Inter Milan forward Altobelli accepted an interview with Sky Sports Italia on the occasion of his 70th birthday (11.28). He reviewed his career at Inter Milan and talked about Italy's prospects.
You have never won a Golden Boot in your career
"There is a reason behind this. I have always fought for the team and never considered personal goals. The important thing is that I left a deep mark on the fans. I scored 209 goals for Inter Milan, which is not a small number. Once, I We also had a fight with Hans Muller over the scorer's list. The whole team said: 'Win first, and then help me get the golden boot.' But when we got to the field, Hans Muller shot from all kinds of ridiculous positions and never passed the ball to me. In the fourth time, I slapped him lightly, but that was all. It passed. My teammates cared more about him than I did, and some even kicked him secretly. "
You have always lived in the hearts of Italian fans.
"After retiring for so many years, I can feel love wherever I go, or are they just doing this to me? Is this true for all players? ’ I don’t know. Everyone treats me very well, as if I’m still playing football. I feel like I’m doing my best no matter which club I’m at.”
Is there a new ‘Altobelli’ today?
"People often ask me this question, and my answer is: I am not better than anyone else, I am Altobelli, with my own characteristics. I am not better than anyone, but no one is better than me. Therefore, I can compete with anyone."
Talk about the national team
"I think we should start from the young people. We used to play football in the streets, squares, and narrow alleys... As soon as you make a mistake, the ball flies, and the game is over. My skills were developed there."
What kind of Milan Derby will this be?
"Inter Milan still has a chance, but derbies are always strange - the stronger side often loses because the weaker side will show more passion and fighting spirit. I hope the best side wins, and I hope it is Inter Milan."
Can Lautaro catch up with your goal number at Inter Milan?
"I personally told Lautaro that he is the only one who can possibly surpass me. He is one of the top players in Europe, very good. He still has about 40 to 50 goals to catch me, but it is very easy for him."
