Javier Zanetti spoke at a press conference unveiling an Inter Academy in Cordoba, in his native Argentina: “It feels great to represent Inter in the country of my birth, Inter Academy is a very important project, which is growing all the time, from China to Argentina, Brazil, Japan and Saudi Arabia. It will soon operate in other countries too with the aim of developing young people who love football. First and foremost, however, the scheme trains local coaches who can then pass on the Nerazzurri’s first-rate youth development methodology. All this is done whilst sharing the values of sport, as the project develops not only footballers but human beings. These values are shared by our partner club at Inter Academy Cordoba, Deportivo Atalaya. It’s wonderful to see how much the youngsters enjoy being able to play football in their homeland near their parents. It’s fantastic to watch them dream, as is helping them. That’s what we’ll do here in Cordoba, along with the support of governor Juan Schiaretti and mayor Ramon Mestre. We’ve met with them and they’re fans of the work we do. In my role as vice president, I’m honoured to represent the team I love here in Argentina, as well as around the world, where Inter boast 250 million fans keen to see a successful club. Our majority shareholder Suning are working very hard to bring our supporters the success they deserve. Suning have grand designs and they will produce results. Indeed we’re already starting to see some. The owners have big targets and we will achieve great things – just what Inter deserve. Inter and Argentina have historic ties and so many Argentinian players have represented the Nerazzurri. There are players who made history at the club and the current crop, led by Mauro Icardi, will write other significant chapters going forward. Mauro is playing very well and we are sure that if he maintains his form, he will not only win trophies but also earn a call-up to the Argentina national team. I’m sure that he deserves his chance and he will get it. Soon. He’s one of the best around. He’s ready and he’s been showing that for some time.”
