Zanetti: Yamal reminds me of Messi who is the first to be a cottager. Inter Milan will likely have important signings

05 May 16th, Inter Milan Vice Chairman Sanetti was interviewed by ESPN and talked about the previous semi-finals against Barcelona and Yamal.

Talking about the epic semi-finals and transfer markets of the Champions League against Barcelona, ​​this is an epic Champions League semi-final. When Barcelona reversed the score to 3-2, everyone thought the game would end with such a result. But the team always believed in the last moment, and then Archerby's goal brought the game into another situation, and controlled the situation with our experience.

Many of our players were exhausted at that time, but at that moment, it seemed that they could not feel tired. After we scored the fourth goal, Inter Milan was very smart to limit Barcelona's offense, after all, they could create miracles at any time.

Somer performed well and made an incredible save, such as his fingertips to block Yamal's shot. These players can always stand up at critical moments.

Achelby appeared in that position, just what the situation of the game needed: the ball came to that area, Dumfries won the confrontation and passed it, and Archelby scored like a center.

Frankly, considering the game trend, I thought it was very difficult at the time. Inter Milan was indeed very tired at the time.

About the game

Football always brings such passion, and our team always fights until the last moment. We are a highly respected team, which is due to the continued stability over the years, and even after losing to Manchester City's Champions League final, we actually played very well at the time. The final is so accidental.

We performed well in the group stage and only lost to Leverkusen in the last moment. The quarter-finals against Bayern followed by the semi-finals against Barcelona, ​​they have a unique football style and the young players are full of creativity, and this kind of opponent is very tricky.

Inter Milan's offense was also sharp, scoring seven goals in Barcelona in two rounds. Inzaji has been coaching for four years, we have always been the protagonists of the Champions League and won respect. For us, the most important thing is to successfully advance to the finals. I think Paris is a good team, and I appreciate the system that Enrique has built for them, which is why they can get to where they are now.

Evaluation of Yamal and Lautaro

In the first round, I noticed Yamal's childish face. He played so well that his future is unlimited. Sometimes you can't stop him at all because you can never guess which direction he will break through. At this time, the midfielder and defender need to assist in defense. In one-on-one situation, he is most likely to defeat you with his skills and speed.

This reminds me of the way Messi looked when he was just starting out, the feeling that you can never predict his next move. This young man showed a strong personality, always took the initiative to ask for the ball, knew his strength and was not afraid.

Laotaro has been suffering for a week and is not even sure whether he can play. He burst into tears as the final whistle sounded, which proved his strong heart: he longed to fight for the team and ended up being awesome. As the captain, the dedication he demonstrates is commendable and conveys an incredibly powerful belief.

Support coach Inzaji, we must firmly support the coach's team building plan and give time. It is easy to do in good times, but the key is to maintain trust in difficult times and find solutions together. As managers, we need to analyze in depth through appearances.

I always emphasize the gradual process behind the trophy: as long as you stick to the concept, opportunities will eventually come. Assuming Inter Milan is eliminated, we can still say that we are blocked by top teams outside the finals. At this time, we need to reflect: What is the difference between the goal? We must firmly support the candidate you choose.

Outlook for the transfer market

At this moment, we are still immersed in the joy of advancement, but we will soon start planning for next season. Considering the rich experience accumulated this season, the team will definitely have fresh blood to join, which is likely to include important signings.

Rumor about Mastantono

This is a genius that any team desires. Is it expensive for Inter Milan? Yes, especially considering his age. But the riverbed cultivation work is excellent, although I don’t know how long they can enjoy the results.
