Nice pic. I'm guessing those are Sheva's kids? They definitely aren't Christian and Daniel Maldini.

I was a little bored so was looking at clips of the best defence in Milan's (and arguably football's) history:

Tassotti (very, very hard to find anything noteworthy):

Costacurta:

Baresi:

Maldini:

A special mention to Galli and Panucci too. Galli was often regarded as the 5th member of that classic backline, while Panucci took Tassotti's position in the early 90s to continue to maintain the quality at the back.

Who are they? Savicevic and Baresi?

[reza]

Yes

[xudong]

it seems that both put on some extra fat.

An absolutely must listen to I think pretty much anyone on the forum:

From about 21 minutes there's a good 45 minute discussion about Sacchi's new book and the man himself, obviously focused mostly on his history with Milan. It's really an insightful discussion, revealing things I didn't know (e.g. an "interesting" conversation with Gullit).

That's a good podcast. Check here too. http://www.soccertranslator.com/2015/04/...total.html

I doubt Sacchi's book will have an English version. I think I finally will have to learn proper Italian. There's barely enough information about our club in English.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the link, I've been meaning to read it. I would love if the book was translated, I really am curious to read it.
