In the past few hours, the vice president of Inter, Javier Zanetti, was interviewed in Argentina by Clank. The former Nerazzurri captain spoke about last season, which ended without titles: “Balance is always needed. Last year we didn’t win any titles, but the season was very positive economically: Champions League final, World Cup. These are resources we need to face the new season. We are always looking for competitiveness and for 4-5 years we have been succeeding. Europa League finals, league titles. We are always very close, sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. You always have to maintain the sporting level and the growth of the club.”
Later, Zanetti also spoke about the value of his compatriot Lautaro Martinez , who inherited the captain’s armband from him: “Lautaro has a great sense of belonging, he is doing well at the club. His journey makes me very happy. He reminds me of when I started. Post-World Cup interview? It all happened very quickly. The match ends and he has the microphone. They posted a photo with Calhanoglu, things are resolved by talking. Now we are all focused on the new season.”
Finally, the vice president of Inter spoke about the choice of Chivu instead of Inzaghi: “First of all, talking with the president, the sporting director, we needed a profile who was at home, who knew the environment and he has personality. Inzaghi distracted in the final? I don’t know, but that’s how it went. A lot of attention was given to this because we lost. Thanks to Simone for everything he did, in 4 years he did an extraordinary job. Always a great relationship. We were all focused on the Champions League final. No one stopped to think about what could happen afterwards.”
