David ArrowsmithGUEST
um and he not only saved i think four penalties in the shootout but also scored his penalty i think he scored something i think he scored 41 career goals um and not including shootouts um so he took a lot of penalties he also scored some cracking free kicks um and he really was you know he was he was a brilliant penalty saver and also a really accomplished penalty taker and he was the hero of that team that won the Coppa Libertadores he was also a key figure in World Cup qualifying to get Colombia to Italian 90. he was also you know the goalkeeper for Intercontinental Cup final, which was Atletico Nacional against AC Milan, which is one of the kind of great forgotten games of the late 80s, took place in Tokyo, 60,000 people.
David ArrowsmithGUEST
It was Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan with Rijkaard, Van Basten, Beresi, Maldini, Costa Curta, Ancelotti, Fusair, Donadoni, all funded by Silvio Berlusconi.
David ArrowsmithGUEST
And this team from Medellin in Colombia, And it went all the way to extra time.
David ArrowsmithGUEST
And in the end, AC Milan won it in the 119th minute with a deflected free kick.
Mark HarrisonHOST
five Champions League finals, three Champions League finals in five years in that period as well.
Mark HarrisonHOST
A lot of that team, Perla, Gattuso, Maldini were still playing.
Mark HarrisonHOST
Like, they were Italian players in that team.
Mark HarrisonHOST
Yeah, it

Mark HarrisonHOST
now I think when I first got into it I just enjoyed it everything was so good And I think over time, I mean, I, you know, as we said, when we did the one with Mark, like I loved Baggio and Baggio obviously moved around but I do remember when Baggio went to Milan which obviously didn't work out being like okay this is this is where I want him to be
speaker_1ADVERTISER
with
Mark HarrisonHOST
the other with Maldini and Costa Grotta and the other players I really and Albertini and the other ones who I really liked so i mean obviously that didn't work but
speaker_3ADVERTISER
yeah i
AdamHOST
okay this was tough um so what i've done to get this first person was think of what is sort of hard as time and place to score goals as a striker or to operate as a striker in football which took me to sort of late 80s to 2000s Italy, Serie A, famously defensively elite era of football.
AdamHOST
You've got Nestor's and Perez's, Maldini's, Costa Corto's, Cannavaro's, etc, etc, etc.
AdamHOST
Nestor could name a million of those.
AdamHOST
Well, I couldn't, but someone could.
Martino PuccioHOST
I don't see how we can expect a new management to come in, expect all these new players to integrate so seamlessly, and there's not even that much new players considering the holes that you have, to come in and fix it.
Martino PuccioHOST
I just think that like what we saw with the Maldini project and so on and so forth was it took years to kind of get out of it, turn things around, get the proper manager in and get things going.
Martino PuccioHOST
I'm not saying Redbird is going to do that.
Martino PuccioHOST
I'm not even saying this management is going to do that.
28 MINS LATER
Martino PuccioHOST
Well, there was over 200 and something of you in here.
Martino PuccioHOST
Matt and I are hopefully doing a preview tomorrow.
Martino PuccioHOST
What are we doing? What are we doing with this Maldini stuff? Guys.
Martino PuccioHOST
Paolo Maldini is not coming back.
Have HopeHOST
safe.
Have HopeHOST
This is almost like the Maldini school of the defending.
Have HopeHOST
It's by anticipation.
Have HopeHOST
Boom.
Graham BoozyHOST
Just a little bit quickly about you as a player.
Graham BoozyHOST
You're obviously currently the Paolo Maldini of CLM Coventry FC.
Graham BoozyHOST
But, you know, running up to that, have you always just played recreationally, I guess is the question.
Nathan FaulknerGUEST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Natasha DowieGUEST
I was called like the Zlatan of the women's team.
Natasha DowieGUEST
You know, we had Maldini coming to our games.
Natasha DowieGUEST
But because of COVID, the fans weren't allowed in the stadium, so I was really gutted about that because you would see all the fans behind the, the borders, like with their heads over trying to watch and s- and cheering us on, but they weren't allowed in the stadium.
Natasha DowieGUEST
So I kind of wish I'd experienced, you know, the fans actually live in Italy.
MattHOST
So-
JakeHOST
And then Daniel Maldini scored the winning penalty and then had a little bit too much fun afterwards.
MattHOST
Exactly.
JakeHOST
More to come.
JakeHOST
By the way, we're over 10 minutes in so go crazy with your lingo.
MattHOST
Exactly.
MattHOST
Um, Daniel Maldini [laughs].
JakeHOST
[laughs] We'll get to Maldini though.
JackHOST
It started with Cesare Maldini, a top defender for AC Milan.
JackHOST
Then came his son, Paolo Maldini, who took it to another level.
JackHOST
Over 900 games for Milan, five Champions League titles, and arguably the greatest defender of all time.
JackHOST
He stayed loyal to one club his entire career, and Milan even retired his number three shirt.
JackHOST
As of 2026, he's on loan at Lazio, where he's starting to make a real impact, scoring goals and becoming an important player.
JackHOST
On top of that, he's also broken into the Italian national team, already picking up a few caps.
JackHOST
He's not his father, and honestly, not many people could ever be Paolo Maldini, but that's what makes this story so interesting.
JackHOST
Daniel didn't try to copy-paste.
MarkHOST
Again, Barcola was a good opportunity and a very, very strong sale to Liverpool.
MarkHOST
And I think what goes under the radar is the signing of centre-back Jeremy Jaquette, the loan with an option to buy of Araujo, guys coming back from injury, like Leone, this young Italian kid Leone, I know it's sacrilegious to say in soccer, but this guy from the film I've seen, he reminds me like Maldini.
MarkHOST
And I don't want to put that kind of weight on the kid, but during his injury and recovery time, he worked out like a beast and he should be back this month.
MarkHOST
And so I'm expecting big things.
