The coming and going of players has long been an everyday occurrence, especially in an increasingly large sports market. This reveals how rare it is for one man and one city to compete in the sporting arena. Whether it's
Los Angeles Lakers
The legendary Kobe Bryant, or the ever-present Yankee captain Derek Jeter, this rare loyalty is definitely one of the reasons why they hold a high place in the hearts of their fans.
When fans started talking about the one-man representation on the soccer field.
That name is definitely the first one that comes to mind.

The captain's experience, moreover, is the only father-son pair to have been named in the World Cup's best XI.
Paolo Maldini is considered the best linebacker of all time.
It is the unshakable standard of the red and black legionaries, the eternal Milan iron blood captain.
Paolo, who joined Milan at the age of 10 in his father's footsteps, has devoted his entire soccer career to the

His 14 years of service is the longest in the history of the Volunteers and he was a longtime member of the

He is extremely calm defender and decisive steals are his specialty.
He's also known for his elegance.
Paolo's defensive awareness allowed him to steal the ball from the opponents with ease. As Milan's key commander at the back, his cool-headedness made him a top organizer. 1991-1993, with Paolo at the back, Milan had the Dutch trio of Marco Van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard at the heart of the attack, along with Franco Baresi, currently a member of the midfield.

Being the queen of a famous general, Paolo has been carrying a lot of attention and pressure.
However, at a young age he showed outstanding soccer talent. After jumping through the youth ranks, Paolo Maldini broke Milan's record by playing for the adult team at the age of 16. Defender is a position that requires a lot of experience, but the talented Paolo quickly established himself in Milan's defense.
