Inter Milan legend Giuseppe Bergomi stated in an interview that Maldini has the quality to compete for the Serie A title at Roma, and that his running style is similar to Ronaldo.

Speaking about Lautaro Martinez and Maldini, Bergomi said: "There's another top striker in Serie A. Lautaro's strength is mental, while Maldini does everything well."

When asked why Maldini is difficult to defend against, Bergomi replied: "Gasperini's strikers always manage to score, but Maldini has his own qualities. Before he arrived, he asked Gasperini, 'Will you let me play as a center forward?' Gasperini uses him exactly that way."

"I still remember his debut against Turin. He can run on different lines. He can play short passes, make deep runs, and get past defenders. With these qualities and his first touch, scoring seems easy for him."

When asked if Maldini possesses the goal-scoring ability of Batistuta, the intelligence of Vialli, the athleticism of Henry, and the match-winning character of Milito, Bergomi said: "Maldini is special and has inherited characteristics from many strikers. I'm not saying he reminds me of 'alien' Ronaldo, but his movements and physical abilities are similar to Ronaldo's."

"Maldini plays well in tight spaces, can get past defenders, make deep runs, and score with teammates. His technical qualities are very complete. In this era, even though he's not as tall as the usual 1.90m center forwards we see often, he's still excellent."

Regarding Maldini's role as a winger in England, Bergomi said: "Football always depends on various factors. The season Inter won the Champions League, we initially planned to sign Majer, but at the last minute Dias arrived and changed the team."

Speaking about each Serie A team's striker, Bergomi said: "Fiorentina's striker impressed me. AC Milan and Juventus have some difficulties in the attacking department. At Napoli, Hojland has dropped back and controls the ball excessively, but he's still a top player. I'd like to see how Como performs when Fabregas gets more playing time."

When asked if Fabregas's Como can enter the title race, Bergomi replied: "Como need to handle both matches well. But their matches are truly attractive. Generally, there's no huge gap between Inter Milan and other teams. Juventus and AC Milan have the responsibility to compete for the title, while Roma and Napoli are in good condition. Lazio also has Gattuso doing well."

Speaking about Inter Milan being two goals down but still undefeated, Bergomi said: "It's like a double-edged sword. On one hand, you feel you can't lose, but on the other hand, luck doesn't always come."

When asked if Roma is the most reliable challenger for the Scudetto, Bergomi said: "Yes. Roma has a solid defense, a physically strong midfield, and excellent strikers."

Regarding new defensive trends, Bergomi said: "Football has returned to man-marking defense. Gasperini remains the best representative of this style, and Fiorentina under Palladino is following a similar path."

Speaking about the change in Serie A's pace, Bergomi said: "Players are diving less, and they get up faster after falling, so the match pace has increased. Young teams are similar. When I was coaching the U17 team, I saw young players imitating older players—both good and bad things. I don't want this trend to change. My friend Vialli once said that football tactics are quickly becoming outdated."

Regarding whether referees should let older players continue playing and issues with penalty decisions, Bergomi said: "In my opinion, referees should make stricter decisions on fouls. Otherwise, football will become like rugby. We can't expect VAR to disappear."

Speaking about Italy's national team reintroducing young players, Bergomi said: "It's a natural cycle. After the 1974 World Cup, something similar happened. When Bernardini and Bearzot arrived, players like Gentile and Antognoni started playing. Now I'm interested in Romano, and soon we'll see Piccoli and Favasuli. The Italian team needs to experiment, and in the early stages, they should calmly accept defeats."
