The Argentinean defender is one of the most important players in the last decade for Internazionale Milano.
The Italian team changed in the last 10 years more than 100 players next to lots of managers.
But one player remained there no matter what. His name is Javier Zanetti. He is a complete defender, one of the best in Europe. In a match against Porto, Javier gets the ball on his own half after disposing a player.
He goes for a 50-metres run, dribbling two defenders on his way towards the goal. He went past the keeper and sent a low shot from an impossible angle down the left. He thought he scored, but unfortunately a player cleared it at the last moment from the goal's line. Incredible save. But what a brilliant play Javier Zanetti created!
