Why don't people give enough credit to Javier Zanetti?

[elnino99]

like come on

there is a wankfest for likes of Maldini, Raul, Cafu, Giggs, and co. but no one ever mentions Zanetti

playing for Inter since 1995. 15 years now, and the most consistent player ever.

nicknamesh ham hast "Traktor"

he bossed Chelsea too, when all so called superstars were out there wanking, the 36 year old was in Inter's half making a run with 5 minutes remaining and got a corner. overran all players younger than him

shame Maradona doesn't pick him ahead of fuking HEINZE.

this guy is a football legend, I've always said it, he should go down as one of the greatest players ever to graced the field. under-rated all his career. with what I've seen from him, the man can play until he is 50.

if Maradona gets his fact right and invite him and Cambiasso to NT, Argentina will be a major force in the WC.

Zanetti is up there with likes of Maldini, Zidane, Cafu, Raul, Figo and co.

I agree. Zanneti is a gentlemen and the most underated fotboll playar ever.

[BacheLot]

he is a class act..!! a perfect Captain..!!
listen to his calculated and smart comments on a very sticky situation that happened today after the game..!!

Captain Javier Zanetti told Sky Sport Italia: ''Balotelli needs to understand certain things. I am sorry because it kind of ruined this festival with such a gesture. However, we are close to him and we will always support him."

i never thought he was bad but defenders and defensive midfielders dont get as much attention as strikers, wingers and goal keepers

i always thought he was solid

[Shahin K]

great player, but indeed most under rated player ever. I never heard someone talking about him. always Zidane, messi, beckham, ronaldo, ronaldinho, barthez, henry, christiano, raul.......

maybe because he's so solide, and as a defensive mid. can't be that fancy..

[Parham10]

Because he's a defender, simple as that unfortunately...

[The-Iron-Ghost]

Javier Zanetti is a terrific footballer on and off the field, he is a great example of what a footballer should be.

[Arian]

one of the greatest captains of all time, prob one of the most underrated players of all time

[HuSsAiN]

Zanetti is a player that can play RB, LB or even DCM. His versatility has helped Inter Milan acheive so much success in the past decade and years. He has been a loyal servant, a great captain and just a wonderful player. He reads the game with a footballing brain, and has great football abilities like passing and having great control of the ball. Never gets the credit he deserves. You never see him being sent-off, or making a silly change. He has a decent disciplinary record, and that's impressive considering being in the Seria A for all his life.

A great role model for all young people who aspire to be Footballers. Just look at Javier.... A great profession in the modern game.

Yeah he was the MOM imo.

I almost called the Dutch TV ke fohshe kharmadar beheshoon bedam when they mentioned 4-5 players when they were talking about the best players of the match and didn't mention Zanetii

Wished Maradona invited him!

[Kflex]

Maradonna i stupid for not inviting him. Zannetti can play both right and left back. in midfield and as a central defender.
