Paolo Maldini hails http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 as the current symbol of A.C Milan: Serie A news
A.C Milan legend, Paolo Maldini, has hailed striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and has compared him with the club legend, Marco Van Basten.
Ibrahimovic joined Milan on-loan from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 before the start of the 2010/11 season and played a huge role in helping the club to win the Scudetto after seven years. The Swedish striker scored 14 goals in 28 league appearances
but his presence in the field was really influential for the Italian champions.
Maldini, who himself is considered as the symbol of Milan, has thrown the tag on the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker. The legend believes that Ibrahimovic is the backbone of Milan squad and he was the pivotal reason behind their success
last season. The former Italian skipper compared the striker to another Milan legend, Marco Van Basten, and believes that Ibrahimovic is technically equally gifted as the Dutchman.
Talking to the reporters Maldini said, "Ibrahimovic is the current symbol of Milan. Ibra has transmitted, at the level of mentality and play, strong statements. It's Ibra, with his overflowing character, who has restored great
confidence to Milan".
"At a technical level, Ibra and Van Basten are equal. Van Basten was more complete and more of a scorer, but Ibrahimovic is more powerful and more of a leader.”
Maldini is delighted to hear that Milan have captured the permanent signing of Ibrahimovic and he has full confidence that the striker will lead the club to more success in the future.
The former skipper also commented on the future of the club’s January buy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302, and believes that the former Sampdoria star is on a make or break stage of his playing career. Maldini added that next season will be crucial
in determining the player’s future.
“Cassano is at the crossroads. It's his last chance to prove that he can also be decisive at the highest level".
Cassano’s career has been hampered by several disciplinary issues in the past and many football pundits believe that he should be offloaded, as he will create unrest in the Milan dressing room.
