      He did occasionally move to CB even in his mid-20’s.
      For instance in the 1994 WC after Baresi got injured in the group stage, Maldini took over both the captains armsband and CB role until Baresi returned in the final. Then they paired up as CB’s to shut down Romario & Bebeto.

When he kicked the penalty in the Neitherland vs Italy euro 2000 semifinal he didn’t choose till the last second how to kick the penalty, right or left foot. He was a machine, a complete athlete.

    Well, Bobo Vieri hosts a podcast with Nicola Ventola, Antonio Cassano and Daniele Adani. Once in a while they do also invite people in those podcasts, and like that they had once Ronaldo. Ronaldo and Vieri were in their prime in the 90s and as strikers they were remembering the defenders of the good old days. Their memories were fixed on Maldini and to Pietro Vierchowod. I remember also a Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Milan, at the end of the match, another great defender, Philip Lahm, went to Maldini for an autograph, and of course the captain obliged. Those things show you how great Maldini is, and I'm not even a Milan fan.

    When someone asks me who I think is the goat of football, I don't debate between Messi and Ronaldo in my head. I debate between Zizou and Maldini.
    Maldini was and probably still is the greatest defender to grace the pitch. The man had everything both physically and mentally. He's won pretty much everything at a club level, and he totally deserved at least one balon d'Or over the course of his career. It's a shame he wasn't part of the 2006 Italy squad, the world cup missed out on being picked up by one of the greatest footballers to ever live.

    In my Opinion Paolo Maldini is the Best Centerback of all time no matter what defenders will come up in the modern football. i sadly did not got to watch his matches back then because i was not born back then but i always watch Videos about him i own Jerseys of him and he is the reason why i am a proud centerback on my local Team.

    Not just feared, but he is the most loyal, well respected Defender and footballer ever. He rarely resorted to dirty tactic, if ever, even when faced with a striker at Ronaldo Nazario caliber. The only other defender that's almost his equal in Maldini era were Cannavaro and Hierro.

He also hard tackle and wanted to start a fight both Roy Keane and Eric Cantona on the same pitch but neither men engage with him fearing the worst as yet to come and instead walk away.

I just called a 50yo friend of mine and asked him what was maldini's best foot and his answer was "the left one"! He watched the whole maldini's career and it was his normal conclusion but maldini is fundamentally a right footed human with exceptional ability, through work put, on his left.

It was clearly a joke.
      Seriously, I understand fanboying, but you're talking about someone who faced the absolute best players of 3 generations, including people who are still consided the best ever (Maradona, Platini, Ronaldo (Nazario), Zidane, just to name a few) and gave them all a very hard time, do you really think he would have been scared of facing Messi so much he considered himself lucky to not have to play against him?

Gattuso doesn't say a single word and just walks away head down. That's aura, that's leadership.
