Despite the heavy defeat, in terms of standings, suffered in the direct clash against Lecce, Monza decided to move forward with Alessandro Nesta on the bench. The doubts emerged immediately after the final whistle at Via del Mare, but according to what was gathered by TMW Adriano Galliani and the owners of the Brianza club have chosen the line of trust and continuity.
“Nesta is a monument of football, he was one of the best defenders in the world and he is a good coach, if he won this match it would be better, but his bench is solid, not safe”, Galliani himself had explained in recent days when speaking of the situation of the coach chosen for after Palladino last summer.
Before the match against Lecce, Nesta had spoken of his and the team’s moment like this: “Optimism, right up to the end. We were definitely missing something but it was always a crescendo. Even the last match, regardless of the result, I liked it , Udinese’s first and second goals are not the result of counterattacks, only the disallowed one. Unfortunately we simply misread the situation. With this type of attitude the results will come which I didn’t like there are others, for example the Empoli match at the beginning of the year I never wanted to see again. We are second to last because we didn’t score any points, that’s all there is to it when we have to win and we lacked this strength today Galliani came, we had lunch and talked about many things”.
