MILAN - Argentina legend and 1978 World Cup champion Daniela Passarella answered
parallel questions about Alessandro Nesta and Walter Samuel on the eve of the bi
g clash between Milan and Roma. He said: 'When you concede few goals, it is than
ks to the whole team. Nesta could count on the value of team-mates [Paolo] Maldi
ni, [Marcos] Cafu and [Pippo] Pancaro. A comparison with [Franco] Baresi? Nesta
has an excellent class, but Franco has guided the defence of one of the best tea
ms in the world in the last 20 years. We have still to wait for a moment. Howeve
r, Samuel and Nesta are two extraordinary players, among the best half-backs in
the world.'
