Alessandro Nesta

Date of birth: 19.03.76 (age 35)
Height: 1.87 m (6 ft 1 1⁄2 in)
Position: Centre back

Can't believe out of all the defenders out there Nesta didn't have his own thread yet. Don't think he needs much of introduction...

Nesta apparently still has it in him. The way he reads the game and positions himself is still amazing, despite of his lack of pace. Some of his tackles last night were absolutely stunning and SO so perfectly timed.

Class act.

We played a game that were to his strengths.

His tackles were just so fantastic.

his tackles were awesome but he knew when to foul also...for example his yellow which stopped a dangerous messi run

Milan legend, love you sandro

 

[Sergio]

Always said he was the better defender than Cannavaro and Maldini, maybe a few more of you can see why now.

 

[Plip]

Always been a huge fan of Nesta, tho.

He was one of the best defenders, if not the best out there in his prime.

 

[Aryagorn]

Class always shows against the best of the opponents and Nesta proved it again last night... What a beast

 

[woobie]

I still think he was better for Lazio than he ever was for Milan but yeah...definitely a class act and even at 35 one of the very best out there.

 

[Worms]

Best CB of last 20 years

Not that Messi had a bad game but Barca played way too relaxed. If not, then the legend and his brazilian partner were going to be ripped apart.
