The loudest applause came from above, they made their way through the clouds and, like rose petals, they hit him and he tasted its sweetness. Grandfather Cesare, from up there, saw and proudly said: “We are tough people, we Maldinis”. And the young Daniel, returning to the center of the field, will have thought back to all the lessons that grandfather Cesare and father Paolo gave him, and if he is now here to enjoy the moment of glory it is because those speeches have entered his head and they have become a way of life. Daniel Maldini's goal at the peak of La Spezia closes the circle of a wonderful football story. Cesare, Paolo and Daniel: all three men from Milan, all three with the Rossoneri colors tattooed on their skin.
