In the book ‘Giocare da uomo’ which Javier Zanetti authored together with Gianni Riotta, the captain reveals a personal thought about Rafa Benitez who seemed uninspired when he coached Inter: “He didn’t connect with his surroundings at Inter, I don’t know why. It’s the sort of mixture of moods that can’t be merged, despite mutual respect.”
Corriere della Sera also revealed an incident from when Marcello Lippi coached Inter: “A proper scene by Marcello Lippi, a coach who’s not loved by the captain, who told the team that when he coached Juve Interisti were always afraid. The Captain then contraticted him in front of everybody.” Zanetti confirmed the incident: “With respect and openness, and I would do it again.”
