Daniel Maldini is now an Italian international. He thus follows in the footsteps of his father, Paolo, and his grandfather Cesare.
Damn you can’t lie. Paolo Maldini, absolute legend of Italian football and world champion in 2006, was certainly very proud to see that his son Daniel Maldiniaged 23 and playing at Monza, was taken over for the first time by Luciano Spalletti.
It remained to be seen whether the Monza attacking midfielder would get playing time. The scenario of the match against the Red Devils prevented him from doing so, Spalletti having to adapt to the rapid expulsion of Pellegrini and therefore opt for more changes. defensive.
But this Monday, shortly after the Squadra Azzurra made 3-1 against Israel, the son of Paolo Maldini replaced Giacomo Raspadori and therefore became an Italian international. This is the first time in the history of the Squadra that three generations have followed one another.
Indeed, in addition to Paolo, Daniel’s grandfather, Cesare Maldini (died in 2016) also wore the national team jersey 14 times. If we talk a little less about him than about his illustrious son, Cesare Maldini wore the AC Milan jersey 412 times, won 4 Serie A, a Champions League and was even part of the World Cup team. 1962!
Difficult to predict whether Daniel Maldini will have such a rich career, having left AC Milan without winning (24 matches, one goal). This season, he played 8 matches with Monza, scoring one goal and giving one assist.
