Daniel Maldini’s grandfather was even more famous. He was attached to AC Milan not only as a player but also as a coach and especially as the first AC Milan captain to raise the European Cup in 1963.

For one thing, Mr. Cesare started his Serie A career in Triestina (currently playing in Serie C) in May 1995. And the first of the 386 games he played for AC Milan was a Triestina victory 4-0 in September 9, 1994. Cesare played for 12 years for AC Milan and led the team from 1972 to 1974, briefly in 2001. He died in April 2016 at the age of 84.

Daniel Madini will have to work hard to pursue his father’s achievements. He said after the Verona draw: “My first match was a dream, but the result of this match was disappointing. We could have done better, but there were still emotions. Verona was the team. difficult to play, we deserved to get 3 points but we only got 1 point. We hope to win in the next round This start is a goal that I have prepared, now we hope to continue like that. I felt a strong emotion and my father reassured me”.

Arsenal after the defeat of Man City is the fourth loss in the last 9 matches in the Premier League, the rest draw 4 and only won 1.

Therefore, the temporary coach Ljungberg is still hard to stay in the long term, amid the British press that in order to save the Gunners from the disaster season, the management of this team needs to quickly find a new coach that is more reputable and experience to replace.

One of these is Arteta, a former Arsenal player who knows the style and operation of the club so it is considered appropriate. However, Arteta is in Man City and is the right hand of Pep Guardiola.

Prior to moving to Guardiola as an assistant in 2016, Arteta played for Everton from 2005 to 2011, then moved to Arsenal from 2011 to 2016. Therefore, in addition to Arsenal, Everton wants his ex-member to come back to help the club overcome difficulties. Even so, the final decision rests with Arteta.
