so maldini doesn't love Milan because he stayed here till he was 40 and past his best? baresi doesn't love the club because he stayed at Milan when he was nearly 40 and well past his best?

would you say inzaghi is fake as well? his love for the fans/club via kissing shirts or media is bs? and the fact that he stayed and didn't leave to "make space for better players"

you're not making any sense here, the guy has been at his club for 17 years, of course he loves them.

Great player? A bit of a stretch really. He's a good player that maximized his talent by professionalism and work ethic. But he is NOT on the level of all time greats or even icons of any top club. A good right back in his prime... but he didn't even play for Argentina in the 06 and 10 World Cups... and Maicon easily took his spot when he arrived in 2006. They just had to find a place for captain Zanetti because he was too politically strong.

They put him on the right, left, midfield... whatever... he just HAS to play. If he was that special he would have been a lock in a certain position, no?

Dunno man, I havent seen many players that have beaten him, he is very good defensively, and offensively he is very good, taking on many defenders and all at the same go, he is also a very good leader because he can inspire his team mates with a great play, plus the fact that Maicon played as RB is thanks to his versatility, I personally think Maicon is a better RB on his day, but Zanetti is one of the most versatile players ive seen, doing really well in any position he is played in, and he is very good on the tactical level, you dont need to tell him what to do, for example last night, he spotted that De Sciglio was being the main threat after Nagatomo went off and he took care of him so to say, then Urby tried to double up and it didnt work, it just looked difficult down his side, I was hoping Allegri would ask the team to attack down Inter's left because Zanetti really blocked off the right line completely. As for his seclusion from world cup squads, for me that is one of the most unjust decisions, I cannot recall why he was in 06 but in 10 it was purely down to Maradona's stupidity, especially after the season both he and Cambiasso had for Inter that year, it was a crime, Maradona paid for it badly, he wanted 11 Maradona's on the pitch.

mourinho wouldn't have kept him as a key player if he wasn't great, we all know moratti was mourinho's bitch.

Can't comment on Baresi since I never caught him live. Maldini - did he go steal attention after his teammates every game by kissing the Milan shirt and sucking up to the curva? I mean, the only reason they ruined his final game was because he refused to suck up to them. A true man. :)

And Maldini never HAD to play all the matches in his later years.

would you say inzaghi is fake as well? his love for the fans/club via kissing shirts or media is bs?

I recall him kissing the shirt only 3 times. In 05 after his return from injury, 08 derby, and his farewell. Maybe there's more but 3 times in 11 years isn't even comparable to 3 times in the last 3 games. :tongue:

and the fact that he stayed and didn't leave to "make space for better players"

His presence didn't stop the club from purchasing players in his position and playing them. You're missing my point... Zanetti has to play, period. Pippo didn't touch the field much in his last 3 seasons.

you're not making any sense here, the guy has been at his club for 17 years, of course he loves them.

Explain the shirt kissing in 1998. :tongue: And I'm not arguing that Zanetti loves Inter, I'm just saying his gestures are fake and agenda driven. El Shaarawy is a Milan fan... why hasn't he kissed Milan's shirt yet? Ambro, Rino, did they ever kiss our shirt? Nah, cos they're real men.

zanetti must have a fantastic relationship between him and the curva, I highly doubt Maldini would "suck up" since he always had a tense relationship with the Milan curva.

and zanetti is good enough to play and start, hell he'd be a sure starter at LB if he was at Milan. :o


did you just put lump ses with examples of real men? LOL :D

His primary position is a right back. An inexperienced guy came from the French league and took his spot, thus forcing him to shuffle between left back and midfield... hardly a great player.

A very good player though. But a great player? Nah. He was a world class RB but as I said Maicon took the spot off him and since then he's shuffled between positions (mostly played midfield) and hardly was anything special. Solid and always gives 100%, but tons of better players out there.

mourinho wouldn't have kept him as a key player if he wasn't great, we all know moratti was mourinho's bitch.

Mourinho had a role for all the senior Inter players. He even constantly gave Materazzi minutes especially in derbies and important matches, even gave him a CL cameo.

Matrix then got pissed when Benitez didn't do the same and make him cameo at the club world cup final. :lol:

so yeah..


and btw fiero..when you say there are "tons of better players out there" you do realize that zanetti is 39 right?

Exactly. Maldini has a tense relationship with the curva because he didn't suck up to them. And Zanetti is an idol for their curva because he always sucks up to them.

Maldini even had a great quote, something along the lines of "I'm proud of what I did, I never had dinner with people for them to chant my name".

Nah, I meant only Ambro and Rino for that part. :D Shaarawy plucks his eyebrows...

actually maldini has a tense relationship with the curva because he insulted them in 2005 :lol: :proud: but as far as I know he had a tense relationship with them even before that.

Give me a single year when he was one of the top 10 players in the world. Never.

A very good player that gets much more credit than his worth because of his professionalism + political power inside Inter.

When he quits and becomes director, will he run to the curva and kiss the Inter suit after they win games? :D

I'm aware of the 2005 incident, but I think it's from way before that. All ultras groups in all clubs in all countries think they are more important than they really are and ask for authority. As Maldini hinted, dinners with player etc. Basically they expect players to treat them specially and acknowledge them like they're special and unique, or else they don't give them support.

Maldini is 100 times the man they all are and what he did for Milan far outweighs anything they'll ever dream of doing. He was right not to give a single fuck about them.

does that matter?

has nesta ever made top 10 players in the world? if he hasn't that must mean he's not a great player right?

I don't mean awards. They're all political. I meant a season where you'd consider him among the best players in the world...

Anyway, forget it. I didn't intend to argue about his quality as a footballer.

I don't hate Zanetti...I just don't get Zanetti. But nah can't hate him, he's just so simpleton, I can't hate him.

But I really don't get him. He's never been to me something more than a rating 6 of a player, but he does put a lot of heart in his performances to be completely fair, he's never been worse than a 6 nor more than 6, he is that. But he's a legend, a legend based on his consistency more than anything, but everyone thinks he's an amazing player one of the best RBs ever. And I mean I really appreciate how much effort he puts in it, but I just don't know how to rate him, if I say he's the best RB I've seen in Serie A, that's bs, the best one is Thuram by far and then Cafú. But then I feel like I'm underrating Zanetti.

I believe it's completely unfair the way the Argentina NT has treated him, but then again there has to be something wrong with him for 2 coaches (or 1 coach and Maradona) to have left him out of the WC, considering well, he's by far the best defensive player Argentina has available.

He basically looks the same as he did 15 years ago in every sense, hair style, and fitness levels. I don't think he'll ever retire, only way is if he wants to spend time with his family (which for the simpleton he is, sounds like that could be it, but that would've happened 2 years ago). I don't get him.

I don't care if he overly celebrates with the fans, even if sometimes yeah it can be a little provocative, it's his thing, at the end of the day, he's celebrating with the people that applaud him for running and then passing the ball backwards :D, so it's fair. I don't care how vocal he was with calciopoli, that was pure desperation, I can imagine that if I'm commited to a losing team like he was, I would probably said stupid things like that too. My thing with Zanetti is something completely different.

Zanetti is my enigma. I just don't understand how I view him.

Inexperienced or not, Maicon was great as soon as he joined Inter, it only makes sense to play them both and have Zanetti use his versatility to maximize the performance of the team.

I'm aware of the 2005 incident, but I think it's from way before that. All ultras groups in all clubs in all countries think they are more important than they really are and ask for authority.

I think this maybe his only real problem, that being a club symbol, he must always be compared to Maldini, and that is an honor that is impossible to be matched, not even Totti or Del Piero can earn the status of Maldini, but out of them 3 I think Zanetti comes closest in terms of reliability but he is certainly the least cool out of them 3 I agree, Zanetti is a nerd :)

I cant hate Zanetti at all, if anything I respect him greatly.

he is a great professional, while not the best of players the dude is 100% effort and heart, and I really struggle to dislike a player like that.


He is basically what I want Abate to be, while not the most talented, a really hard worker that gives it his all for the shirt

I hate no one on Inter, it's not their fault when we lose, and none of them has been a cunt to us, maybe Millito a little bit.

I actually admire Milito, I wish we had a player who works and celebrates so passionately, I love how he celebrates, reminds me a little bit of Inzaghi.

From Inter I can't stand Cassano, Milito, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Sneijder and Samuel. Also I hate Palacio's hair thing, and Chivu is annoying.

Stupid Inter :D

very true

the jealousy and oppression confused me while i was younger...but now it just saddens me. i seek comfort from this sadness in the warmth of attractive women's breasts.

I in one way respect Chiellini because he is a very good defender. Bonucci is both a mediocre player and right douchebag. Something about his face....makes it very punachable
