Pope, Zanetti: ‘I remember his passion for football, he transmitted love and serenity’

Rome, 21 Apr (LaPresse) – ‘I remember his passion for football. He was a San Lorenzo fan, when I met him he told me by heart the formation of the Argentine championship champion team. That shows how much he cared about football. And then we talked about my founding of Inter, of our national team, because being Argentinean that made the bond even more special. Honestly this morning when I heard the news my mind and heart went back to those moments when I first met him. And I will carry within me these moments that he gave us'. These are the words of Argentinean Javier Zanetti, vice-president of Inter, to Sky Sport as he remembers the figure of Pope Francis, who died today at the age of 88.
