My Take
What I admire most about Albertini is how quietly essential he was. In an AC Milan side overflowing with stars, he was the metronome who dictated tempo without demanding the spotlight, the kind of deep-lying playmaker whose value you only fully grasp when he is gone. That same temperament clearly carried into his second act as an administrator and sporting director, where building structures matters more than headlines. I have a soft spot for footballers who become builders of institutions rather than chasers of fame. Albertini strikes me as a man who simply wanted the whole machine to run well.
