Nesta hopes to make contributions to Chinese football

Italian football star Alessandro Nesta expressed his bid to improve Chinese football level as he came to Beijing to participate in a teenager football trainning programme.

"I have played football for more than 20 years with rich experience, I am delighted to have this platform, I hope I can bring Italian football elite to China," the 2006 World Cup winning member said.

Nesta, formly of AC Milan, also talked about the predicament that his old owner now faced, and thought there was only a little chance for them to move up to the third place and march into the Champions League next season.

"Due to the entire economic conditions of Europe, both of Inter and Milan have surplus money to introduce good players, this is the root of the problem," he said.

It is Nesta's second time to China, he has claimed the 2011 "Super Cup" with Milan in China's national stadium "Bird's Nest". And he didn't play down the prospect of becoming a coach in China just like his former teammate in Italy natioal side Fabio Cannavaro, he said: "Why not? Just call me."

Nesta, tipped as the best defender in the football history annoucned his retirement in 2013.
