Good blood does not lie. The path for Daniel Maldini was already traced, and it could not have been otherwise with a grandfather like Cesare and a father like Paolo. A family of legends, not just footballers. The road is still long for Daniel but the numbers this season are very promising.

In the Serie A match between Monza and Cagliari, it was indeed Daniel Maldini who made the decisive mark with a masterpiece on a free kick, worthy of the glorious surname he carries on his back (the second goal of the Maldini family against Ranieri's Cagliari after that of father Paolo in 1991). A goal that opened up the game at the 41st minute, gifting the victory to Raffaele Palladino's team. The class of 2001 is finding consistency in performances, something he had long sought in previous Serie A experiences with Spezia first and then with Empoli. After a first part of the season characterized by physical problems, in this second part he is playing consistently and the results are arriving unequivocally.

Daniel Maldini's numbers this season

Daniel has made 13 appearances with the Monza jersey this season (4 as a starter, 9 as a substitute). The breakthrough came in the last month where the son of the art has collected 3 goals and an assist in the last 5 games (in 136'), which have been worth 4 wins out of 5 for the club from Brianza. The light turned on against what for him is home, Milan, with an important assist for Colombo's goal. In the following match he opened the scoring against Salernitana (coming off the bench).

Without scoring against Roma, he then decided the match at Marassi against Genoa, here too coming off the bench. Not the only winning goal, since today he repeated against Cagliari, this time taking advantage of the opportunity as a starter. Perhaps with the most beautiful goal of his still brief career in Serie A, a gem on a free kick that beat Scuffet. The numbers are now on his side. Now it is up to him to confirm himself in the next matches, fueling the dream of Europe for Monza.
