Zanetti: "Inter have won 18 of their last 14 matches; a dip in form is to be expected. Dimarco’s celebration? We’re not focusing on that sort of thing; Italy need to concentrate on the match"

Inter’s vice-president spoke on the sidelines of the Serie A ‘Operazione Nostalgia’ event in Rome

Inter’s end-of-season fixtures, the Italian team’s playoff matches against Bosnia, and the Scudetto race were the focus of an interview given in the mixed zone by Nerazzurri vice-president and club legend Javier Zanetti.

The former Argentine full-back was in Rome for the match organised at the PalaEur by Operazione Nostalgia and, in the mixed zone, also gave his thoughts on the upcoming Inter v Roma match, which is already crucial in the Scudetto race.

TOTTI AND INTER ROME
"Francesco and I have had a bond that has united us for a very long time. I admire him both as a player and as a man. Inter v Roma? It’s a great match; as history shows, it’s always been a game with plenty of goals. Let’s hope it goes well for us."

DIMARCO'S CELEBRATION
"I don’t think we should be focusing on these things; the Azzurri need to concentrate solely on the match. We’re all behind the national team. On Tuesday, we’ll be cheering on everyone – not just Esposito, but all the players taking to the pitch and those on the bench. We’re all behind Rino Gattuso; this is the final step we need to take to qualify for the World Cup. I say this as an Italian."
INTER: A NORMAL SLUMP
"Is Inter going through a dip? I think that’s normal. In our last 18 matches, we’ve won 14, drawn three and lost one. I think it can happen; let’s hope we get back on track when the international players return."
