Alessandro Nesta

[Ode to Django]

The great man has retired.. the most elegant footballer i ever saw.

Pleasure to watch

I loved the Milan of mid 2000s. The epitome of efficiency with Nesta beasting

I could see him taking a job at Lazio tbh.

One of the very best defenders easily, sad that this great generation has dissappeared.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Along with Roberto Ayala he was the best defender of his generation. Definitely the most elegant defender though.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Sad I didn't get a chance to go see him play after he moved to MLS. He was injured when Montreal came here.

 

[DonAK]

End of an era.

We should hire him as a defense coach

Yeah, he could teach us how to beat Milan away. Do it.

Legendary. He made defending look so easy.

Apparently he will be the new Montreal coach next season.

Definitely the best defender of all times, but he said himself that the one striker he has problems to face was Messi.

Bit hard playing Messi at the age he was when he started to encounter him though, no matter how good you are.

Definitely the best defender of all times, but he said himself that the one striker he has problems to face was Messi.

Actually it was Ronaldo (Brasil) didn't look like he had any problems with Messi in all games, infact the opposite

 

[Meitux]

Yeah he never mentioned Messi, it was Ronaldo. It doesn't surprise me tbh, at that time Ronaldo was unplayable.
