"I have played soccer for more than 20 years with rich experience, I am delighted to have this platform, I hope I can bring Italian soccer elite to China," the 2006 World Cup winning member said.

Nesta, formly of AC Milan, also talked about the predicament that his old owner now faced, and thought there was only a little chance for them to move up to the third place and march into the Champions League next season.
