   SEOGWIPO, South Korea, June 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Cesare Maldini was
looking forward to returning to his old job at AC Milan after
coaching Paraguay to the second round of the World Cup.
   "I am happy about the job I did at Paraguay. The players are
very professional and did well to get this far. But now I go back
to Milan," the Italian coach said.
   At 70 the oldest coach in the tournament, Maldini will return
to his role as Milan's chief talent scout. The former Italy coach
said Paraguay played well against a very strong German side, but
probably deserved to lose 1-0.
   "It was a very balanced game until the end. There had been no
major goal-scoring opportunities from either side until that run
on the right and that great goal from (Oliver) Neuville," Maldini
said.
   Known for his defensive approach to the game, Maldini said he
expected Germany to play as it did. "This is Germany. They may not
be particularly strong technically, but they are very strong
physically," he said.  Enditem
