MALDINI: 'Milan did well and had fun'
9/10/2005
MILAN – The post Milan-Siena match analysis by Captain Paolo Maldini, who as always put on an impeccable performance: ‘I am very happy because we gave a powerful demonstration. We demonstrated that Milan are doing well and know how to have fun. We were in some risky situations, we must pay closer attention on the defensive side, and then we will be competitive in every aspect. We saw tonight that it is not a question of the defensive lineup, but of attention. Gilardino? He moved well, he must stay absolutely calm. His value is known by all. Everyone is confident in him: the club, us and the fans.’ On his condition and the possibility that he will return to the field in three days, the captain said: ‘We will see how I am tomorrow, this was the first whole game.’ On turnover: ‘It is a normal thing, considering the alternatives that there are at Milan. And it is something to repeat, to give more space to some players and to let some others breathe. Dida? I have great confidence in him. Along with Buffon, he is the greatest keeper in the world. Dida’s problems never existed for us. Gattuso? He took the field with the right spirit, just like the rest of us. We searched to score the whole time, this is our nature and it will be like this for the whole season.’
