MILAN – "Yes, I am a little older but I feel fine!" said Javier Zanetti on Sky Sport Italia, in a telephone interview on his 38th birthday, as he enjoyed a few days off with his wife Paula and children Ignacio and Sol. Zanetti, who was born on 10 August 1973 in Buenos Aires, explained that he has always felt "very Italian and I have always been very grateful to your country, where I was welcomed with open arms and I have never forgotten that."
The captain, in the interview, ran back over his career and told us: "There have been many important, wonderful episodes, but there have been troubled times too. I have always had faith in the great Inter family and the Moratti family. And I have always believed in our fans. Recently we have been having the success we deserved and let's hope it goes on like that. One thing I'll never forget, for example, is winning the UEFA Cup in Paris, when I scored probably my favourite of those few, but important, goals I have scored. Then obviously I'll never forget the night in Madrid when I had the honour of raising the Champions Cup as captain, which was really special. I'm really proud of having decided to stay at Inter for my whole career, in spite of receiving offers from other big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid: I was on the verge of deciding, but in all sincerity, it has always been my intention to stay at Inter, in the knowledge that our day would come, as it did. It's also special to reach these levels. It's a privilege to be captain at a club with such a great history as ours and to have known and worked with someone like Giacinto Facchetti, who was a point of reference for me and who always gave me advice that I still carry with me today."
Zanetti was then asked for a comment on the transfer market rumours surrounding in particular Samuel Eto'o and Wesley Sneijder: "In all these years," replied the captain, "the club has done everything in its power to be competitive and we've shown it. From what I have heard and read that's what the market is about. It's up to the club to decide. We are talking about two great players who have contributed a lot to Inter. I'm sure the club will do all in its power to make the team competitive at high levels, as it always has in these last years."
The captain was also asked about Carlos Tevez: "A great striker, that's all I know. We'll see what the club does and then we'll decide."
Another inevitable question was one about the 2006 Scudetto: "I honestly cannot believe that certain issues are still coming up: we are getting on with life as we did before."
During the telephone interview Inter's competitors in Serie A and in Europe come up in the conversation: "In Italy I think our biggest problems will come from AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli and the two teams from Rome, so it should be a competitive and well-balanced championship. The competition will be tough but we'll be ready to aim at important targets. In Europe the main danger will come from Barcelona and Real Madrid, but there will be some other teams too so it will be a real battle this season."
If Zanetti had to choose between Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Milito and Eto'o, to decide which of them was the best striker he had played with: "All four are great strikers and all I'm saying is I can only thank football for giving me the opportunity to play with these four superb footballers."
Then the conversation turned to Gian Piero Gasperini, of whom the captain said: "He is a very intelligent person and coach, with clear ideas in his head. We have a great relationship and the team is fully behind him, it'll just take some time to get more used to his style of football."
Finally, the interview concludes with Argentina and the comparison between Maradona and Messi: "Now Argentina have to work hard and believe in the talent they have: we went out on penalties and didn't deserve to lose in the Copa America, but that's all under the bridge now, and we're thinking about the future. Maradona was unique, but what Messi is doing is at the same level. At the moment Lionel is the best in the world."

萨内蒂：和国际米兰在一起，这就是我的人生
8月10日米兰消息 - “是的，我年龄有点儿大了，但我感觉很好！”意大利天空体育通过电话采访庆祝萨内蒂38岁生日，他这几天与妻子葆拉、孩子伊格纳西奥和索尔一起休息。“我一直觉得自己非常意大利化，感谢你们的国家，大家都对我很好，我永远忘不了。”
国际米兰队长在采访中回顾职业生涯：“有很多重要的、精彩的片段。也有过糟糕的时刻。我一直信任伟大的国际米兰大家庭和莫拉蒂家族。我一直信任我们的球迷。这些年我们得到了应有的成功，希望能继续下去。我最难忘的时刻之一是在巴黎赢得欧洲联盟杯冠军，我进了一个自己最喜欢的、最重要的球。当然，我也忘不了在马德里作为队长举起冠军杯的那一夜，太特别了。我非常骄傲地决定在国际米兰结束职业生涯，尽管巴塞罗那和皇马等大俱乐部曾经邀请过我。我曾经到过做出决定的边缘，但我的内心一直愿意留在国际米兰，我知道属于我们的时代终将到来，事实也是如此。能达到这样的高度非常特别。能在这家拥有伟大历史的俱乐部担任队长是我的荣幸，还能与法切蒂等殿堂级人物共事，他总是给我建议，我至今还遵从。”
对于埃托奥和斯内德的转会传闻，萨内蒂评价道：“多年来，俱乐部一直尽力保持球队的竞争力，我们也证明了这一点。从我读到、听到的东西来看，最终是由俱乐部来决定。我们谈的是两名伟大的球员，为国际米兰做出很大贡献。我相信俱乐部能够让球队保持高水准，就像过去多年一样。”
萨内蒂还被问到特维斯：“他是个伟大的前锋，这就是我所知道的。我们将看看俱乐部要做什么，再做决定。”
另一个不可避免的问题是2006年意甲冠军。“我很难相信这样确切的事情仍然在纠结中，我们还是像以前一样生活。”
国际米兰新赛季的联赛和欧冠竞争对手？“在意甲，我认为最大的对手来自AC米兰、尤文图斯、那不勒斯和罗马的两支球队，联赛中的球队很有竞争力，将是均衡的形势。比赛有难度，但我们准备好瞄准重要的目标。在欧洲，最主要的威胁来自巴塞罗那和皇马，但也有其他球队，欧冠将是真正的战斗。”
罗纳尔多、伊布、米利托和埃托奥，这四人都与萨内蒂做过队友，哪一个是最佳前锋？“四人都是伟大的前锋，我能说的只是感谢足球，让我有机会与这四位超级球员同场竞技。”
话题转向加斯佩里尼，队长说：“他是个非常聪明的教练，思路很清楚，我们关系非常好，球队全力支持他，只需要一些时间去适应他的足球风格。”
最后是关于阿根廷队以及马拉多纳和梅西的比较，萨内蒂说：“现在阿根廷队必须努力，相信自身拥有的才华，我们是点球出局，不应该被淘汰出美洲杯，但现实就是如此，我们需要考虑未来。马拉多纳是独一无二的，但梅西正在做的与马拉多纳在同一水准。目前梅西是世界最佳。” |
