may postpone retirement for a season

March 6 (Reuters) - Paolo Maldini may reconsider his decision to retire at the end of the season, the AC Milan captain said on Thursday.


'I'm being pushed to play another year. Three months ago I was very unfit but now I am better,' the 39-year-old defender told Sky television. 'I like this sport, I like training.'


Milan's elimination by Arsenal in Tuesday's last 16 tie had looked like Maldini's last
The one-club man, one of Milan's few good players on Tuesday, had been desperate to play in a record ninth European Cup final and pick up a sixth winners' medal.

Club president Silvio Berlusconi and chief executive Adriano Galliani want him to play another season and Maldini, who started his Milan career in 1985, is tempted.

'(They) are pushing me to continue for another year. We will see,' he said.
