A GREAT ANECDOTE OF THE PUPI!👏🏽

Javier Zanetti a flagship player at Inter Milan, this player played almost his entire career with Inter was signed by the club in June 1995, El Pupi as he is also known put an end to his career in 2014 the player announces his retirement at the age of 40 years. His last match was on Saturday, May 10, in the penultimate round of the Italian league, against Lazio.

"When I signed for Inter, the only thing I had with me was a plastic bag from the supermarket in my hand. It wasn't a designer diamond-encrusted bag. All I was carrying was a plastic bag containing my boots and my documentation. 'Excuse me,' I said to the fans, journalists and autograph hunters standing outside Inter's training ground, waiting for the new signings. No one recognized me, until it was too late. When I walked out onto the terrace, the fans couldn't believe it. I had walked among them and they had no idea who I was. Even the person in charge of the field didn't know me.

When I signed my contract, they made me choose a car. I chose a BMW, but the day before my first training session, I felt strange. So I called Giuseppe Bergomi (Inter's captain) and asked him if it was okay for me to show up in a BMW, because I didn't want to send the wrong message to my new teammates. But when I arrived, I realized that my car was the ugliest one in the players' parking lot. And I felt much better.

Today he is an idol for Inter fans.
