Two players supposedly very close to hanging up their boots in the summer helped put Italy's Old
Lady in a retirement home last night. Alessandro Nesta, the 33-year-old with the bad back, and
Ronaldinho, the two-time former World Player of the Year said to be now well past his best, were
simply inspirational in Milan's 3-0 win over Juventus that effectively ended the Bianconeri's
already slim chances of winning the Scudetto.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has subscribed to the idea of having Serie A fixtures
spread over a four-day week.
Reports around the peninsula on Wednesday claimed the Lega Calcio are planning to revise the
Calcio calendar from next season, with designs to stage fixtures on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and
Mondays.
