Everyone appreciates a legend of the world's game. Sorry our team isn't made up of a bunch of mercenaries, gold diggers, and adulterers.

I am interested in this, and I'm a Milanista.

Zanetti is one of the greatest defenders of all time, Happy Birthday Javier. With the rate he's going, think he'll retire at 50.

Respect.
