Nesta: Before I left Milan, I told Thiago Silva that he would be better than me

Milan star Nesta was interviewed on the podcast "Passa dal BSMT" and talked about Thiago Silva, his younger brother who joined him when he was playing for Milan.

Nesta said: "When I left the team, I told Thiago Silva: 'You will be better than me in the future.' He is really good."

"When he first came to us, he had tuberculosis in Moscow and almost died. Milan bought him, and almost no one knew him at that time. He looked good in training and only played two games. After the game, I went to Galliani and said, 'This guy is too strong. '"

"Thiago Silva extended my career. If I played for three more years, it was his credit."

Thiago Silva joined Milan in 2009, and Nesta worked with him for three years. Both left Milan in 2012.
