Ok guys it's time to face the cold hard truth, I would not even put Nesta in the top 10 central class defenders in the world right now. His form this year, and late last year, has dropped a few notches and I think it's in part due to his age which is 29. Now I know defenders can go beyond that, nobody proves that better than Maldini, but to retain that form, many trainners say you have to almost double your trainning effort to stay in the same shape you were in your early 20's. Somethign that I don't think Nesta has done, by his own admission he tells people that on his days where he dosen't train with Milan, he sleeps in until 1 in the afternoon.
I actually really think that Nesta does have a vidio game addiction, that although might not have caused his earlier injury, that coupled with his laziness to step up trainning might account for his dip in form.
We are so lucky he did not give a penalty away int hat SHalke game as he clearly tugged the shirt of one player when he was dribling inside the box.
