Javier Zanetti, Inter’s legendary captain and current vice president has backed Andrea Ranocchia as the current captain of Inter after yesterday’s mistake that drove the Nerazzurri faithful to get angry with the Italian defender.
“Andrea is calm, he’s a great professional and mistakes can happen, what counts is having the strength to overcome these moments, Andrea must feel comfortable because he has great values and is a great professional, these things can happen in a game, and it won’t be the last time. It happened to me several times in my long career. The important thing is having the strength to recover, I’m sorry about yesterday, because we played a great game but came away with a bad result.”
“Mancini is a great Coach, and we’re all confident in everything he does, I think Mancio has great ability, these bad spells can happen, what makes a great team is overcoming them, if the lads succeed they’ll become stronger, we have regrets about the results, the lads are committed and working in a professional way but the win just isn’t coming.|”
“Sunday will be a difficult game against Palermo, but we just need a win to really make a breakthrough.”

He is professional or not we have to get rid of it
but he never recover
I don’t give a F about this… I just don’t understand, why my eyes seeing that the captain of Inter is this guy…
Nevermind if he not making mistake now, he’ll sure will do it later… We lost so many points because of this guy and also all silly chain of costly error game after game… No one can’t deny that….
Dear most awesome capitano, this isn’t rano’s first mistake. Thank you
The important thing is having the strength to recover, as Zanetti said.
FORZA INTER!
Meanwhile Javier Zanetti..
Are u drunk mr zanett
how can you blame ranocchia for this mistake? i am not a fan of ranocchia because he lacks speed. but this mistake is not his fault. medel and juan need to watch higuain in this situation. medel just passes higuain over to ranocchia while ranocchia is not yet back in position. so it’s medel’s fault. besides this juan should have covered this situation.
True, people should have covered.
Still, it’s an amateur mistake (can’t deny that, can you?), shouldn’t happen to a professional, not in the 94th minute of such an important match.
The final ingredient in the recipe is that it’s not his first mistake that’s been so costly for us. We’ve conceded tons of goals because of him this season. The message is that he really needs to go, or at least be benched, an emergency option much like Andreolli is right now. His quality merits no more than that.
i absolutely deny that this is ranocchia’s mistake. watch the goal online a couple of times and you will see it. medel just burst forward. medel is the one who is making the mistake
Why is Ranocchia so far ahead anyway? Positionally speaking it’s his duty to make sure the opposition CF is under control.
He just had to hit that ball mate, Mancini is playing a high pressing system, he’s just way too slow for that. JJ can make a mistake, but more often than not he goes back and is good enough to make it right in the same situation.
mancini makes these desicions, with high balls ranocchia must trie to win the header, and medel takes over his position as a CB. he must stay there till they can make the switch back. obviously medel didn’t wait for the right moment. and if you look at the goal, the only one who is anticipating a move from higuain is ranocchia. if medel and juan just followed higuain nothing would have happend
it’s almost like medel and juan forgot that you can’t be offside with a throw in
That does make sense.
Doesn’t change the fact that I think we’ve had enough of him and that giving him the armband has been the biggest mistake among many we’ve made in recent years. I think this perception is what causes most people to look for the problem in him, not elsewhere.
also i’m not a big fan of ranocchia but he reads the play a lot better than Juan. Juan can compensate this with his incredible speed, strenght and determination, but i think that if want to have a role in italy and especially europe we need to change both juan jesus and ranocchia. We already got murillo, and i hope he is what we need, as i dont know him.
Ranocchia and our worst defender
You and a worm Like Ranocchia why inter today and horrible club because of fans like you
he is guilty or not he should leave! nter the way he was horrible caiur see it in one league champios rorrivel defender as he
It is in these instances alone that Javier disappoints me. He’s always too soft on everyone. As long as we’re like this with players like Ranocchia, we will suffer mistakes that will cost us dearly, as it was the case against Napoli yesterday and as it has been many times before with this guy.
Rano used to be pretty decent. But ever since he got the captain armband he started playing like handicapped david luiz.
Not really true, he’s always been shit since he joined, though he did have brief periods of time where he was excellent. For example, first half of the season under Stramaccioni, he was fantastic alongside Samuel, then got injured and when he came back it was like he’d never played football before.
The most disappointing part about this is that up till the 93rd minute I couldn’t believe my eyes.. I mean Rano was actually having a GOOD match for a change.. And then all my dreams got shattered with less a minute to ET. I’m sorry, but whether Medel was supposed to cover Higuain or not does not exempt Ranocchia from making such an amateur mistake, with 1 minute to go and in such an important match, WHILE BEING THE CAPTAIN. If I don’t see a Vidic-Juan CB duo against Palermo I swear i’ll go mad.
for god’s sake i just want to see one match without error from him… just one match!
last night it was like “ok u got it. he played a decent match at last.” and then in 93rd minute…!!!!
What? He was shit. Which game did you watch, a sample of Ranocchias good moments in a youtube clip?
Sorry Pupi, but the only thing that this lazy bitch can do is making mistakes.
