After over 500 matches on the right side of the lineup, Inter captain Javier Zanetti is as important to the club as ever.

- Juan Sebastian Veron gave a telephone interview to TyC Sports channel's Estudio Futbol today and stepped forward to provide leadership during the current crisis that has gripped the domestic game. "With my experience, I need to involve myself for the good of the game and the young guys who are coming up behind me. All I'm looking for is a bit of peace, to live out a soccer Sunday the way my dad did when he played." Veron went on to say that he has recently sought out Diego Maradona: "He's always been one to defend the player in times of crisis and any advice he can pass on would be very important right now. He could be a great help." (In Spanish) [TyC Sports]
