MILANELLO - Nelson Dida dropped in at Milanello today to wish Milan all the best for the upcoming season. The goalkeeper who was European champion with Milan in 2003 and 2007 spoke to Milan Channel.
“It’s a pleasure for me to return to Milanello and catch up with everybody; they all gave me a warm welcome. Being here is great."
Nelson, what does the future hold for you?
“I am waiting for a new club. I was on holiday with my family in Brazil and now I am back here in Italy. I am looking for a new club, there are a couple of offers, but nothing has been decided yet. I think I'll have to wait another couple of weeks before my future is sorted out.”
What was your feeling on your return to Milanello?
“It's great to have the chance to come back to Milanello. I've seen that some things have changed in the structure. My former team-mates are hard at work, as is usual in this phase of the pre-season. I am truly delighted to be here.
What about my compatriots Ronaldinho, Pato and Thiago Silva? I maintain that they are very important players for Milan. With them in the team, with Gattuso, with Pirlo and all the other champions, Milan are a strong side and even if no big name signings have been made, these players, who are great players, are here. I think this team will do well this year.”
Are you missing football?
“I'll always miss it. I am not doing nothing, though. Now I'll start working on my own to stay fit so if I find a team I'll be able to play straight away.”
Wow, nobody looks sexier in a rather snug T-shirt.
And he doesn't seem to have moved away from Milano after all as some of the dirtsheets had reported. However, it's going to be REALLY hard seeing him in a different uniform if and when he signs with another team.

Not until there is a change of management (B&G), he probably has seen the inner workings of the club, and probably has a pretty good reason for keeping his distance in the managerial side of things. Though as long as he makes regular appearances to San Siro during matches, I'm game!
He turns 37 today.
