Inter Milan legend and current Vice President Javier Zanetti spoke to the Independent about a multitude of topics.

 

ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH INTER:

The fact that the bond between me and this organization has remained firm even after my retirement is very important to me.

 

ON SUNING’S OWNERSHIP:

Suning has big ambitions. They take their job very seriously and have a lot of respect for Inter's history. Together, we intend to bring this team to win prestigious trophies. The club is being structured to make this leap and I think we are all together creating an ambitious project. Suning is a great support of ours."

 

ON FRANK DE BOER:

The results did were not positive and the first thing that happens is that the coach is considered to be the main reason why. Frank was very professional through his final day, but unfortunately the results were negative. He probably did not even have enough time to get ready. In football, success is measured with results and he had a tough start. But that does not mean that De Boer isn’t a great person and a great professional.
