Legendary former Inter goalkeeper Walter Zernga still feels a strong attachment to his time at the Nerazzurri and can clearly recall all the important moments from his Inter career.

Speaking on the official Inter podcast devoted to the club hall of fame, as reported by FCInterNews, the 61-year-old gave an account of some of the important matches during his time at the club.

Zenga spent more than a decade as the starting keeper at Inter, cementing his place as a club icon and also winning a number of major trophies while he became one of the most well-regarded Italian keepers of his generation.

Among the most shining moments of Zenga’s career was being in goal as the Nerazzurri won the Scudetto during the 1988-89 season, a campaign in which they finished with more points in the table than any Italian side had managed to up to that point.

He spoke of “Winning the Scudetto with four games to go, past the likes of Maradona, Careca and company [at Napoli]. On the other hand there were Gullit and Van Basten [at AC Milan], and then there were Vialli and Mancini [at Sampdoria].”

“Winning in this way is incredible,” he went on. “When Lothar [Mathaus] scores a goal it feels special.”

Zenga also spoke about his final game with the Nerazzurri, when he and his teammates clinched the 1994 UEFA Cup by beating Austria Salzburg in the second leg of the final at the San Siro.

“I can remember it as though it were yesterday,” he stated, “we got to the stadium and then took to the pitch, it was drizzling lightly and as we entered, the whole stadium was calling out my name.”

“They gave me great strength,” he went on, “I went into the locker room and thought, ‘I have to give these fans something special,’ and we did. I went out as a winner.”

He added that “I already knew I was leaving, and when I came onto the pitch the fans, especially the Curva, chanted my name loudly, as if to tell me that ‘we know you’re one of us.'”

“In that match they could not have scored past me even if they had a bazooka,” he joked. “Then I was asked a question and, I’m always a frank person, so when they said to me ‘Is this your last match with Inter?’ I replied ‘And so what?'”

“When you’re born an Interista like I am it is tough to choose just one match,” the former keeper reflected. “I played 473 matches for Inter and I remember each and every one.”
