Nesta: I’ve spent my entire childhood only thinking about football. When I was 7, my dad signed me up in my neighborhood’s team, Cinecittà and after a few months Roma scouts noticed me and asked my father whether I’d play for them, but dad, a major Lazio supporter, denied and after some more months I ended up playing for Lazio.
Nesta: My transfer to AC Milan was very weird; it was the last day of the transfer window and I had been attending morning training with Lazio; at some point Massimo Cragnotti (Lazio’s president at that time) called me up. I got off the pitch and he told me I had been moved to AC Milan. I could not refuse and in that evening I found myself in San Siro stadium with 60,000 supporters. It was traumatic, I did not even have time to realize what was going on.
Nesta: In the last years of my Milan career the team had changed much, both in terms of players and mostly mentality. I honestly did not feel comfortable anymore.
Nesta: I don’t think that the issue with injuries was coach Allegri, many injuries happened in the past too. I think at this moment AC Milan cannot spend as much money as they have done before, thus if you cannot spend you can’t be part of top three of Serie A.
Nesta: I played with De Sciglio during my last year in AC Milan and I believe he’s a wonderful fullback. I think he can still grow and follow in the footsteps of great Italian defenders.
