INTER: ZANETTI: "RESPECT FOR VALENCIA"

/noticias.info/ APPIANO GENTILE - According to Inter captain Javier Zanetti, Inter's two-legged Champions League tie with Valencia is no walk in the park. "We face a very tough opponent who will play the second match at the Mestalla. Quite honestly, it's not easy," said Zanetti.

"There were positive comments after our pairing with Villarreal last year, compared to the other teams we could have faced, but everyone knows how it ended up. That was a massive disappointment for us and this year we have the chance to cancel that out by going as far as possible in the Champions League

"At this stage of the competition it's impossible to say one opponent is weaker than another. They are all clubs who have tradition and experience in Europe, and we don't know what form they will be in when the Champions League starts up again. So for now we will concentrate on the championship, and by doing well in the championship match after match we can be stronger when it's time for the Champions League."

Zanetti insists Valencia are not to be underestimated. "They are very strong, particularly in attack, but in general they are a well-organised team with important players so they must be faced with great respect," he warned. notas_de_prensa_archivo
