Zanetti Reveals Messi Dream

The 34-year-old Zanetti again had a brilliant season with the Nerazzurri, leading them to a third straight Scudetto victory.

Mancini Or Mourinho?

In an interview with the Corriere dello Sport, Zanetti was first asked whether it would be Roberto Mancini or Jose Mourinho who would be sitting on the Inter bench next season.

'This answer only the coach and the president can decide,” Zanetti stated.

“What Mancini has done in recent years is there for all to see. I am convinced that Moratti will choose the best solution to keep Inter at the top in the future."

Mancini Enemies?

Mancini has had a number of reported falling outs this season with the likes of Luis Figo, Patrick Vieira and Hernan Crespo. Zanetti was asked if the dressing room was against the coach.

"In every team there are those who are discontented,” he explained.

“However a group can not get to win the championship if it is divided or if it is against coach. We were and are with him."

Good Season?

The Inter skipper was asked whether he was happy with Inter’s season.

"I would have signed for this at the beginning of the season, although I would have liked to have gone further in the Champions League too," he pointed out.

“The season has been positive and with all the injury problems we have had that have penalized us it was difficult to do any better."

Messi Dream

Finally Il Trattore was asked if there was one player he dreamed about bringing to San Siro, who that player would be.

"Messi is my dream and Moratti thinks exactly the same, but the chance of Leo arriving is difficult. Maybe I try to convince him in these days with the national team,” he concluded.
