“My Role Model Is Paolo Maldini” Rohit Chand

“When I was a kid I really admired him. He remains my role model to this day, “said Chand as quoted by FIFA.COM official website. “For me, he is more than just the best defender ever. As I grow up, I have learned to appreciate his personality, leadership, and the highest level of Diligence,” Chand added.
