MILAN - "Considering the position we were in, I think the team showed great character especially in the second half, and believed we could win it right up to the final whistle," was Javier Zanetti's comment on Inter Channel at the end of the match.
"They left us standing with that one-two, then in the changing rooms at half-time Julio Cesar made a great speech. He was very good. This is a situation only we can turn around. We didn't win but this draw has given us confidence."
Zanetti was then asked to comment on the ovation from the fans as Esteban Cambiasso was substituted: "If the famous 'old boys' are still on the pitch it's because the boss thinks we can offer something to the team and there must be a reason for that. I don't believe that the situation we are in now is due to the 'old boys'. I've had to work hard to get where I am today and I'm fed up with these comments.
