The
long awaited Return of the King, Paolo Maldini, has finally occurred. I have a
theory as to why, and it all started with one lucky fan. He won a chance to
meet the team, but ended up meeting Gattuso instead. After that, Leonardo was
hired on. Then Higuain and Caldara came to Milan. And finally, the return of
Maldini. That is a whole lot of luck.

That
lucky fan is Ricardo, who flew to Los
Angeles from Texas just to watch the game. You can follow him on Twitter and
Instagram @Ricky7990. Who knows, maybe
some of his luck will rub off on you. In the meantime, he and I chatted about:
