One of Milan’s prominent Uncle Dudes (from the Pippo Inzaghi gang), Alessandro Nesta, scored a double against Chievo to help the Rossoneri win the game 2-1 last night. Obviously, Borriello was too busy practising his model-like poses upfront. Why else would a defender like Zio Nesta need to salvage the situation?

Also, the Rossoneri are starting to master the art of turning the game around. Good on you, Uncle Fester! At least you’re not making Leoooonardo feel molto triste now.

Speaking of the coach, he said : “About Nesta, what more can I say? He has become far more than a player for us and he’s indescribable. He needs a halo at the moment. He started this season not really knowing if he would ever play again. That is a very big thing to have in a players’ mind and it shines through in his performances, as he gives everything he’s got.

He added : “ This squad is finding its joy of playing and the more we win, the more than grows within us. Right now we are starting to find our balance, even if the games themselves are dramatic, and just looking at the way they celebrate says it all.”
