AC 4Eva: The Ultras Behavior

Now that its out in the open I was wondering why the Ultra’s would mock Maldini like that. I unlike others have connections, like Italian cousins in the Milan Ultras. Now from what I’ve heard these are some theories to why they have mocked him.

My cousins assured me it wasn’t Milan Ultras but Inters posing as Milans and that they snuck in and then called out Baresi to Maldini.
After the 2005 Champions League final, the Ultras were asking for Dida’s head and that Maldini then turned to them and called them a bunch of animals who did not deserve to see Milan. These some fans then waited all these years to extract their revenge.
The Milan Ultras went to Silvo to ask for their tribute to Paolo but were denied and then decided to take a stance against the Milan board by showing them that no player or person is bigger than Milan.
Giancarlo Capelli, known better as ‘Il Barone’ (the Baron), has come out and said, “The Curva did not insult Maldini the player, who was a great champion and made us win everything, the Curva insulted Maldini the person.He knows very well what he said about us in the past years, and what did he expect, that we celebrate him?”

I’m not really sure what theory is true but I’m more than willing to believe my cousins. I fully support Maldini and feel for him when he says his disappointed in his fans behaviour but also the club for not protecting him properly. “What disappointed me? The club’s silence. I did not like the fact that they didn’t take a stance. There was not even one comment, from the president to the bottom. The directors didn’t say one word.”

In my view any other day he would have scuffed that off like nothing, but that day, that match, that time, on THAT lap, when he is overcome with emotion, letting his guard down that’s when they choose to do it. Cheap shot. To me like most Milan fans he will always stay in our hearts and I will forever consider him one of the best players ever, I just hope he can win this week or at least in the future be properly appreciated.
