MALDINI: best italian player ever , most successful italian player and one of the most in History, best italian defender ever with Baresi, in the top three defenders' shortlist in the history (with baresi and beckembauer)
Paolo is the most consistent player ever to grace a football picth, and before his 30 people was surprised when he even managed to mistake a pass;
the most two footed player i have ever seen (even more than van basten who was able to lob keepers with his less sensitive foot): it is proved by the fact he kicks penalties with left or right without any difference
who saw him playing before his 30 can tell how class he was, at 18 y o he went to bernabeu against one of the best teams of the 80 (real madrid) and outclassed a world class player like Michel
sportmanship: got at worst 3 red cards in 20 years
Consistency: Through his career he's been world class for almost 20 years at the highest levels .Till 30 y o he almost raised the perfection ..i remember him doing one howler every countless matches.
Class: surely the most complete defender of the hystory, counting athletical skills, pace (before 30 i remember that even Ronaldo or Weah couldn't outpace him , and Ronaldo was the best ever seen), technique, defending/attacking (before being dropped as a central defender), position, headers..
The perfect player, if you add an out of common loyalty to his club..
Records: he's won everything at club stage, his only sad point is NT, with he still reached 1 WC final, 1 WC semifinal, and 1 Euro cup final.
At the end of the season will be the player in Italy with the highest number of matches, getting over Zoff, who played over 40 as a goalie.
Already a legend before his 30s, one day i will be proud to have witnessed his entire career
