zanetti 2012

In Repubblica, Gianni Mura wrote about Zanetti’s injury and the Milan supporters who made fools of themselves: “In Palermo, it was another loss for Inter which became even more bitter with the serious injury on Zanetti (Achilles tendon). It is the latest in the deletion of a season with so many mistakes and too many incidents. This with Zanetti hurts the most because he is more than a player, he is still useful at the age of 40 and is more than an exemplary captain. He is one of the last remaining standard-bearers who still swaying gracefully in a bleak landscape. He did not deserve the ridicule chants from Milan’s fans, the same fans who managed to sully Paolo Maldini’s farewell. He received, and deserved the warm applause at the Favorita when he was carried off on a stretcher, and the get well wishes he has received from everyone. The first ones were Conte and Marchisio.”
