10 years of FIFI searched for some quotes, posted in our macedonian website and i will now translate them... 
„In this world, I'm not afraid from anyone, except from Zanetti“ - Marco Materazzi
"The true icon in the world of football" - Roberto Mancini
„He never said that he wants to be like me, but I want to be like him“ - Roberto Baggio
„He taught me how to be a captain“ - Fabio Cannavaro
„When you are on the pitch, you usually watch your coach, but with Zanetti, he is the coach“ - Wesley Sneijder
„I knew the nature creates miracles, but couldn't believe this player is one of those. He showed me his passport, and i couldn't believe, 36 years old player to play like 25, or 29“ - Jose Mourinho
„Every player wants to be like Javier“ - Jose Mourinho
Zanetti? It's hard to find words to describe him, he is an example for all of us, and we, as an Argentineans, must be proud of him, because he made history in this club“ - Diego Milito
„I'm very afraid from the calm Zanetti.“ - Lionel Zanetti
„The enemy I respect the most“ - Paolo Maldini
„Zanetti? Only one word, PERFECTION“ - Esteban Cambiasso
„If I had 10% of Zanettis abilities, I'd be the best player in the world“ - Davide Santon
„Even when you make mistakes during the game, there's no nervous expression at all on Zanettis face, he will help you and tell you what to do to get better“ - Maicon
„If you want to learn how to become real sportsman, please call Zanetti“ - Fabio Capello
„Zanetti is one of my all time favorite players. He plays every game, covers every part of the pitch. That's why he has 145 games for Argentina“ Phil Neville
„The best opponent I have faced is Javier Zanetti. I met him for the first time in 99, in CLs 1/4 final. He was right back, I was left winger. He impressed me with his qualities: fast, powerful, intelligent, experienced. I played against him two more times. He was the best opponent i have ever faced. Excellent example for all of us“ - Ryan Giggs.
„He is excellent player, but my friendship with him goes beyond the pitch, he is an example for everyone“ - Cordoba
„With Javier we played for a long time together, and for 22 years he is strong as a bull and does everything a professional should do, Everything'. I don't know any other player that can do the same. He played all those games without getting tired.“ - Alvaro Recoba
„Extremely hard worker, he doesn't lose the ball. He rarely was losing it, and the ball itself was like glued to his feet. That day when i first thought this, he will be in Inters history“ - Giuseppe Bergomi.
„He is the strongest player I have ever seen“ SAF
„The only thing I haven't seen in Zanettis behavior is the anger“ - Diego Simeone
„If you want to be a proper football player, see Zanetti“ Pierluigi Collina
„I don't know Zanetti in person, but if you pay attention to his abilities, behavior and influence outside the pitch, value 100 is not enough to be given for him“ Arsene Wenger
„Inter still wasn't mine when a tape arrived from Argentina with u20 players that was given for me to watch Ariel Ortega. I watched the game, but not whole, Ortega didn't impress me. But instead, I saw something weird. I was under spell from a young fullback I haven't seen before: He defended well at the back, attacked well at the front, could dribble past few players at the same time. We signed him right away and he is still with us. I discovered that he comes from the planet Krypton, and will play for 4 or 5 more years at Inter. His name is Javier Zanetti and is still with us, even though he is the first player I have ever bought“ - Massimo Moratti

His armbend for todays game:
Javier "Il Capitano" Zanetti, you will be forever remembered as one of the greatest.
I thought you would be with us for one more season but wasn't to be.
I wish you all the best, you deserve to relax after working so hard for inter's success.
I hope they offer you a managerial position at inter.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHe will be missed on the pitch...what a great captain. That armband gesture describes the man, even on the day we celebrate him, he shows his gratitude to his teammates. Class Need's to redefine itself as Javier Zanetti.
