Maldini says he 'was dead in 10 mins' when he trains after recovery from virus

Paolo Maldini overcame the disease caused by the new coronavirus and recounted the physical consequences it has left him.

Maldini assured that, after recovering from COVID-19, his body still suffers from the consequences of the disease. During a conversation with Javier Zanetti, organized by Sky Sport, the ex-star of Milan pointed out that his age was not a problem, but the damage that the virus left on his body.

“It is hard to start again. Today I tried to do something else in the gym, but after ten minutes I was dead. And not because I'm 52 years old,” said Maldini during the conversation with the Argentine.

The Milan legend and his son, Daniel, tested positive for the COVID-19. Both quarantined to overcome the disease and not infect the rest. According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, both recovered on Wednesday, April 8, but neither confirmed anything so far.
