Milan Defender Alessandro Nesta Hails His Partnership With Thiago Silva

nesta13 — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:32:26 GMT

The Rossoneri centre-back is confident he and his partner will be able to stop the leaky defence...

Milan are looking to challenge for the Scudetto this season and defender Alessandro Nesta has praised the back-line, in which he will partner Brazilian Thiago Silva.

"Thiago is a very strong defender. He is physically powerful, has a great personality, and is equipped with excellent technical qualities," the player said of his partner in central defence, according to Goal.com Italia.

"The understanding is improving and the Brazilian will help this Milan side towards perfection."

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old, echoing many of his team-mates, found the club's pre-season matches in the United States to be a hindrance.

"The tour in the United States was exhausting," the former Lazio star continued.

"Especially for me, as I returned from a season that was very complex. I needed to train with different methods."

The veteran spent almost the entire 2008-09 campaign on the sidelines, suffering from back and knee problems, but has been one of the Rossoneri's best performers during the pre-season.

Milan Defender Alessandro Nesta: It’s Nice To Be Back

nesta13 — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:31:08 GMT

The 33-year-old centre-back is ready to put his injury nightmare behind him.

Alessandro Nesta was pleased to pass unscathed through Milan’s friendly match with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and can finally see the light at the end of his injury tunnel.

The former Lazio man was a mere spectator last season and only made a brief cameo in a friendly against Tirana in October, struggling with chronic back problems before eventually going under the knife in February.

“I am happy because I feel good,” Nesta told the Rossoneri’s official website after playing 45 minutes against David Beckham’s side.

“I know who I was before the injury and [to reach that level is] my first objective now. I need to rediscover a bit of strength, but I am working on it.”

Milan drew 2-2 with the Galaxy, with the hosts' Alan Gordon and Bryan Jordan cancelling out Milan's Thiago Silva and Filippo Inzaghi strikes.

“The Galaxy have proved to be a good team, regardless of what is said about them,” said Nesta.

“It’s too bad we conceded from a set-piece. Sometimes we really need to get those centimeters we are missing, particularly on these occasions.”

Stadio Franchi

There was joy all round, as Milan reached the Champions League, waved goodbye to Paolo Maldini and Fiorentina fans still celebrated an impressive fourth place.
So much was at stake in this final round, as a win with two clear goals would send the Viola into the Champions League directly, pushing the Rossoneri into the preliminary round. It was also Paolo Maldini's final match and the Stadio Franchi crowd prepared a tribute to him before kick-off.
Alessandro Nesta returned to the squad for only the second time this season, but was not fit to play. Massimo Ambrosini sat out a ban with the sidelined Christian Abbiati, Marco Borriello, Kakha Kaladze and Daniele Bonera. Fiorentina had Felipe Melo and Dario Dainelli suspended, plus Adrian Mutu, Mario Alberto Santana, Sergio Almiron and Emiliano Bonazzoli injured.
Milan were undefeated in Florence since November 20 2005, but came face to face with their former flop Alberto Gilardino. It was Gila who had the first chance with a scuffed left-foot finish, but Marek Jankulovski's snapshot took a double deflection to skim the upright.
Franco Semioli nodded a Manuel Pasqual cross off target and Gilardino's header also skimmed the target, but on 24 minutes Mathieu Flamini's screamer thumped the top of the crossbar.
Sebastien Frey got down to parry a Gianluca Zambrotta snapshot. There was controversy on 41 minutes when Gilardino fell under pressure from Giuseppe Favalli, but the referee had a very clear view and waved away penalty appeals.
Jankulovski fired another promising shot over the bar, but Zambrotta needed some desperate defending after Nelson Dida hesitated in coming off his line.
There was a scare on 47 minutes when a Frey goal kick was knocked down for Gilardino, whose shot with the outside of his right foot shaved a coat of paint off the far post.
Milan broke the deadlock with a potentially decisive goal this season. Alessandro Gamberini did very well to stop Pippo Inzaghi connecting with the cross from six yards, but the clearance turned into an assist for Kaka right behind them.
Now Fiorentina needed to score three goals to reach third place. A chaotic move nearly made it 2-0, as Inzaghi tried to set up David Beckham, then dribbled between three Viola jerseys to drill over under pressure from Gamberini.
Pato scored the only goal when these two teams last met and he was on target again. The Duck sprung the offside trap on Kaka's through ball and waltzed round defenders to chip Frey.
In stoppages the Stadio Franchi gave a standing ovation to Maldini as he left the pitch for the last time and was buried in embraces from his teammates. Alessandro Nesta also made his debut this season after back problems.

Fiorentina: Frey; Comotto, Gamberini, Zauri, Pasqual (Kuzmanovic 70); Donadel, Montolivo; Semioli, Jovetic (Jorgensen 64), Vargas (Gobbi 64); Gilardino

AC Milan Defender Nesta Returns To Full Training

nesta13 — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:21:00 GMT

The ex-Lazio player is now able to train with the rest of the Rossoneri squad...

AC Milan defender Alessandro Nesta has returned to full training alongside his team-mates, according to the Rossoneri's official website.
The former Italian international has been struggling with injury since the end of last season and has not made an official appearance for the club in over a year.
The 33-year-old centre-back has been doing specific recovery exercises since late February, but now appears to be moving back to full fitness as he took part in his first full training session in quite some time on Tuesday.
Recently, the Italian press had suggested the player may retire due to his injury problems, but the player quickly denied those stories and indicated he wanted to be back on the pitch as soon as possible.
Nesta has appeared in the UEFA Team of the Year four times and made over 350 appearance in Serie A. Despite his recovery, it is unlikely he will be risked during the final two matches of the 2008-09 campaign.

Milan Stopper Alessandro Nesta: I Will Not Retire

nesta13 — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:28:57 GMT

The defender is determined to come back for his side, scoffing at retirement suggestions...

Alessandro Nesta is determined to return to action sooner rather than later for Milan, shooting down rumours of retirement due to a back problem.
The stopper has been hampered by a back injury and he went under the knife to cure the problem in February. Although he has been recovering well, a number of voices in Italy claimed he was considering hanging up his boots. However, Nesta is focussed on wearing them once again, rubbishing the talk.
"Will I retire? That is bad talk, and I will prove it," Nesta told Sportmediaset.it.
"I am convinced that I will return to playing. If it's not this season then it will be the next."
Nesta has been training with the rest of the squad and he took part in a mini-match at Milanello earlier this week. He has not played since October, when he featured in a friendly in Albania.
Milan will be hoping the defender recovers completely for next season's adventure in the Champions League. The Rossoneri can secure second place this weekend by beating Udinese.

Milan’s Transfer Drive Will Depend On Borriello And Nesta’s Recovery - Ancelotti

nesta13 — Sun, 10 May 2009 10:41:51 GMT

The Rossoneri’s summer strategies have not yet been drawn as the club is waiting to see how their injury-riddled pair progress.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted that his team’s transfer efforts will depend a lot on the recovery of two important players: Alessandro Nesta and Marco Borriello.
If the two Italians manage to recover properly, then the Rossoneri might not have to look around for a new defender and attacker, according to Ancelotti.
“Losing important players like Nesta, Borriello and [Gennaro] Gattuso was penalising for our season and also the absence of Kaka was felt, because without him we lose velocity, dynamism and unpredictability,” explained the former Juventus coach to Milan Channel.
“The transfer market of next season will depend on Borriello and Nesta’s recovery. Our priority is that we must recover Borriello at 100 per cent, because if he will be fine, then he will surely score more than ten goals next season.
“Mentally, Nesta is serene and calm. Physically, he is making small steps forward. We have time until August 31 to evaluate his condition.
“In the next days he will start to make some work with the squad and then during the summer he will have a specific program so then he can take part in the summer training camp with the squad. With Nesta and Thiago Silva the defence for next year is fixed.”
