I was at that game! It's one of the first Inter games I went to. It was a great match even though we lost, I'll never forget the free kick that Adriano scored - inch perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbN8z4tMCD0
I had forgotten about the tackle from capitano, unbelievable.

Talks about how it got difficult at times at Inter and insinuates that he was close to leaving, but the thought of winning as Inter's captain and his family's comfort in the city of Milan ultimately outweighed any temptation of leaving. His decision was proven to be the correct one with time.
Praises both Bielsa and Mourinho for their qualities as managers.
Doesn't agree with people trying to always compare Messi to Maradona. Maradona was the best of his time as is Messi of his.

He also took a photo with a fan who took a photo with him 20 years back, he was in the crowd.
And he gave his best eleven : Peruzzi - Cafu - Samuel - Ayala - Maldini - Vieira - Giggs - Xavi - Baggio - Messi - Ronaldo (The Brazilian).
As for his thoughts of leaving, we all know the story, with Tardelli making fuss and fucking the team, Moratti choosed Zanetti and fired him. His second best decision after buying Zanetti.

Fuck, that's an amazing team, very well balanced too. Usually when people give their Best-Elevens they just put a bunch of attacking players paying no heed to any kind of balance. That formation has everything, just lacking a bit of with in paper, but with forwards like Ronaldo and Messi that move all over the pitch, Giggs feeling at home dropping to the left wing, Cafu going up&down on the right flank, and Xavi and Baggio pulling the strings you would have plenty of with I think, I don't even see how could you hope to mark those players.
And then you have Maldini, Samuel, Ayala and Vieira, who are all amazing defenders, and Xavi is pretty good tactically, covering holes in defense, plus a keeper like Peruzzi. Also, Vieira is an engine that's great on the ball, with FBs like Maldini and Cafu bringing the ball forward, and a metronome like Xavi, you'll have no problem in transition either. On top of that all players except maybe Samuel are amazing technically and with great movement off the ball so keeping possession and opening holes in the opposition defense shouldn't be a problem at all.
