APPIANO GENTILE – "Oh look how much hair I had." During "Prima Serata" on Inter Channel, we see pictures of Dejan Stankovic with fewer grey hairs, goals against AC Milan, amonst others, runs and a never-say-die-attitude, tackles and an engine. A smile, to the way he was. A significant look at what he will become. And other things besides, as suggested by fans and put to the Serb by Edoardo Caldara.
A fan asks Stankovic how young players settle in at a big club like Inter? "If the young player is intelligent, he can learn a great deal in a side like this. Obviously he mustn't make mistakes, but there are so many good examples to follow, starting with Zanetti. If they follow him they won't make mistakes," answered Dejan.
A new generation is coming through for Serbia too, the national side of which the Dragon was captain, leader, star and stand-out player. "There's a new generation coming through back home and there are some good players. Just yesterday I saw a Red Star match, it was a normal game, an early kick-off at 18:00, but the Maracana was full and it's still fantastic. I saw a couple of kids, the left back and the right forward. Yes, even in Serbia there are some exciting prospects coming through, change had to happen. I said farewell to the national side, I was very sad to do so, but the time had come to stop. Vidic also retired from international duty. I gave the captain's armband to Ivanovic and you could see from the game against Napoli the stuff he's made of. Then there's Kolarov who's very good friends with Ivanovic so I think I've left the national side in good hands."
At 21:00 on www.inter.it a new chapter of Waiting for "Prima Serata" with Dejan Stankovic and, on Inter Channel, the programme with Edoardo Caldara.
