Zanetti 360 °: "That statue at the San Siro, then Mourinho, Moratti and Pele ..."

Javier Zanetti to describe adjectives are finished. And then we tell his life to him. Captain during this interview with Argentine monthly chart, which FcInterNews you back, says his experience at 360 ° to Inter, with anecdotes, memories and future. What do you think when you get to 1000 games played (it is at an altitude of 968, note)? Emotion and pride for having played so much.

Above all, I thank my father gave me this body and that allowed me to have continuity. And thanks also to my family, which is fundamental for me to be in harmony. You can devote to your career than just knowing that when you get home you find your children and your wife waiting for you.

Do not give you any problems and make you feel more comfortable. The most important goals in your career? England (World Cup '98), at Lazio in the UEFA Cup final, to Rome in 2008 or the Club World Cup? All four were important because everyone has helped to win. That allowed us to go to England on penalties and go through.

We won against Lazio the Uefa Cup. The one with the Roma was the key to winning the Scudetto. And it has helped to win the Club World Cup, the title was missing. Everyone has an important meaning. "Fatigue can not be bought," said Bielsa. Do you think the same way? Yes, exactly. Things that require the most effort are the best to get.

There are still 12 statues at the Meazza? Yes, they're made of wax and one is mine. I'm actually 12 and 12 of Inter Milan. They are the best players in the history of both clubs. When they made it, I could not believe. E 'is also quite similar to me. The haircut is the same (laughs). A nice recognition.

Why will not you become a coach? Because it would require much effort, but I'd rather be with my family. I have given so much to football and football has given so much to me. Moratti certainly will give me an important job to stay at Inter and tied so that it can be beneficial to this company.

Moratti had made an announcement asking to locate your ancestors to give Italian citizenship? Yes, it happened. Then came a lawyer and my father went to record everything. Dream of participating in a musical? You are invited to "Dancing with the Stars"? No, my dream is to sing ... I do not see us dancing.

Can you be in a good mood, 365 days a year? It 's so. You have to start the day in a positive way, enjoy. And my son is the same to me, gets up smiling and singing. My daughter is a bit 'more like his mother, with the awakening difficult. For as you are done, Maradona sure to speak with if I had the chance.

Of course, there would be no problem. It seems that no coach is able to take the legacy of Mourinho and Benitez was one of them. I think every coach coming in you have to forget what he did Mourinho. Must rely on his experience and try to win as much as possible. There are legends about how to negotiate with Moratti.

It 's so easy? Depends with whom (laughs) ... I do when I have to discuss the contract, the thing of which I speak are not the numbers. They always say that Inter is a great family. You can explain it better. For example, since I got the cook is always the same. Even the waiters are always the same.

People working in the office that the president has known for years. And in Appiano Gentile also retirees have the opportunity to do something. When we play away from home, they bring the car to the airport. When the team wins a party together and when we lose all hurt the same way. Awesome.

As a technical discourse of Mourinho? Do not leave anything to chance, learn all the details. And when you go in the field knows where to hit the rival team. In this sense it is very similar to Bielsa. What was the demonstration of affection that surprised you most during these years at Inter? It is not easy, so many things.

The other day we had a Pupi Foundation dinner and a boy, almost seven feet tall, had the image tattooed on the back of me get up in the Champions League. I could not believe. He told me that it took him five days to do so. Tremendous. He asked me to sign and it is also the signature tattooed.

"I swear that I can not believe it", he said. Well, I signed. There is a chorus of supporters that will compare to Pele? I swear I could not believe it when I have explained. But I said, "Well, guys, if you like singing, Sing." Pupi Foundation is growing? How many people benefit from your work? Now more than a thousand people.

Do you have a personal museum? Yes, I'm doing it in Italy. I have a lot of value, including a T-shirt and a Marangoni Independiente Baggio of Italy. How did you feel when you met the Pope? My legs were shaking, it was a great emotion, a unique moment. A personality that you do not see everyday.

A feeling really very nice. Burdisso, Samuel, Cruz, Cambiasso, Solari ... all quiet low-profile leader like you. Yes, many Argentines have come to Inter, with a personality quite similar to mine, who have won and left a great memory. If I can help someone, to me is pride. The fellow who made you laugh most? Were many, but I say Roberto Carlos.

Although it was only a year at Inter I really enjoyed myself with him. But it was another era, the only foreigners were two of us, and Rambert Ince.
