On Javier Zanetti
"The captain will be part of the club. As I keep saying, we want to focus on the last three games we have. I met Zanetti yesterday and we spoke about the fact that the team needs to focus on getting as many points as we can, but at the same time we had discussions about him studying English and management. I think it's important that when he's part of the club he understands not only the sport but also the management side. The most important thing is that he's still a player at the moment and he can help us perform consistently over the next three games."


Gotta give props to Thohir, if Zanetti wants a job here, he needs to learn english, as it will help a lot in the long run, otherwise he can only work with 'spanish speaking' people.

I read that he was going to play 6 months at some 3rd or 4th division team that he started playing at. Unless he is buying the team that makes 0 sense. Then others say he will be a director which is better. We need people who actually care about the club in management just keep him the FUCK away from transfer market think he says positive things about just about anyone we are linked to. Guy is way way too nice.

I heard the same on ESPN, they said Zanetti wants to retire at Club Atlético Talleres, C division team where he started. But I think it makes a lot of sense considering the kind of person Zanetti is. He's very grateful and wants to thank the team that gave him the opportunity to become professional.

Why don't you just admit that you googled 'oiled fatty' and your search happened to have found the guy in the blue shorts behind 'Ozzie JZ'

'Ozzie Guus', now 'Ozzie JZ'...

Next, the world.

So it is definitely his last game on 10.5.?

Can't confirm 100%. Although it looks like this will be his last playing career. Although he hasn't said directly that.

If you're wanting to see him play then I would 99% say that this will be his last season :)

Losing one game then going on to beat every team without conceding seems like a fairly brilliant fucking team to me. Only beat one good team? So then Italy must be pretty shit to only be knocking out Australia and Ukraine before knocking out Germany. They can only beat what they get put in front of them, which they did.

Missing their top goalscorer for the tournament doesn't mean they ''nearly won the World Cup'' like you said.

I dont even know what you're talking about at the minute (cant be bothered to check) but I can almost 100% guarantee you, it's a waste of time

Hell no for him playing in any other club.

He will retire as a player and will rise as a manager/spokesman/ambassador at the same day and with the same black and blue colors.

Will our beloved captain retire this season?

Give us one more season please. I can't imagine Inter without you. :(

Incredible tbh. None of the interviews by Thohir or Zanetti explicitly said that Il Capitano will retire, but all Football Italia and Goal has repeatedly said that this is his last season. I'm not too sure what to make of it.

But tbh, the pain will be greatly eased by the fact that he's no longer a regular starter. Let's face it, ever since his injury, we have gotten kinda used to seeing Inter without Zanetti. Since his recovery, Mazzarri hardly used him too.

But it is pretty weird that there is no official announcement as his last home game would be in 6 days.

If that true I really hope WM will eat his own shit for not playing Il Capitano in his last derby...
