Chiellini got advice from Pirlo and Nesta for his move to LAFC
Giorgio Chiellini knows that LAFC are the ‘perfect club’ for him and insisted that he talked to Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Nesta about his move to the club.
Giorgio Chiellini
had his first press conference after penning a contract with LACF last night, saying that his ex-Italy teammates
Andrea Pirlo
and
Alessandro Nesta
suggested him the move to the MLS for the final years of his playing career.
“I am fully convinced that this club is perfect for me,”
Chiellini said.
“I spoke with Andrea [Pirlo] and Alessandro Nesta and they always talk very well about this league,” he said. “Surely, there are some differences.
“It’s a different football from the Serie A, but every team has its own style.
“This team is perfect for me because it is full of young players and they can also help me,” the former Juventus defender continued.
“It’s impossible for me to have the same physical characteristics I had 10 years ago, but I can bring something to them. We have to create a good mix of experience and enthusiasm to become a winning group.
“I don’t know what will happen in the next months, but I am sure that will be something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Los Angeles is a fantastic city that I’m very curious to live in.”
Chiellini played for Juventus for 17 seasons, contributing 19 trophies, such as nine straight Serie A titles. He departed the Bianconeri last season and had his last game with the Azzurri on June 1 against Argentina.
