Former Inter forward Goran Pandev has revealed that he will be forever thankful to Inter for what they done for him.
“I will always thank Inter, who were the club that brought me to Italy and made me become a man. My experience at the Nerazzurri was fantastic, but I also had great moments at Napoli and Lazio, where I started to make myself known and appreciated in Italy,” he remarked in an interview with the online edition of Italian daily newspaper Il Giornale.
Pandev proceeded to discuss the famous treble win that he played a part in at Inter in the 2009/10 season.
“The treble was certainly the greatest moment of my career. Winning the Champions League is the dream of any footballer, and winning it together with Serie A and the Italian Cup made it even more unforgettable. We did something that will hardly be repeated by someone else.”
He then spoke on former Barcelona player Bojan Krkic downplaying what Inter did in the second leg of the semi final against them the year they won the Champions League.
“I don’t think I have to answer him, they all know about the great sacrifices we made in that game.”
Pandev proceeded to speak on former Inter manager Jose Mourinho and former president and owner Massimo Moratti.
“The Portuguese was like a father to me, he created a truly united group and that led us to victory. He is also someone who tactically speaking is very prepared. He is certainly one of the most great managers.
“Moratti? I could say a thousand things about the President so I will limit myself to two simple words that I think sum him up, at least in part and those words are generosity and passion.”
The veteran, who is currently on the books at Genoa, first joined Inter as an 18-year-old back in 2001 and spent three years with the club before leaving for Lazio.
The Macedonian returned to the club in the Summer of 2009 and had another three year spell with the club and all in all he made 69 appearances, in which he scored eight goals and provided 15 assists for his teammates.
