At the press conference of the event Sports Movies & Tv 2024, Javier Zanetti spoke to journalists at the end of it. The Vice President of Inter spoke about Inter’s performance and the Scudetto race, also touching on Lautaro Martinez’s position in the Golden Ball rankings.
The following are his words, collected by calciomercato.it:
EMPOLI – Response to Empoli after Juve? Those are always difficult matches, then in this period we have many closely spaced games to play. It was another game to win and we had to give a significant response after the match against Juve. They continue to believe they are a competitive team, always trying to give their utmost.
SCUDETTO RACE – Napoli most dangerous rival? I know very well how Antonio Conte works, they are doing very well. But we will be there too: there are always hard-fought and important matches, both teams have great players. We want to compete till the end for the championship.
CHAMPIONS AND GOALS CONCEDED – Inter can compete to go all the way in all the competitions it faces. Goal difference between league and cup? We’re working on this aspect, the players are aware that they need to improve and they work every day so that this doesn’t happen again.”
GOLDEN BALL – I think we all expected a better position for Lautaro. However, these awards are like that, he should stay calm because he has all the possible recognition from Inter and the Argentine national team, given all that he has done and won. We at Inter love him very much and we are always by his side.
