SANTA FE' - (Ansa) "I'm proud to play for Inter": was the reaction of Nerazzurri captain Javier Zanetti regarding the 2006 Scudetto and Stefano Palazzi's report. "I know Massimo Moratti well and I had the good fortune to have known Giacinto Facchetti, and that's enough for me," said Zanetti to ANSA, just hours before the kick off of the Copa America quarter-final tie between Argentina and Uruguay.
"I'm surprised that this is still being talked about after five years. Fortunately the end of this issue is in sight. Let's hope it's once and for all and that we can look forward to seeing a better brand of football in Italy," added Zanetti. "It's clear that this league title is the same as all the others," said the Inter and Argentina player as he broke off.
When asked for a comment on Ricardo Alvarez playing for Inter, 'Pupi' replied that this was a "wonderful signing for Inter: he is a talented player and Italian football will help him develop his skills even more and the great Nerazzurri family will benefit from this" (Ansa).
