Milan, Maldini: “There was no match between us and Inter, now let’s invest”

Paolo Maldini appears in front of the television cameras after the defeat against Inter and already has clear ideas: “We have to invest to be able to compete with the big teams. The semi-final was unexpected, no one at the beginning of the year had predicted such a thing, then Clearly, defeat burns. There was no match between us and Inter.” And again, on the fourth place in the championship to conquer: “If we were to qualify for the next Champions League, I would give this Milan an 8, we have to believe it”.

Competitiveness

These are Maldini’s words: “The gap with Inter is real, maybe today we played better but in the last four games there hasn’t been a draw. We can’t take countermeasures”. And again: “We are not yet structured to compete in the two competitions. Our owners know it very well, it is a path that has brought great economic and sporting results. Today it went like this, between us and Inter we are three years old different media. We have first-time players at this level.”

Leao

Maldini concluded as follows: “If we were able to get to the Champions League it would be a good season. Starting point? We never have a full belly, that’s when you win and then you win again. And then Milan isn’t allowed to have it”. On the renewal of Leao: “We are at the details, it’s just a matter of small things, but here we are”.

De Ketelaere

Maldini also explained to Sky why they chose to invest in De Ketelaere and not in Dybala: “Charles has to grow and it’s normal. It would have been much simpler and much less expensive to go with a player like Dybala. But it would have been a fair purchase for our project? Would it have been fair and shared by the owners? No. We know that we have an idea and we have the will to build a young and talented team. We need to take risks with young people. If I had had to make a stronger lineup I would have made a other type of market.
