Zanetti reveals Juve rage
Inter captain Javier Zanetti has hit out at Pavel Nedved, the way his team were treated in Turin and FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
The 34-year-old joined the voices condemning Nedved for the challenge that broke Luis Figo’s fibula during the Derby d’Italia.
“How do I judge Nedved’s foul? He went in too hard and caused a serious injury to a teammate,” Zanetti growled.
“We need to stop these tackles from behind. I’ve always said that and something needs to be done.”
The Argentine also revealed that the Nerazzurri’s reception in Turin was far from ideal.
“At the stadium there was a horrible banner about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which is really nasty to see, but worse was the reaction we got when we arrived in the coach,” he explained.
“Because we were late there was practically no security so anything could’ve happened, but luckily we got there without trouble.
“These are things that shouldn’t happen in a League as big as Serie A.”
FIFA President Blatter made headlines by criticising the Beneamata for having no Italian players on the pitch against Juventus, but an indignant Zanetti pointed out his error.
“I was on the pitch and I have an Italian passport,” he stated. “That’s what I would say to Blatter.”
