Fassone and Samaden attend ECA general assembly

BARCELONA – Tonight saw the end of the European Club Association’s General Assembly. Inter were represented by managing director Marco Fassone, who is part of the Institutional Relations Working Group, and Roberto Samaden who lends his experience to the Youth Working Group.

A number of issues were discussed over the two days, ranging from financial fair play and the transfer system to the distribution of proceeds from UEFA competitions for the 2015-2018 period and the status of the agreement with FIFA.

Jonathan: “Let’s forget Roma and just think about Torino”

APPIANO GENTILE – One of the best performers against Roma, Jonathan is now focused on Sunday’s match at the Meazza, something he discussed with Sky Sport 24. Read the first part of the exclusive interview here on inter.it:

“We’re happy with how we played against the Giallorossi. We knew we could perform well in that game, but now we need to put it behind us and just think about Torino. We’ll face a tricky match against a very competitive side. It’s a shame we don’t have all the internationals here with us, but the coach is brilliant and he’ll still get the best out of us. D’Ambrosio might start ahead of me against Torino? I don’t know if the coach will pick him or me, either way I’ll be there for him and the team should they need me.”

Zanetti: “What matters is being able to do well with Inter”

MILAN – An award for fair play, fairness and respect; values that have always characterised Javier Zanetti both on and off the pitch. The captain answered questions from reporters at the award ceremony of the Cartellino Viola and the 2013 Fair Play Award this morning in Milan.
Are they going to have to use chains to keep you on the bench?
"To be honest, my first objective was to get back to a point in which I could feel useful to the team and return after a bad injury. Right now I feel great. I’m available to the coach whenever he feels it necessary to send me back on the pitch."
What you were given today was an award for the end of your career… 
"It seems like it [smiling]. But sincerely, right now the most important thing isn’t my future, but rather that of the team and qualifying for Europe at the end of this season. And then later I’ll talk with the club to see what’s best for Inter. There’s no hurry and there’s no problem with the new president, as I’ve heard some people saying. Actually there’s been a lot of dialogue going on with some serious ideas, and we’ll take stock of things at the end of the season to see what’s best for everyone." 
Have you set up an appointment yet?
"No, because there’s no rush. It’s possible that when he returns we’ll discuss it more, but right now what matters is finishing the season."
So you only have Inter in mind and no plans regarding Mourinho?
"I immediately denied that, even though I have a great rapport with him. My bond with this club after 20 years will always be there, beyond anything that might happen in the future."
What do you think about the situation of Inter not having been awarded a single penalty?
"It seems very odd to me. Let’s hope we have a bit more luck in our upcoming matches."
What will you ask president Thohir?
"I have no requests, and I don’t expect anything from him, as some are saying. This situation simply doesn’t exist. Many of you have known me for years. I’m very open and always willing to do my best for this club."
How about your relationship with Mazzarri?
"It’s very good."
Will you say anything to Juan Jesus after the suspension?
"I’m really sorry to lose a player like him because he’s very important, especially for the games we have coming up." 

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic to play for Inter next season

MILAN – Nemanja Vidic will wear the black and blue of Inter next season.

FC Internazionale is delighted to announce that negotiations to bring the Manchester United captain to the club have reached a successful conclusion.

Speaking exclusively to inter.it, president Thohir said: "Vidic is a world-class player. I’m extremely happy to have completed this deal to bring Nemanja to Milan. He’s one of the world’s best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree and charisma will be an asset to the team and help bring through our younger players. He will bring added value to the club and is another piece of the great Inter side we are building. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Manchester United, Nemanja and his entourage for the professional and cooperative approach they have shown throughout the negotiations."

Nemanja Vidic was born in Titovo U�ice on 21 October 1981. A solid centre-back, he made his professional debut for Spartak Subotica in 2000/01, going on to make 27 appearances and score six goals in his debut season (still his personal best goals tally for a single campaign). After moving to Red Star Belgrade he racked up 67 appearances and 12 goals over three years. Then in 2004 he made the switch to Russia and Spartak Moscow, where he remained for a year and a half playing 39 times and scoring four goals. That was followed in 2005/06 by his big career move to Manchester United, where to date the Serb has made 204 Premier League appearances (his record of 35 in a single season coming in 2010/11) while netting 15 goals. Vidic has also turned out for the Red Devils 52 times in the Champions League scoring twice (including pre-qualifying rounds), made one appearance and scored one goal in the European Super Cup, played 12 games with three goals in the Europa League/UEFA Cup, and featured in two matches at the Club World Cup, scoring once. He has 56 caps and two goals at international level for Serbia-Montenegro and Serbia, having played three times at the 2010 World Cup.

Vidic’s honours include a Serbian championship (2003/04), two Serbian Cups (2001/02, 2003/04), five Premier League titles (2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2010/11, 2012/13), three League Cups (2006, 2009, 2010), five Charity Shields (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013), a Champions League (2007/08) and a Club World Cup (2008).
