Is there life after Maldini?

Jersey number 3 is sitting there, somewhere, at Milanello.  It has been reserved to the Maldini family forever.  Of the two sons, the oldest Christian has always taking his responsibility.  He is a defender playing for Milan's youth team of boys born in 1996. Younger brother Daniel is playing as a striker with the 2001 squad.  We have been aware of his talent for a while (Eli, I give you two years to practice), but it is too early to tell what it will lead to.  The third Maldini is my cat.  He showed potential early on, but he is a whining so much that I should rename him Totti.

So we're left with young Christian for now.  I may be viewed as putting too much pressure on a 14-year old but we put our trust in the Maldinis like the yellow hat buddhists put their trust in Dhalai Lama.  And his development is becoming slightly worrying. 

Christian has been playing for successful Milan teams with very tight defenses since he was very young.  It all looked very promising.  But now Christian is at an age where he should soon be ready for the A squad, let alone the Primavera.  He will have reached the age when his dad made his Serie A debut on 8 January 2013. The youth national team should come knocking at the door.  They are, and they are asking for Cristian but Cristian without an h after the c.  Who that?

I am still to figure out whether Cristian Galliani is a relative of Adriano, can anyone help me out? Is it the offspring of Uncle Fester that is really the next one?
