An award for fair play, fairness and respect; values that have always characterised Javier Zanetti both on and off the pitch. The captain answered questions from reporters at the award ceremony of the Cartellino Viola and the 2013 Fair Play Award this morning in Milan.
Are they going to have to use chains to keep you on the bench?
“To be honest, my first objective was to get back to a point in which I could feel useful to the team and return after a bad injury. Right now I feel great. I’m available to the coach whenever he feels it necessary to send me back on the pitch.”
What you were given today was an award for the end of your career…
“It seems like it [smiling]. But sincerely, right now the most important thing isn’t my future, but rather that of the team and qualifying for Europe at the end of this season. And then later I’ll talk with the club to see what’s best for Inter. There’s no hurry and there’s no problem with the new president, as I’ve heard some people saying. Actually there’s been a lot of dialogue going on with some serious ideas, and we’ll take stock of things at the end of the season to see what’s best for everyone.”
Have you set up an appointment yet?
“No, because there’s no rush. It’s possible that when he returns we’ll discuss it more, but right now what matters is finishing the season.”
So you only have Inter in mind and no plans regarding Mourinho?
“I immediately denied that, even though I have a great rapport with him. My bond with this club after 20 years will always be there, beyond anything that might happen in the future.”
What do you think about the situation of Inter not having been awarded a single penalty?
“It seems very odd to me. Let’s hope we have a bit more luck in our upcoming matches.”
What will you ask president Thohir?
“I have no requests, and I don’t expect anything from him, as some are saying. This situation simply doesn’t exist. Many of you have known me for years. I’m very open and always willing to do my best for this club.”
How about your relationship with Mazzarri?
“It’s very good.”
Will you say anything to Juan Jesus after the suspension?
“I’m really sorry to lose a player like him because he’s very important, especially for the games we have coming up.”

great comments, guys, i can see this site turning into goal.com 2.0
Hahaha. I like the way this Axel guy talking, and also others who replied his comments. At least these “critics war” remind me how passionately I am to loving La Beneamata. Forza Interisti. Forza Inter. Amala!
Shut the fuck up Alex. You are a fucking retard, we all know that. Stupid fuck. I Got a messages for you, it goes: ” dear Lord, please help me to keep my big mouth shut, until i know what im talking about”..
Haha, you shut your fuckin mouth up son of a bitch. I hope you will go far with your boyfriends including Mazzarri and Thohir. Short-minded, fucking losers like you do not deserve to say a single word about Inter. If you wanna criticize me, try to write down a single word about Inter and Inter-related news! But you can’t do that fuckin bastard!!!
Javier, you are so gentle and kind. I understand that you are saying these just for the sake of Inter. But the reality is Thohir has no idea to develop this club. Mazzarri has no idea to manage this team. Everybody knows it.
you don’t know anything when you talk like that, Thohir already did something in the backroom, see his interview and bussiness plan, if you hear many rumour of transfer, thats his another transfer plan.. give the guy a break, he only been a president for few months, and Mazzari’s Inter already perform much better than us expected in the beginning of the season.. Watch the match first before comments, thanks
Paolo, if you watch football and write comments like this, I regret that you were born on earth. Your Thohir said he would develop new Inter based on primavera youngsters, but all of our primavera were forced to leave. Instead your boyfriend Thohir allows your another boyfriend Mazzarri to play craps like Jonathan, Kuzmanovic, Mudingayi etc. Mazzarri is performing much better? Come on, start watching Serie B. Acknowledge that your level is ZERO, loser.
dumb agent
If i am a dumb agent, then you are a fucked up asshole!
No no, you just yourself know it!
