Ik zag hem eind vorig seizoen als linksback 90 minuten lang rennen tot hij erbij neerviel. Alleen: hij viel er niet bij neer. Nee, hij rende na het laatste fluitsignaal direct door naar de kleedkamer, trok een strak broekje en noploze schoenen aan, en liep de marathon van Milaan, die toevallig voorbij kwam.
Het schijnt dat hij daarna nog boodschappen heeft gedaan voor zijn oma, en aangezien ze de hamlapjes graag voor halfzes wilde hebben moest hij een beetje voortmaken. Deze man kan rustig tot zijn vijftigste mee.

Look behind you! It's your ass!
Als hij niet door Pekerman en Diego was gepasseerd had hij dan al 170 interlands of zo gespeeld?

quote:'Terugkeer Zanetti pas in 2014 na achillespeesoperatie'
Javier Zanetti is dinsdag geopereerd aan de afgescheurde achillespees, waarvan aanvankelijk werd gedacht dat die het einde van de carrière van de Argentijnse aanvoerder van Internazionale zou betekenen.
Waar Zanetti dat eerder al ontkende, liet dinsdag ook Inter-voorzitter Massimo Moratti weten dat hij geloof heeft in de clubicoon, die op 10 augustus zijn veertigste verjaardag viert en onlangs zijn zeshonderdste Serie A-duel voor de Nerazzurri speelde.
'Dit is erg spijtig en ik leef met hem mee', vertelde Moratti over Zanetti, die in 1995 op 22-jarige leeftijd de overstap maakte van Banfield naar Inter. 'Maar iemand als hij, met zo'n karakter, zal terugkomen. Daar twijfel ik niet aan.'
Volgens Italiaanse media heeft Zanetti liefst acht maanden nodig om weer fit te geraken. Hij zal alleen al bijna een maand op krukken moet lopen voor hij kan beginnen met revalideren. Als alles goed gaat maakt Zanetti hoogstwaarschijnlijk in januari 2014 zijn rentree, al behoort volgens medici ook een terugkeer binnen zes maanden tot de mogelijkheden.
Hoewel El Tractor tegen die tijd 40,5 jaar oud is, bestaat er bij Moratti geen twijfel over dat hij weer op zijn oude niveau terugkeert. 'De fans zullen misschien wel denken dat ze hem niet meer terugzien. Dat zullen ze wel. En hij zal weer spelen als in zijn beste jaren.'
Ook de arts die de ingreep bij Zanetti heeft verricht ziet enkele reden tot zorgen. 'Hij heeft bewezen dat hij op deze leeftijd nog steeds in een geweldige vorm steekt. Er is wel het risico dat zijn spierkracht afneemt, maar de fysio's van Inter hebben al voor hetere vuren gestaan.'
