AC Milan centre-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Araujo-c6435 is not a traitor – Serie A Update
AC Milan centre-back, Alessandro Nesta, believes that the former Milan player and tactician, Leonardo Araujo, is not a traitor. The former Brazilian attacking midfielder left AC Milan last year on the Christmas Eve and joined their bitter rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan,
as the head coach.
Nesta reckons that it was an opportunity worth taking for Leonardo and he made the right decision when he accepted the offer to be their head coach for the remainder of the season. While talking to Sky Sports Italia, Nesta answered:
“You leave Milan and then Inter call, are you going to turn them down? It’s normal for somebody who wants to be a Coach to boss Inter if they are asked.”
The Milan veteran believes it would have been a hard decision for the former midfielder as he could see the reaction of the Diavolo fans was inevitable. Nesta believes that Hating the coach just because he wanted to pursue the coaching career is not a good
reason.
“These opportunities don’t come around every day. As far as I am concerned, Leonardo is not a traitor. Actually, he had the courage to say yes and he will always have my respect,” continued the veteran.
AC Milan have won the Serie A title this season after a drought of 7 years in the top flight. The 35-year-old has played a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitalô-c40903 role in the campaign to secure the 18th Italian top tier title. The former Italian International has agreed to sign
a one-year contract with the Rossoneri and will stay at San Siro for the next season – most likely to be his last year with the club.
“There are some important objectives ahead and I hope I am fit enough to play regularly. Obviously I want to win. When you are in the habit of winning then you never want to stop.” Nesta concluded.
AC Milan are keen to replicate this season’s performance in the next term. The men in the red and black jerseys would be looking to defend their Scudetto trophy while also launching a serious bid for the UEFA Champions League title.
