The Self-Anointed New Maldini Gets His Ankles Broken

A few years back Leandro Grimi was snapped up by Milan and promptly declared that he “will become the new Maldini”. Not smart. To be fair, the rest of the quote makes it seem more hopeful than declaration, but allowing papers to excerpt “I will become the new Maldini” was never going to end well. This is the type of quote which will get you into all sorts of trouble in a place like Milan, with a legend like the real Paolo Maldini still playing.

He now plays for Sporting Lisbon, having obviously not become the new Maldini. And Stephane Sessegnon tells him what he thinks about that quote.

(Not sure if his ankles were actually broken, but his pride surely is.)
