Vice President Javier Zanetti and CEO Sport Giuseppe Marotta's condolences


On an extremely sad day for Inter and the entire football world, Vice President Javier Zanetti and CEO Sport Giuseppe Marotta spared a thought for Luisito Suarez.

“It's a very sad day for all Inter fans; he was a truly extraordinary person. When we spoke about football together, he was very direct and knowledgable. His feeling for the Nerazzurri colours was very intense; he understood what it meant to represent the shirt. I had a special relationship with him; he was one of the first people to believe in me. He came to Argentina to watch me play and waited for me on the day of I was presented to the media. Inter is a family and he felt a part of it; the same thing happened to me. We believed in the same values and the bond between us will forever be very strong. If you open me up, I'm Interista inside, just as Luisito was.”

Javier Zanetti

“He was a great signing in the Inter's history; he was a very important player for Helenio Herrera's Grande Inter side, who won a lot. I remember the first time I went to see him as a kid in the victory over Benfica in 1965 at San Siro. His speciality was knocking long, pinpont-accurate balls; he was what made that Inter team, which made footballing history, tick. Then, I had a great friendship with Luis. It is a massive loss because as well as being a great footballer, he was a great human being too. He represents a romantic period of the game, that doesn't exist anymore. He was in love with his Inter and was with us as a scout until not so long ago. He left his mark on everyone because he had many great human qualities that will never be forgotten. ”
