MILAN - Javier Zanetti spoke briefly to journalists after taking part in a conference to make young people aware of the dangers of doping:
Zanetti, on Wednesdy you have the Tim Cup final first leg against Roma. How much do you want to win it?
"A lot, because we want to win the Coppa Italia. We will be playing on level terms against a great team like Roma."
Why is the Tim Cup clash with Roma so important?
"Because we're looking to win this trophy, which is still prestigious. They will be two great finals."
It seems that the city rivalry with Milan is never-ending...
"It's a rivalry that has lasted forever, and it will always be there. But I don't understand why you always look to make comparisons. We're pleased because we have won the Scudetto, Milan are pleased because they have reached the Champions League final. We are all happy, so I don't see why we necessarily have to look for a stronger team. These things should be left to one side."
Will you be supporting Milan in the Champions League final? Do you have friends in the two teams?
"At Milan I know Seedorf, Simic, Grimi and many others, while at Liverpool there's my compatriot Mascherano. Like two years ago, it will be a difficult final for both sides. But as you can understand, it's impossible for me to support Milan. I will watch the match on television."
It looks like they are softening the argumentative tones surrounding Inter and Juventus. Can we hope for a calm fixture next year?
"Let's hope so. Juventus are a great club and a great team. Every match against them has been fascinating. We hope all the disputes stay off the pitch."
It seems as if Luis Figo has decided to leave Inter at the end of the season. Inter may need a playmaker. Any suggestions for the club?
"Firstly, I should say that I'm very sorry Luis is leaving. He's a great player, but foremost he's a great man and dressing room companion in every sense. Let's hope a player of his level will come in. A player I like in particular? There are many. If I have to choose one player just to reply to the question, I'll say I really like Messi. He's a compatriot who I know quite well, but I'm not the only one who likes him."
Any chance of Messi joining Inter?
"Not many, because I don't think Barcelona will let him go."
It has been reported that Gianluigi Buffon might join Inter in place of Julio Cesar. What do you think about this?
"I don't know, it depends on the club's plans. I can say that Julio Cesar is in excellent form and is having an excellent season, just like Toldo has done when he has been called into action. But these are things for the club to decide."
Roberto Mancini has always indicated you as a player with an exemplary attitude on and off the pitch. However, some say you had a difficult relationship with Mancini when he arrived at Inter. Is this true?
"I think that we had to get to know each other at the start of his Inter adventure. We have got to know and understand each other better over the years. We have even argued a few times, but this happens in every team, and the important thing is that we have always thought of the good of the team and tried to build something important. I have a wonderful relationship with Mancini and I have to thank him for all the faith he has had in me in his three years here. I hope to continue this adventure with all the staff for a long time because we are doing a great job."
Will you end you career at Inter?
"Yes. I will end my career at Inter. I have a contract until 2010 and I will honour it until the end."
FIFA seem to be looking to eliminate draws, and are studying new solutions like penalty shootouts to decide matches. What do you think about this?
"In this way matches will last forever... We need to have a good look at these things because it's not easy to change the rules from one moment to the next."
Has doing so well in the league increased your disappointment over the Champions League elimination, when you were knocked out without almost your entire first-choice midfield?
"We were disappointed about getting knocked out, but we have no regrets now. Our main target was to win the Scudetto and we won it. We'll try the Champions League again next season."
How do you see doping in Italian football?
"Badly, because unfortunately there have been many cases. I hope the number reduces and I hope positive information can be perceived correctly so doping can exist less and less."
