In real life, Maldini (1985-2009) has collected innumerable trophies for his cabinet alongside his feats in World Cup. He was the pillar in the backline for his national team in WC 1990 (3rd place) and WC 1994 (runners up)! 5 times UCL winner!
If we talk about his defending style; Flawless! To watch Maldini is to witness perfect technical skill, athleticism, stamina and composure, although his early years were also punctuated with an uniquely adept ability to execute expertly timed sliding tackles. His passing was vastly underrated by the wider footballing audience, while he also had a knack of scoring goals that also went under-appreciated, netting in all but three of his 24 full seasons as a professional.
A real legend who embraced the green turf and left a legacy to be followed!
