:proud:

This feels like a shot to the heart. I had been asking for him to go for the last 1/2 seasons, but this is really something.

Zanetti was one thing that I associated with football. Trophies, players, clubs, tactics come and go. But all my life one thing that was constant was him running up and down the pitch and being an impeccable gentleman throughout.

You deserved a better farewell for sure. They will never come like you again.

He should remain in this forum, since he's still gonna be part of the team as a sporting manager.

So neither former players nor LGI.

I bet my beer stash that if WM had given JZ a chance in the derby then people would bitch in the other direction...why did he put JZ on,doesn't he want to at least get a draw,why put a defender on?!

So those who bitch about him not playing...just think about my theory...you know it to be true.

I'm a little surprised he didn't mention May 5th, 2002 as the bad game he would've replayed.

Why? He won scudetto after that game, so it's not necessary...
Man, am crying right now...
Can't imagine...
Fuckkk...
Please retire number 4!

No, am actually prepared to see Capitano in the last derby! Either as starter or subtitute... But this motherfuckin coach who doesn't know how to act decided not to!
I don't care with the result, I just want to see a player with great hair, wearing #4 jersey, with that yellow armban, step on the pitch.. I just can't imagine I don't see him on the pitch again...
:(

Maybe it's better he didn't play in that horrific match.
Why the fans would chant against Napoli if they knew that it can bring them only trouble/ban? If I'm not wrong, it happened before, exactly against Napoli the club and the city.

You missed the whole point. He should've STARTED WITH JZ and let him play through 80-85min then subbed him off so he gets his rousing ovation.

Managers with respect for the game, respect for the culture and history of a team, respect for the symbolism of a player e.t.c. ALWAYS DO THIS. Like I said, Mazzarri can go fuck himself. Complete disgrace of a manager. I literally cannot support our team with this imbecile as our manager.

To treat JZ like this, with zero class, being so nonchalant about his retirement, is a COMPLETE DISGRACE (kinda like Milan with Maldini). And Inter did it for what? To finish 5th in the table?

Why did he announce his retirement to an Argentinian newspaper ? why not through Inter.it or via an official club press conference ??

We still have Lazio as a home game(the derby was a away game meaning more Bbilanisti than Interisti)and he will probably get a friendly between Inter and Argentina to say goodbye so calm your tits man...

Looks like the era is finally coming to an end.

Not comparing any one here but there are few players I'm always used to watching since I started following the game.

Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Zanetti, Totti, SAF, Xavi (rarely before 2006), Pirlo, Maldini, Del Piero and few other great players.

Almost all are gone and looks like Zanetti and Giggs are retiring this season. So when it comes to old school (not very old) only Pirlo and Totti are left.

Question.

Can't we just ignore the closing of the curva nord and take whatever increased fine they dish out next season? This is Javier Zanetti's last game at Meazza! It's not like the FIGC will be there guarding it!

Inter as a club would never directly and purposefully violate an FIGC officiated move like that. And Zanetti wouldn't want us (the club) to. The fans however may act on their own. Lazio's fans certainly would.

I demand jz to start and finish the whole 90 minutes vs lazio. I want to see this team lead by him for the last time. I want to see the capt armband on him for the last time. I want to see he finishes his last game. We can only sub him in the injury time second half to symbolize he is passing his legacy.

Considering that Cambiasso is disqualified, we might as well see him. Better him than Kuzma.
