Costacurta discusses Maldini’s harsh words about Milan: “I was surprised”

Paolo Maldini had some very harsh words for the current AC Milan management earlier this week, finally telling his side of the story. During the broadcast for Milan-Frosinone yesterday, Billy Costacurta shared his thoughts on the interview. 

The interview was published by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Friday, including some very harsh words about the current Milan management. If you haven’t read Maldini’s words yet, do yourself a favour and take a look now.

Speaking during the broadcast for Milan-Frosinone yesterday on Sky Italia, the Milan legend Costacurta shared his thoughts on Maldini’s words. He stated that he wasn’t just surprised by the overall message, but also the timing.

“I was surprised by the timing and also by the words. He shot high, I don’t know who he was talking about, but he tried to hit these people quite heavily. Knowing him, I think they (the newspaper, editor’s note) called to talk at this moment, to me it doesn’t add up that he was the one who wanted to talk now,” he said as cited by MilanNews.

While Milan have had their fair share of struggles this season, they are just four points behind Juventus in first place. Inter will face Napoli tonight and could make it six points, but it’s clear that the Rossoneri are in the race still.
