Zanetti: "Parma and then the Champions League. With enthusiasm and conviction"

MILAN - At 11:00 CEST on Wednesday 12th September, the historic RCS auditorium on via Balzan in Milan was the venue for the press conference to present the first edition of the Festival dello Sport. The event organised by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Trentino with support from Coni and the Italian Paralympic Committee will take place in Trento between 11 and 14 October 2018. ‘Record’ will be the key theme. To equal records and to break them are the dreams or all sportspeople and teams.

RCS MediaGroup President Urbano Cairo, Mayor of Trento Alessandro Andreatta and La Gazzetta dello Sport Editor Andrea Monti were all in attendance along with Giovanni Malagò, Simone Moro, Arrigo Sacchi and JavierZanetti. "I believe that sport must have a vitally important role in the lives of all," said the Inter Vice President from the stage in the sala Buzzati. "This first edition of the Festival dello Sport is an important event that I’m proud to be involved with and I’m proud to have been a part of the Inter side that won the treble. That was a team that wrote an important chapter in the history of the club."

"Inter back in the Champions League? We’ve returned to where we need to be. We were placed in a tough group but with a sense of enthusiasm and the right conviction, we can play against anyone. Before the international break we had a great win at Bologna. In these days, the international players are returning to be available for Luciano Spalletti. Now, let’s focus on the Parma game and then we’ll think about the many other engagements that await us."
