Luca Fachetti, the son of Inter legend Giacinto spoke in Inter Channel‘s programme “Memorabilia” on Monday night which took a look at his fathers career with the Nerazzurri: “It wasn’t easy being compared to him. I went down a different path because when I was young I played football for fun. Dad wanted us to do what we enjoyed in life, with hard work and dedication. It was down to them that he managed to go so far. He was obsessive about everything he did, training constantly and not leaving anything to chance. His aim was to always give everything he had and never to give up. He was an elegant player, quite tall in comparison to others from his generation. Obviously he had good genes on his side, but he took training sessions very seriously. Did I receive any advice from him? He taught me to love what you do in life, while respecting the rules and the opposition above all. In the past, the focus was more on playing football than today. At the end of the day, he was simply my dad but I’m well aware of what he meant to the world of football and beyond.”
