ALESSANDRO NESTA, the defender of AC Milan, says that a return to Italy national team is very unlikely, as he quashes Roma’s Burdisso suggestion about the no-penalty. The player also believes that Kaka scares of AC Milan.
The Rossoneri face Real Madrid tonight. A clash between the nine-time Champions League champions against the seven-time Champions League champs, an encounter no-one should ever miss.
The best Milan player this season is Alessandro Nesta. The Italian has been doing a very good job so far, and he’s the main reason to Milan’s league points.

“I never bet, not even on the defense and I don’t do them today on the goals that Real could score against Milan,” Nesta told the press in the press-conference at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Nesta returned from an injury in the summer. He had picked up many injuries during his career, but he seems very good now.
“I had many returns, this is the seventh one and I hope that it’s the last one. I’m happy to have returned and especially to be fine. I knew I would make it,” the player said.
Italy national team have qualified to the 2010 South Africa World Cup. Many voices suggested Nesta to make a return to the national team after quitted in 2006 after the World Cup, in which he was injured.
“Surely no, I confirm my choice,” the 33-years-old told. “I will always side for Italy. With Lippi I have a very nice rapport, but I have already taken my decision.”
AC Milan beat A.S. Roma on Sunday night. There are still many things to improve. The Rossoneri won a penalty when Alessandro Nesta failed in the penalty box. Ronaldinho sent the ball in and made it 1-1. However, Roma’s Burdisso declared that Nesta told him he did not commit a foul.
“I never told Burdisso that I didn’t commit the foul, for me the foul was there,” he added.
The center-back continued to talk about Kaka, who said he must win Milan tonight. Kaka is very quick and he will be the main obstacle since C. Ronaldo got injured.
“Kaka knows us, he fears us, because he knows that in the Champions League we have always done well. It will be a pleasure to play against him. We will be looking forward to see him. We know that Ricky is quick, it’s true we know that, but those like him are unpredictable players.”
Real Madrid’s Raul and AC Milan Filippo Inzaghi are having their own match about the top Champions League scorer. Neither of them is making too much noise out of that, but it is special and important for them.
“Pippo never made me a promise, but I know that he cares a lot about his record. Raul is similar to Pippo, they are players for inside the penalty area where they can be more cunning than others,” Nesta added.
