The boy is always influenced by his father, even though he was more keen on destroying the city when he was a teenager, but he only admired this heroic figure. At that time, I didn’t know what loyalty was, but I liked Milan, and football grew up with me.
In those years, Maldini was the flag of Milan, the leader, and the one standing to the end. Whether it was the first boy who debuted on January 20, 1985, or the man who said goodbye to the sun in San Siro stadium on May 25, 2009, he made a deep impression on the history of Milan. The No. 3, which witnessed the rise of the Milan dynasty, the No. 3 that accompanied Milan through the trough, the Old Trafford embraced the brilliant No. 3, the lost and reluctant No. 3 in Istanbul, and the Acropolis. On the 3rd, he completed the redemption and revenge, and the No. 3, who was crushed under the body by Bremen’s young man. It is not so much that Maldini is the captain. It is better to say that he is already a red and black totem. It seems that no matter the time of victory or failure, it will be very safe to see the No. 3 back with the captain’s armband. He defended the red and black shirts day after day. He told me the definition of loyalty when many boys need idols most. Your idols are singers, stars, and my idols are him.
Five Champions League titles, seven Serie A titles, five Italian Super Cups, one Italian Cup, four European Super Cups and one World Cup Cup cannot define Maldini. Playing for 902 games in Milan, 419 wearing the captain’s armband can not define Maldini, only time to tell his story. So every time I introduce Milan to people, I always say that this team has retired two numbers, one is Baresi’s No. 6, one is Maldini’s No. 3, and the No. 3 only key It was a man with the same name of Maldini who wore a red and black shirt. Behind these two numbers is probably Milan’s most fascinating trait – loyalty and tenacity. Today, Maldini’s second son, Daniel Maldini, also put on the shirt of the Milan youth team, the father of the father, to death.
The season when the team retired, Milan was eliminated by Bremen in the UEFA Cup, and the sunset will eventually be replaced by the morning glow, so a dynasty gradually left behind. After the team retired, Milan only won one Serie A title in 2011, and once in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2012, and the last time in 2014 to the Champions League. Once the master of the king, dissipated the appearance of Fenghua Zhengmao.
After the horse team, we watched Ambrosini fight like a man, but failed to surrender the vicissitudes of life; we looked at Montolivo and insisted that it just became powerless; we looked at Bonucci with Passion and hope come, and then leave with the shadow of breaking the tradition… We looked at the chaos and confusion of the final chapter of the Bayesian dynasty, and spent the hope and disappointment of Chinese Milan. Once upon a time, the red and black wind bones became the blood of mercenaries who bought and bought, and people had to recognize the fact that Milan is already a second-rate in Europe.
(In these years, Milan fans seem to be living only in their feelings)
But on the day of the return of the horse team, our youthful memories seem to have been recovered. The horse team has brought us more than just feelings, and there are some prospects worth looking forward to. During the Galliani period, he was decisive. Then Milan experienced the ups and downs of the late Bayesian dynasty. He was hesitant in the Chinese capital era, and all the beautiful visions that Milan had had became fantasy. After the team retired, Milan fans more than once expected him to return as a spiritual totem, it feels like “Anhe Bridge” sang: You go home, I am waiting for you.
There is no doubt that the team is mature and calm, and Elliot chose to return when he took over Milan. This subtle information is worth pondering. In October 2016, he wrote a long letter in which he wrote: “Milan is always a matter of sincerity and passion for me. The story of me, my father and my children confirms this. One point, no one can erase this layer of red and black relations.” In the past, the rumors about the horse team’s “low salary and low occupation” are purely nonsense. A person can’t bear to look at things he loves. Sad, the horse team’s love for Milan is beyond doubt.
From this perspective, the return of the horse team reflects a positive signal, Milan President Scarponi said: “I can’t describe what Paul Maldini meant for Milan in words. I was lucky enough to see him as a player in the past. The stadium has won countless trophies for the club. Now, I am very excited and happy to work with him in a new identity. Paul Maldini’s leadership, experience, passion and vitality can bring great help to the club. Elio He has promised to establish a long-term plan for the team and lay a strong and solid foundation. This appointment is an important symbol of Elliot’s fulfillment of this commitment. This process is not easy, it takes some time, but we have greatness. The goal and ambition, Paul’s return is an important step in Milan’s return to glory.”
Some things can be bought, but faith and spirit are the result of precipitation. For the Milan fans, the return of the horse team is even greater than the 200 million euros in the transfer market last summer, which can be reflected from the full-screen microblogging draw of Milan fans. Although this symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, isn’t football like this? Players can transfer, bosses can change hands, but fans will wait for their faith for a lifetime. Those laughter, lost, lost, and determined time seem to have been retrieved at this moment. The definition of loyalty is to find a lifetime of love, and then began to leave, as Maldini did.
When Milan Serie A won the championship in 2011, we had hoped that this was the beginning of the revival of the dynasty. When Laobei invested 80 million euros in 2015, we are eager to gradually get out of the trough. In 2017, when we were Chinese, we had a passion. Still vivid. Many times in the past, Milan fans were full of hope, and eventually fell to the ground, but no matter how much darkness they experienced, they should not give up their good yearning, right? Think about it, when the management team has the meritorious captain Maldini, the coach is Gattuso is roaring, Leonardo, who bears love and hate, is strategizing in the position of sports director, Milan is managed by Milanese. It is the Milan we are familiar with, no matter where the prospect of this team goes, it is Milan.
“When I was nine years old, I started to be a caddy for Milan. I still remember that in San Siro, in a Milan game, when Milan scored a goal, a nine-year-old boy behind the goal, his heart. In the fierce beating, the excited scene and the ecstatic feeling make him unforgettable forever. This little boy is me.” I love you, some are not just the promise of a lifetime. I love you, but it has also solidified the return of my three generations. At this moment, you choose to be accompanied by more than Milan, and our youth with laughter and tears.
