Hereunder the declarations of Paolo Maldini during the press conference which was held today at San Siro.
MILAN – “The last match in Florence was nice to reach the third place and from a personal level, what happened at the Franchi was an honour to have received the affection from the fans and from my team-mates.
“I am and will always remain a Rossonero fan, sincerely this is an huge chance. Kaka is the first player of a certain level to be sold, in the past such an idea was never taken into consideration. He’s one of the five best players in the world, just like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. This decision was taken badly by my team-mates and the fans. 
“Looking at the accounts is logical, but it’s also logical to fix reachable objectives, thinking of winning the Champions League without Kaka is a utopian objective. There is an important change, but I have the hope that this team remains always at the top. The difficulties of the transfer market are in choosing the players who allow you to make the quality jump, the purchasing power of Italian football changed, and the teams who have the strong players are holding on to them. As a player, when Baresi quit, I felt almost lost, I was missing a morale and physical support, I was seeing a black future, but then the club worked well and everything started again. We had many farewells and this team always started again greatly with bigger objectives. Milan’s story goes on. The investments of the Italian teams are not the same as the English or Spanish ones, we have teams who play well at football and to survive they must look at the balance and less at the game. Milan had success because to win n Europe you don’t need to be physically strong, but you must impose the game.
“Ronaldinho will have many responsibilities for next season, last year he was not the real leader and this responsibility can do him well. I don’t know the market strategies of Milan. Our team with two or three retouches could have been great, losing Kaka we must aim on other players and we must see what team will be set for July 6 at Milanello and put in the hands of Leonardo. Even he will have to test himself, it’s a bet and Milan won them in the past, the hope is that even this time it can reach a good result.
“I believe the enthusiasm is fundamental to arrive to certain results, I don’t think that the Milan transfer market is over, it has just started. Pirlo? I think it’s too early to consider him a player of a certain age since he’s only 30 years old, I don’t know the details and I don’t know the club’s thought, I think that before leaving Milan he will think about it not 10 times, but at least 100 times. I don’t think that there is a soap opera like with Kaka for Pato, he’s 19-years-old, has an extraordinary talent and so Pato must remain here.
“It’s important to have a Youth Sector with a club’s line to pull out important players. There will be Filippo Galli who I consider a capable person. We started late but the results will be seen in three or five years.
“I don’t know who will be the Milan captain, the idea could have been that it was Ambrosini due to the rules we have always given ourselves, but the choice could also be taken by the coach. Everything will depend from the management of Leonardo, I don’t see it as a big problem.
“Berlusconi said some things which I agree with regards to what happened on Sunday during Milan-Roma. The club is not identifiable in just one person, Milan are the fans, the players and the directors. Berlusconi’s words put me at ease. He said things I would have liked to hear after the Roma game. With regards to the response announcement of Galliani, maybe he took it personally, but I didn’t want to put it personally. Guardiola’s gesture after the final in Rome was very nice: him winning the Champions League and a minute later he thinks about me…no I will not go to Barcelona, even though the thing pleased me a lot. The dedication arrived even though I only spoke to Guardiola two or three times as an opponent because some game, I'm not his friend, therefore it was all dictated by the sentiment and the heart. Barcelona arrived in Italy on Monday, they saw what happened the previous Sunday at San Siro and there were shocked. Milan-Roma and the banners? I felt bad at first, but going back home, after 200 people came to celebrate me, what remained mostly in my head was the full stadium with all those scarves exposed to the sky for me. It was a confirmation of the fact that what I had I deserve it on the pitch and I never asked for anything to anyone, despite having an important surname. What has been said about my name when I was a small kid hurt me, but it helped me to grow. I don’t think that Berlusconi has any intention to sell, I think that he will continue. In the past there have been moments of refounding with many players who stop, there have been minor objectives before always returning to great targets.
“My future? It’s the management of my family life, I did not make any commitments with anyone, I received some offers from my historical sponsors. From Milan nothing, but there’s time, it doesn’t mean that a great player can be a great director, but I know this environment well. I wouldn’t like to put just my face, the youth sector was offered to me, but it's not my aspiration and I think that they must be people who have a certain experience and I don't have.
“I’m serene and happy to have fulfilled myself in the profession I love and as a person. I’m prudent on the future, even though there’s a small question mark right now. I never thought about changing shirt during my career due to my faithfulness to these colours, and this for a young player like Santon could be a very nice story. The players at times are forced to leave. I think that I will realize this when the teams will be during their training camp in mid-July. If I had listened to my children, I should have gone forward for five or six more years. They were very attached to Ricky for his technical qualities and he has a strange effect on the children. Even they will not have any difficulty to remain always Milanisti.
“It was a very beautiful last year. I played a sport I love in a wonderful environment, nothing could scratch and touch what I did in the past, a year without winning cannot damage my career. The best moment of my career is not only one, but two or three at the fullest of my capacity. I remember the first and second year of Capello, the year with Zaccheroni, even with Ancelotti in 2003 and 2004, but also with Sacchi, because I formed myself and reached the national team. The passion was at the base of everything, trying to always improve, in the long run it became a challenge with myself. In football you grow from the human level, you learn the respect towards others, at 16 years of age I used to work in a world of adults and it was a growth which brought me to be a respected person, the real spring is the passion for the sport. I had many positive examples and from them I tried to learn, the important thing is the family and I had close to me who managed me and gave an education. With Milan I have no regrets. The defeats are very painful, but are part of the game. After 4 World Cups with the national team, I would have wanted to win something, I cannot deny that they were 15 very beautiful years, with a bit more of luck I might have managed to win what the Italian national team won when I stopped.
“On the rapport with the fans of the Curva I think that if I have to go to dinner with them to earn a banner, I ask myself what sense it has, if they do it without me going to dinner it means that I did well what I’m paid for. If a certain detachment is kept, certain actions that they do can be criticized, it’s a more direct rapport.
“With regards to Carlo Ancelotti, I think that in England he will have to adapt to a more physical football, he will need to learn English well. Leonardo is a bet and usually the president won these bets, bringing a charge of innovation and youth is not bad. It’s a courageous choice, but it’s not bad. The coach is important, he must manage the group and is there that the wins are prepared and is also important for the management of the dressing room during the year. There are coaches who give an unmistakable footprint to their squads.”
MILAN - These are the declarations of Paolo Maldini, present today in Florence for a football tournament, where he received an award for his career and where his 13-year-old son Christian played and won the final against Fiorentina: "It's not easy to know what Kaka will do. I think that he will remain at Milan, but if Ancelotti was cryptic about his future, Kaka is even more."(ANSA)
幹!!馬的!!死加禿!!別去了一趟就順便把KAKA賣了
MILAN - Paolo Maldini again: "I thank the city of Florence and the Viola public for the standing ovation, which I appreciated a lot. It was nice to be applauded by the entire stadium: I ended my career like I wanted. I'm happy about the manifestations of affection I received, both before and after the game. I will always carry with me the moments of two days ago." And on his future: "Now I go on holiday, then when I return in September we'll see how we'll re-organize my life." (ANSA).
九月度假回來會發生何事呢?無論如何, 夏季轉會風暴即將開始...orz
除了原來的封面是馬隊小時候, 內容的圖片和sport week如出一轍。
雖然可能他本人沒講過這句話,去巴薩也很扯,不過還是看看當做GUARDIOLA對馬隊揪甘心的致意吧。
新浪體育訊20090528 率隊第一年，38歲的瓜迪奧拉創造了奇跡，巴塞羅那在他的率領下奪得三冠王，成為西班牙和歐洲的主人。賽後，巴薩少帥在場內接受了意大利RAI電視台採訪，他把巴薩的冠軍杯獎盃獻給了即將退役的AC米蘭隊長馬爾蒂尼。
「我把這座獎盃獻給所有熱愛足球的人們，特別是馬爾蒂尼，在歐洲有太多的崇拜他。」瓜迪奧拉說，「馬爾蒂尼應該成為所有人的榜樣。」
上周，馬爾蒂尼在主場與AC米蘭球迷發生了衝突，瓜迪奧拉開玩笑說：「嗯……我知道在上個禮拜的意甲比賽中，馬爾蒂尼和球迷出了點問題。如果他還想再踢一年的話，可以來巴薩。」
瓜迪奧拉承認冠軍杯決賽開局階段「巴薩踢得並不好，只到我們進球後才控制了局面。」
球員時代，瓜迪奧拉曾效力於羅馬，他最後說：「所以我非常渴望能夠在羅馬獲得這個冠軍，我要跟我的意大利朋友送上擁抱。」(N.K.)
5月25日11時32分
MILANELLO - Before the team's training session this afternoon, ahead of Milan-Roma, last home match of the season and last match at San Siro in Paolo Maldini's career, a very special awarding took place. Adriano Galliani gave the Rossoneri captain the celebrative medal (with which the club celebrates each player's 100th game) for his 900th appearence in Milan's shirt. Maldini reached this target last Saturday at the 'Friuli' against Udinese, in the stadium where he made his debut in 1985.
Adriano Galliani started the awarding as follows in front of Milan Channel's cameras: 'Paolo Maldini has reached the 900 game milestone in 24 years. From the first, on 20 January 1985 at Udine against Udinese to the 900th, again at Udine on 16 May 2009.'
After these declarations, the Rossoneri team, who had gathered in front of the captain and Milan's Delegate Administrator, a long applause was given. Galliani then said to the players' group: 'I told Paolo that he has time until 6 July to change his mind and try to reach 1000 games..."
Adriano Galliani then continued: 'I saw an interesting statistic. Each time Maldini reached a 100th game, he played an away game. The 100th, the 200th and so on until the 900th, all away from home. It's a very interesting thing. I think Paolo has no equals in the world and nobody managed to play 900 official games in the same team like him. I think this is an absolute record that will remain in history. I don't think there will ever be a player in an important team like Milan who manages to reach this amount of games. I have no abjectives to explain what we think of Paolo, the numbers speak for him. And then his characteristics, which are unique in the world.
Paolo Maldini has another luck: he and his father lifted the Champions League as Milan captains. They didn't just win it, but lifted it as champions, 40 years apart. This will probably never happen again. Maldini's career is simply incredible.'
At this point there was more applause for the captain, who thanked everyone and promised to talk about his emotions after tomorrow's game.
(AGI/ITALPRESS) - Parigi, 19 mag. - Tra due settimane, alla soglia dei 41 anni, Paolo Maldini appendera' le scarpette al chiodo. Cosa fara' dopo, pero', non e' dato saperlo anche perche' lo stesso capitano del Milan non ha ancora deciso.
"Voglio staccare la spina per un po', almeno fino a settembre - confessa in un'intervista a 'France Football' - Allora pensero' a cosa fare in futuro. Restare nel calcio? Non so, quando sara' il momento valutero' le diverse strade, dipendera' dalle proposte". L'unica certezza e' che comunque non seguira' le orme del padre Cesare "perche' quello di allenatore e' il mestiere che unisce tutte le cose che non mi piacciono del calcio", sorride Maldini, che pensa di rimanere a vivere a Milano dove giochera' la sua ultima partita il 31 maggio contro la Fiorentina. Il capitano rossonero, che ha fatto il suo debutto in A il 20 gennaio 1985, sa che provera' una grande emozione "ma immaginarla e' impossibile".
41歲的AC米蘭隊長保羅-馬爾蒂尼已經確認將在本賽季後退役，關於他的未來動向也讓許多米蘭球迷牽掛。近日在接受法國媒體採訪時，紅黑傳奇就自己的未來打算回答了記者的問題。
「我想我會先徹底休息一段時間，至少到9月前是這樣」，他對《法國足球》說，「然後我才會好好考慮自己的未來。」「繼續從事足球相關（的工作）？這倒不一定，我會根據到時的邀請來決定自己的前途。」
很多米蘭球迷希望保羅能像他的父親塞薩爾那樣成為足球教練，利用自己在球場上的豐富經驗指導後人，不過保羅似乎對此並不感興趣。
「當教練就得把足球中的許多東西有機結合在一起，而我（個人）不太喜歡從事類似的工作。」馬爾蒂尼對記者說。
本賽季意甲聯賽還剩兩輪，本周米蘭與羅馬之戰將是馬爾蒂尼身披紅黑戰袍在聖西羅球場的最後一場正式比賽，而31號的意甲收官戰，米蘭客場挑戰佛羅倫薩的比賽則是紅黑旗幟24年職業生涯的絕唱。 (本文來源：網易體育)
本週日下午，意甲第37輪將展開一場強強對話，AC米蘭坐鎮聖西羅球場迎戰羅馬。這場比賽，雙方都渴望全取三分：米蘭需要一場勝利鎖定下賽季歐冠小組賽資格，而排名第六的紅狼軍團同樣需要三分來保住下賽季歐洲聯賽（聯盟杯新名稱）席位。不過，連日來，媒體除了議論這場比賽的勝負之外，談論最多的就是保羅-馬爾蒂尼。
在上週末完成代表紅黑軍團第900次出場的里程碑之後，本週日下午，這位米蘭常青樹又將迎來一個重要時刻，因為他將向主場球迷做最後的道別。本週五，《進球網》對不少足球從業人員以及馬爾蒂尼的好友進行了獨家專訪。大家在讚頌馬隊的同時，也為他沒能贏得過金球獎鳴不平。
馬爾蒂尼的父親塞薩爾-馬爾蒂尼表示，「保羅的職業生涯中給我留下了很多動人的瞬間，本週日又將是一個動情的時刻。我還能要求他更多？保羅總是自重並尊重所有人，這或許是他贏得所有人尊重的秘訣。我有機會在米蘭和國家隊執教過他。在場上，他是一名球員，並非我的兒子。」
《QN雜誌》的總編哈維爾-亞科貝利指出，「我有幸近距離追蹤過他7年，那是我1987年至1994年為羅馬體育報供職期間。我認為，他絕對是戰後最強的後衛。從技戰術角度，從道德品行角度來說，很少像他這樣的人沒能贏得金球獎。6月6日意大利與北愛爾蘭的友誼賽，他理應得到踢告別賽的機會，最好能安排在聖西羅。我們的足球需要馬爾蒂尼這樣積極的榜樣。我讀到了他的採訪，他說他不想當教練，我希望他能為米蘭和意大利足協擔任大使。」
意大利黃金七台的評論員蒂齊亞諾-克魯德利表示，「他是一位偉大的榜樣，他是意大利足球史上最優秀的邊後衛。900多次代表米蘭出場，這個紀錄無人能及。有什麼逸聞？我第一次在米蘭內洛採訪他時，他當時是一個16歲半的小伙子，他非常害羞，但非常有禮貌，我至今也忘不了這段經歷。」
前意大利著名前鋒朱塞佩-西格諾裡評價說，「馬爾蒂尼？一位偉大的球員。不幸的是，意大利足球將失去一位真正的傳奇。我深信，他理應得到一座金球獎。如果可以，我願意親手頒發給他。」
電視評論員布魯諾-皮祖爾表示，「馬爾蒂尼的職業生涯是超凡脫俗的，他表現出了難以置信的潛力，他的舉止總是公平正直，他是所有人的榜樣。他絕對應該得到金球獎，他是世界足球的一面旗幟。我還記得很清楚他在國家隊的處子秀，那是在斯普利特對南斯拉夫，當時他非常年輕，但他已經用行動證明了他是一位偉大的球員，而他總是這麼出色。」
前米蘭後衛斯蒂法諾-納瓦指出，「他是一位偉大的冠軍，他也是一個大丈夫，保羅是一個很好的人，他非常有教養。他在場上場下樹立了很好的榜樣。我很幸運成為他的朋友，我認為他的成就已經超過了巴雷西。」
前米蘭前鋒馬西莫-阿戈斯蒂尼表示，「馬爾蒂尼是一位偉大的人，我很榮幸曾與他在一起踢過球。他為米蘭踢了25年，他與巴雷西和塔索蒂是米蘭最出色的後衛。很遺憾，他就要退役了，但我們必須要感謝他對足球所做的一切。」
前意大利國家隊主帥阿塞利奧-維奇尼指出，「我認為保羅的職業生涯是至高無上的。他在一支偉大的球隊踢了20多年，他穩定的表現讓人難以置信。我還記得很清楚1989年他在斯普利特上演的國家隊處子秀。而在場外，他總是很低調，言行舉止很得體，他可以被視為是足球史上最偉大的球員之一。很難說他有什麼奇聞軼事，他很少製造過事端。我相信，他會是一個很好的管理者，他有很強的管理能力。」
前米蘭前鋒阿萊桑德羅-梅利表示，「談到保羅，我首先想到的一個詞，就是他是獨一無二的。他給我留下最深刻的印象，就是他始終都是一個榜樣：我們在一起踢的比賽不多，我在米蘭效力的時間很短暫。我認為，他的職業生涯如此漫長的一個秘訣就是他很職業、生活很簡單。我深信他有能力像安切洛蒂、塔索蒂和范巴斯滕一樣去當教練，但我認為，最適合他的就是做意大利足球的大使，他決策和組織的能力非常強。」

Each fan who will participate to the celebrations on Sunday at San Siro, will receive a special prize to remember the captain, scarf "Tre solo per te" (Three only for you) created on purpose for this occasion and the Panini album with the 24 stickers of the Captain's career.
A Sunday of celebrations with a double significance: the last home game of Serie A coincides with Maldini's salute to the San Siro public and for the occasion Milan will go on the pitch in the match against Roma with the new 2009/10 shirt. For the Rossoneri hearts there will be the possibility of purchasing the new Rossoneri's shirt, personalized "MALDINI 3" and enriched by the celebrative patch "Tre solo per te" at the San Siro Store.
Such an important Sunday will surely be remembered in the minds and hears of our Captain and in that of each and every Rossoneri's fan, a special afternoon, full of emotions, as it was each game in which Paolo went on the pitch, giving his best for the Rossoneri's cause: thanks Captain, we'll miss you!
MILAN – Last Saturday, May 16 2009, Paolo Maldini, indicated by many as one of the best Milan players of this final part of the season, played at Udine his 900th official game with the Rossoneri’s shirt.
The other important dates of Paolo are many. November 12, 1986, made his debut with the Italian Under 21 national team, whereas on May 15 1988 he won at Como (the same stadium of his first goal in Serie A, a year and a half earlier) his first Scudetto with Milan. 1989 is the special year of the Finals, both for Paolo Maldini and Milan: on May 24 of that year, the Rossoneri’s team, after 20 years, returns European Champions as they beat Steaua Bucharest 4-0: on December 7 arrives the European Super Cup at San Siro with a goal of Evani against Barcelona; on December 17 it is Evani again who scores the winner in the World Club Cup at Tokyo against Nacional Medellini. 1990 is sweet and sour: on May 23 Milan win the Champions Cup again in Vienna against Benfica thanks to a goal by Frank Rijkaard; on July 3 Italy is defeated in the semi-final of the world cup by Argentina; on December 17 Milan returns world champion in Tokyo against Olimpia Asuncion, but Paolo hurts himself to a shoulder.
After two other Scudetti won and also Italian Super Cups, there is France on the horizon. It’s a France who gives and takes. On May 26 1993 in Munich, Olympique Marseille beats Milan in the Champions Cup final, but on December 28 of the same year, the first great recognition for Paolo. In Paris, precisely from the great newspaper L’Equipe, arrives the title of Player of the Year.
On April 17 1994 Milan won its 14th Scudetto, despite equalizing 2-2 at San Siro against Udinese. But it’s not over: on May 18 1994 with Paolo vice-captain, due to the absence of Franco Baresi and Alessandro Costacurta, Milan won the Champions Cup beating the favourites Barcelona, coached by Johan Cruyff. Almost two months later, on July 17, there is another final but less enthusiastic. It’s the Pasadena-Los Angeles, where the Azzurri coached by Arrigo Sacchi lose the World Cup final of USA 94 from the penalty shoot-out against Brazil.
1995 sees Paolo winning the European Super Cup at San Siro against Arsenal on February 8, losing the Champions Cup final in Vienna 1-0 against Ajax of Rijkaard, Seedorf and Kluivert, and reach 500 official games in career with Milan and the national team. This happens in the Uefa Cup, in a game between Milan and Sparta Prague at San Siro, but Paolo still finds the way to celebrate in the league three days later, on November 26, scoring a goal at San Siro in Milan-Piacenza 3-0.
Paolo’s story in the European scene started in the Uefa Cup in 1985, at Auxerre in France. Then on September 7 1988, the debut in the Champions Cup in Bulgaria: Vitocha Sofia-Milan 0-2. The 50th game arrived on February 2 1994: Milan-Parma 0-2 and European Super Cup won by the Emiliani, a healthy defeat which then stirs Milan and a few months later they win the Scudetto-Champions Cup double. From these first 100 games, the most fun win arrived in Denmark (6-0 for Milan) on October 20 1993 at the Parken stadium against Copenhagen.
On March 15 2003, Paolo Maldini plays his 500th match in Serie A. For such an important recurrence, Milan is expected on Saturday evening at Reggio Calabria. The Amaranti’s public, warm and enthusiastic like few others, at the moment of his warming up, chant his name and applaud Paolo Maldini.
On May 28 2003, Paolo raises to the sky of Manchester in England, like his father did exactly 40 years before, the Champions Cup. The wins do not stop: on May 31 Paolo is happy to have won his first Coppa Italia of his career, whereas on August 29 2003, against Porto of Jose Mourinho, a goal by Andriy Shevchenko allows Milan to triumph in the European Super Cup in Montecarlo. On December 14 2003, Boca Juniors beat Milan in the Club World Cup in Yokohama, but in the final Milan will make up for this defeat on December 16 2007, beating 4-2 and without the penalties the first Fifa Club World Cup won by a European club. In between many other things: May 2 2004, Milan-Roma 1-0, 17th Scudetto; August 21 2004, Milan–Lazio 3-0, Italian Super Cup won; May 25, Milan-Liverpool 5-6 from the penalty shoot-outs, Istanbul; May 23 2007, Milan-Liverpool 2-1, Athens; August 31 2007, Milan-Sevilla 3-1, Europeane Super Cup won.
Here are other important numbers of the Captain:
THE 33 GOALS SCORED BY MALDINI
• SERIE A: 29
• CHAMPIONS CUP/CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 3
• COPPA ITALIA: 1
THE 56 DERBY GAMES OF MALDINI
. SERIE A: 42
• CHAMPIONS CUP/CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 4
• COPPA ITALIA: 7
• TROFEO BERLUSCONI: 1
. FRIENDLIES: 2
MILAN - Leonardo spoke about the Captain's nearing goodbye to football: "Paolo is a living legend, a unique story. I certainly see him as a friend, but I always remember what he represents from a symbolic point of view. The cycles he experienced in these 23 years as a total protagonist, with his talent, his way of seeing football and his personality, transmitted a sense of hard work and complete dedication. He is the face of Milan."
(ON THE ARCHIVE PHOTO: RINO GATTUSO DURING TRAINING)
MILAN - Here are the declarations of Rino Gattuso to Milan Channel, today at Milanello, before the afternoon training session:
Rino, on Sunday there's Milan-Roma, a match that's never easy.
"Yes, for us it will be a fundamental match because we already wasted two match balls and we have not closed the race for a Champions League spot, we have a third match ball and we don't want to make more mistakes. We have the chance to play for it at home in front of our fans, it will also be the last match at San Siro of Paolo Maldini and I think that will give us an extra motivation. Already the motivation of entering the Champions League directly will be enough because we saw how much we suffered this year. Sunday we will have to fight and give everything. The match at Udine did not have the same consequences for the table as the one in Naples last year, but it was similar: perhaps in these years we've lacked continuity and when that's missing, you have to get back on track immediately."
It will also be Paolo Maldini's last match at San Siro.
"Yes, it will be the match that signal the end of a great career like Paolo's, a great champion and a great team mate. I think the right definition for a champion like him is 'a gladiator', a footballer who when he wore the captain's armband and went on the pitch gave everything, a great example also when he didn't play.
Personally he has helped me a lot, he made me understand many things. Certainly this Sunday there will be a great emotion for the end of his career, I will always have him inside me and so will my team mates."
What do you think about the voices regarding Kaká and Carlo Ancelotti?
"I am sure Kaká will stay. Regarding the coach, one day it seems I have understood everything and the next day I change my mind. I think it's right that it will be talked about at the end of the season. If the coach leaves, they will still have been wonderful years. Hope is the last to die, however: the team is with him, he has been our coach for many years and a special relationship has been created. It will be up to the club and the coach to come to an agreement and I hope they will. Otherwise we will open a new cycle without forgetting that Milan will have to start winning again."
和本賽季的球衣相比，2009-10賽季的米蘭戰袍做了一些設計上的改進。作為主場隊服的紅黑間條衫，有5道紅帶和4道黑帶在胸前，肩部飾以3道紅帶。最引人注目的還是衣領的變化，這次球衣的衣領全部變成白色，和球褲的主色相映襯。
在新球衣的發佈儀式上，米蘭副主席加利亞尼表示，在這個時候發佈球衣，有特別的意義：「我們選擇了一個最好的時刻，向我們的球迷展示俱樂部新球衣。因為這是我們為了表達我們對隊長的愛，他的3號球衣將在這個週末的聖西羅告別。」
馬爾蒂尼作為模特出現，並不表明他下賽季還會繼續為米蘭踢球。相反，這正好是他選擇的一種特別的告別方式。
這個週末與羅馬的比賽，馬爾蒂尼將最後一次以球員身份亮相聖西羅，屆時他將穿著新的米蘭球衣參加比賽。比賽結束後，這件戰袍不僅會和他一起退役，而且屬於他的米蘭3號，也將就此封存。 (本文來源：網易體育 作者：高飛)

比賽當天會販售當天才有的紀念衫和商品Q_____Q
MILAN - Friday May 22, live with the Captain. For all the Rossoneri fans subscribed to Milan Channel, they will be able to dialogue live with the champion with an unprecedented voyage between football eras which are extraordinarily difference from each other. It's the eight time that this happens, from the first show of Januar 2000 until today, always during the Segni Particolari show. Last year the show was live on May 16, two days before the tribute of San Siro to Serginho and Cafu against Udinese.
During these days of waiting for his great salute on Sunday, many memories of the Captain come to mind. When in the winter of 2003, he reached the 720 official games with the Milan shirt, overtaking the record of Franco Baresi, in the living room of the Corriere dello Sera there was a nice surprise for him. He thought he would have a normal interview and instead he found Nils Liedholm, his father Cesare, Carlo Ancelotti, Alberto Zaccheroni, Mauro Tassotti and Filippo Galli to welcome him. His coaches andh is team-mates of many battles gave him the Rossoneri's official shirt with the number 720 under the name MALDINI.
On Friday at 1.15pm, Paolo Maldini will sign his shirt of this season, the last one, which he will hand out before the end of May, to one of the subscribers who would have written a message, the most important thing on Segni PArticolari, on his characteristics of being a man and a champion.

當年的小CHRISTIAN長大了
The Rossoneri's captain, Paolo Maldini, gave an interview to daily newspaper 'La Stampa' in which he touched on various themes: his career, his emotions, Milan, his life.
MILAN - Paolo Maldini, a name, a legend. He has tied his entire career to Milan, the team of his city which saw him mature and grow as a man and a professional. In 1978 he had his first try-out with the Rossoneri, his Serie A debut on 20 January 1985 under Nils Liedhbolm, while he was just sixteen, in a match against Udinese (1-1).
Already the following season, at just 17, Paolo became a first choice in the Rossoneri's formation, with the number 3 shirt of the left back. He scored his first Serie A goal on 4 January 1987 in Como-Milan (0-1). In Europe, his first goal came on 21 October 1992 in Slovan Bratislava-Milan (0-1).
Today Paolo is Milan's captain, husband and father of Christian and Daniel, and holds the record for the most seasons in Serie A with the same team. With 25 consecutive seasons played with Milan, he is the record holder for appearences: 895 official games played, including Cups.
"There are seven games left to the end of the season" - Paolo Maldini said this morning in an interview to Turin daily newspaper 'La Stampa' - I've solved my physical problems, I'd like to get to 900."
The Rossoneri's captain made up a balance of his career on his last season as a player, saying: "As a man and a player I gave my best from when I was 30 to when I turned 40." On which game gave him the most emotions, Maldini answered: "The debut in Udine. Battistini got injured, Liedholm told me during the break in the dressing room."
With Milan's shirt in Italy he won, at national level: 7 Scudetti (1987-1988, 1991-1992, 1992-1993, 1993-1994, 1995-1996, 1998-1999, 2003-2004); 5 Italian Supercups (1988, 1992, 1993, 1994, 2004 ) and 1 Coppa Italia (2002-2003); at international level: 5 Champions Cups/Champions League (1988-1989, 1989-1990, 1993-1994, 2002-2003, 2006-2007); 5 UEFA Supercups (1989, 1990, 1994, 2003, 2007); 2 Intercontinental Cups (1989, 1990); 1 Club World Cup (2007).
With the national team shirt he debuted at age 19, on 31 March 1988 in Jugoslavia-Italy (1-1) and scored the first of his 7 goals on 20 January 1993 in Florence against Mexico (2-0).
He quit the national team in 2002 at 34 after the World Cup. With the Azzurri's shirt he has played 126 matches (an absolute record), scoring 7 goals. Paolo also holds the record for the amount of matches with the captain's armband: 74. It's also possible that he will wear the Azzurri's shirt one more time in a possible friendly at Pescara in an act of solidarity towards Abruzzo: "It would be magnificent, I would be proud" - Maldini commented.
On 26 June Maldini will turn 41 and he will end this cycle of honors, glories and victories with the Rossoneri shirt, but since a few months a 'new' defender, Thiago Silva, is training alongside him at Milanello, and Paolo gave him his grade: "A very high grade. He's strong and quick. He's worthy of Milan."
All of this is captain Maldini, a unique case in the world and certainly all the Rossoneri fans, and not only them, will have a sad day when he plays his last match at San Siro on 24 May against Roma: "I would have liked to finish at San Siro, but our last match is in Florence. And so I will wave the fans goodbye the Sunday before, on 24 May at home against Roma."
