Maldini: ‘I’d return to AC Milan. On Italy...’
“Spain are a better side than Italy, we knew we could have played the play-offs but the first game against Sweden was not a good one. Italy qualified in 1998 when we beat Russia in the play-offs I was playing and my father was the manager, Italy must qualify. I’d love to play this game. We should ask ourselves some serious questions about the future of Italian football if we fail to qualify. At the moment, however, I don’t even want to think about it.”
“My future? I can chose it, I am not in a rush, I’d only return to AC Milan or join the Italian federation. There was a chance to join the Italian football federation, I talked to them, I didn’t say no but I haven’t heard anything since then. I’d like to return in the World of football, but I’d only return to Italy or AC Milan.
