APPIANO GENTILE - Cristiano 'The Hammer' Zanetti press conference (1).
Will you get your place back?
The important thing is that I'm well and that I don't have problems anymore. I had felt pain for two years and now I'm much calmer, especially from a psychological point of view. The coach will decide.
Have there been any complications in your return to full fitness?
No. I tried to accelerate the recovery time, but the time predicted was this.
Was it just the athletic pubalgia that was giving you problems?
Yes, I'd never had problems before. Now I have resolved them.
You were away for three weeks to recover...
Yes, because it wasn't easy to stay here and watch my team-mates train and play, knowing that I couldn't join in with them. I went away so I would be ready when I returned.
Could the arrival of Batistuta have repercussions on Crespo?
We're hoping Hernan can recover as soon as possible because he really has helped us a lot lately. I don't know whether he [Batistuta] will come or not. But there's also Kallon and Ventola... We have strikers.
