Alessandro Nesta, Italy’s trusted defender, announced his retirement from International football. The 31 year old star now wants to focus playing for his club, AC Milan. "I am not going to play for the national side any more. My adventure in blue finishes here". "To play in blue has been one of the most beautiful things in my life. But I can't do it any more." Nesta said. The No.13 Azzurri player gave this declaration on Wednesday afternoon, a month after the retirement of Francesco Totti. He said that his retirement message has nothing to do with the new Italy coach Roberto Donadoni.Nesta started his career in 1993 with Lazio, and joined the national team in 1996. He played in 78 games and 3 World Cups for Italy, and was one of the members of the 2006 World Cup winning squad; although he hasn’t contributed much because of his right thigh injury which occurred during the 3rd World Cup match against Czech Republic. He joined AC Milan in 2002 and has a contract signed until 2011. The Milan star can now contribute his entire physical strength for his club in winning more tournaments like the recent Champions League. But the Italian national team will without doubt face some problems in their defense.
