Ambrosini hails Maldini’s work as director: “He is the complete master of the situation”

By Oliver Fisher -

Massimo Ambrosini was full of praise for his former team-mate Paolo Maldini when asked about the work he has done as a director. 

Maldini is receiving plaudits for his work since he return to Milan back in 2018 and inherited a difficult situation given the reckless spending of the previous Chinese ownership. However, he and sporting director Ricky Massara have completely changed the Rossoneri’s path, returning them to the top of Serie A with last season’s Scudetto win with the target of aiming even higher in Europe too.

Yesterday evening the docu-film ‘Stavamo Bene Insieme’ was released, which is all about Carlo Ancelotti’s Milan side from their victory in Manchester against Juventus to that night in Athens and the rematch against Liverpool.

Ambrosini was present at the event given how much he features, and he released some statements regarding his friend and former team-mate Maldini that were relayed by Corriere dello Sport.

“Maldini had the ability to question himself, now at Milan he is the complete master of the situation. In addition to giving charisma and protection, he has chosen the right players,” he said (via PianetaMilan).

“His skill, together with Massara, was to compensate for today for what we had through President Berlusconi. I still think that De Ketelaere’s is a successful acquisition , even if so far he has not done exceptional things.”
