1
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:12,460
Every legend has its rules.
2
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:17,940
There must be a team to cheer for.
3
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:21,300
There must be top-class opponents.
4
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:27,060
There must be a fall and a triumph.
5
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,940
If the Inter side of 1988/89 became the stuff of legend,
6
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:40,500
it's because they followed the rules.
7
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,700
A strong team, the most competitive Serie A ever,
8
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,180
a stumble, then an unstoppable charge.
9
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:01,700
This is the Inter side remembered
by an entire generation of football fans,
10
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:04,340
a season that went down as a record,
11
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,940
a record that became legend.
12
00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:22,460
Six new faces were brought in to shake things up.
13
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,700
It was the third season with Trapattoni in charge
14
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:30,140
and Inter already had Zenga, Bergomi, Ferri,
15
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:33,340
Matteoli, Mandorlini and Serena.
16
00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:39,700
They were bolstered by the likes of
Bianchi, Nicola Berti, Ramón Díaz
17
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,740
and the two Germans signed from Bayern Munich,
Andy Brehme and Lothar Matthäus.
18
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:52,260
It was a great team, but to become a truly
exceptional team a defeat and a pact was needed.
19
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:56,980
We were knocked out of the Coppa Italia
by Fiorentina, I think.
20
00:01:56,980 --> 00:02:01,140
We lost 4-3 and the press turned on Trap:
“He needs to go!”
21
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:03,140
There was a lot of criticism right away.
22
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:07,740
There was a meeting between the coach
and the players on the pitch at Appiano Gentile.
23
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:13,020
I remember Trap was almost in tears
and we said to him: "Boss, we're all with you."
24
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:16,100
We all realised then that
we could achieve something big.
25
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:19,220
That elimination was the making of this group.
26
00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:21,060
That's where the ride kicked off.
27
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:25,100
It wasn't a very convincing start,
but you could see that we'd got going.
28
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,220
It was a moment that roused us, so to speak.
29
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,940
Luckily for us the campaign kicked off on 9 October.
30
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:18,940
I think that, overall, we deserved to win the game
31
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:21,060
even though Ascoli hit the bar.
32
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:24,280
I think the three or four chances we created
came from open play.
33
00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:35,100
We went behind in the first half,
after Pisa's Bernazzani scored.
34
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:38,980
But we performed excellently in that
first period, always on the attack.
35
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:41,180
We had about four or five chances, I think.
36
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:45,060
During the break Pellegrini came into the dressing room.
37
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:49,500
The president was worried, just like the fans.
38
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,100
He said: “We're back to the usual way of things
- we win one game then lose another."
39
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:58,220
I said to him: “No, this year we'll win the league,
because this is very strong side."
40
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:32,300
Lots of bravery - very important for the match.
We won 4-1 with bravery.
41
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:37,480
With a bit of luck we can win the league.
42
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,880
Without that luck, we won't win it.
43
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:06,580
My intention was always to build strong teams
44
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:13,780
and I think in my 10 years as president,
Inter were always the main challengers
45
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:18,180
to the team that would win the Scudetto.
46
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:28,220
I met Trapattoni in Villar Perosa,
47
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:34,700
when Pellegrini owned the hotel in Villar Perosa.
48
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:41,220
He was an important person
when it came to my running of the club
49
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:47,460
because we knew each other -
50
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:53,540
plus we spoke to each other in our local dialect,
so we had a good understanding.
51
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:57,180
He was a real expert on football and players.
52
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:01,900
We wrote a list of names,
with an outline of the various roles.
53
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:07,100
I was very satisfied that,
with the help of the president,
54
00:06:08,260 --> 00:06:14,020
who helped us with everything,
we brought in seven players we'd planned.
55
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:17,780
There was a phone call at home, which my mother picked up.
56
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,780
She said: “It's Trapattoni on the phone!"
57
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:23,700
I honestly thought it was a mate playing a prank on me
58
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:29,500
because there'd been talk for a while
in the papers about interest in me
59
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:31,740
from Inter, Juve, Napoli.
60
00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:33,980
So to start with I thought it was a joke.
61
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:42,060
The team was assembled perfectly and,
after a slightly underwhelming start,
62
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:47,380
the team gradually grew in confidence
and were devastating in some games.
63
00:06:52,820 --> 00:07:00,260
As a football fan, I enjoyed
having a relationship with these great players
64
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:07,060
who gave me great pleasure.
65
00:07:08,140 --> 00:07:16,020
Sometimes there'd be regrets but overall I'm happy
66
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:19,340
with the relationships I've had with everyone.
67
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:14,860
This is an Inter side that wants to go far
and which plays with heart.
68
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:17,060
This team gives everything.
69
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:20,660
We played very well in the first half
and could have put the game to bed.
70
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:24,620
The first half went very well
but the score was only 1-0.
71
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:28,740
We pushed on in the second period,
perhaps having more of the play.
72
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:31,420
but Inter were always very dangerous on the counter.
73
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:38,460
It's nice because we are friends -
you need that in some games.
74
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:44,800
I hope he makes some great saves
but that there are a few shots he can't stop.
75
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:47,220
If I win, I'll invite him for dinner.
76
00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:49,100
I can't - I need to go straight home.
77
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,200
They could well have thought that year
78
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,340
that even throwing grenades at me they wouldn't have scored.
79
00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:22,780
At the same time, however, I had top guys in front of me
80
00:09:22,780 --> 00:09:24,260
who knew what they were doing.
81
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:27,220
We were very solid in every area of the pitch
82
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:30,740
starting in defence, where we were criticised at the start of the season.
83
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:34,860
We showed we've got the necessary focus
for big games - we're still the Inter rearguard.
84
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:15,060
I spent a lot of my teenage years with Beppe
85
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:18,940
because we met at a trial at Inter in 1977.
86
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:25,460
There were a series of trials
and they took on two of us: me and him.
87
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,380
I turned to him and thought he was the bus driver
88
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:30,900
or a player from the Primavera,
89
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:35,300
because he had this full moustache
and a very serious air about him.
90
00:10:36,420 --> 00:10:39,140
I spent many years of my life with him.
91
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:42,140
He was one of the best in the world,
92
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:45,380
exceptional in one-on-ones.
93
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,420
Beppe Bergomi's qualities...
94
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:52,700
I think they were more general:
his serious, hard-working approach,
95
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:58,780
desire to improve, good physicality and dedication.
96
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:01,220
Bergomi was stupendous
97
00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:04,780
in every way.
98
00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:10,340
A great player but also a proper guy, a true man.
99
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:16,460
Uncle Bergomi was one of the best I ever played with.
100
00:11:58,180 --> 00:12:00,260
A clean challenge - so swift from Berti!
101
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:02,780
Now on the counter... still Berti!
102
00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:05,020
Berti, Berti!
103
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:10,220
He shoots… what a goal!
104
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:12,340
Berti scores! Exceptional!
105
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:15,300
I went to my knees.
106
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:19,140
It was snowing, my father was there
- he was still alive - in Munich.
107
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:21,180
It was an incredible feeling.
108
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:24,700
An amazing goal - I'm always reminded of it.
109
00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:29,060
People always jokingly remind me of the return leg.
110
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:35,140
That's how it is, but that goal still remains - one of the best in Inter's history.
111
00:12:35,140 --> 00:12:38,900
We can say it now:
that goal against Bayern was a nightmare!
112
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:41,900
He kept on trying it.
113
00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:45,440
After scoring that goal, which was fantastic,
114
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:47,720
extraordinary, worthy of the Nobel Prize,
115
00:12:48,580 --> 00:12:51,740
whenever he got the ball he'd try and do the same thing.
116
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:56,580
We used to say: “We'll open the gates
and you take the road from Milan to Como!"
117
00:13:19,780 --> 00:13:26,260
Nicolino, Nicola Berti,
“the crazy horse”, as many called him.
118
00:13:27,060 --> 00:13:30,860
He was a very important player
to the record-breaking Inter team
119
00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:35,740
but also for the many years he was in the side.
120
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:47,540
He had great physicality
- he could run 80 yards and score all on his own.
121
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:49,260
He didn't have first-rate technique.
122
00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:55,100
Nicola's strength was always
his physicality and fearlessness.
123
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:11,140
He was a pleasant surprise, as a team-mate
but also as a professional and player.
124
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:16,700
He had a great influence -
he was a driving force, also with his gestures.
125
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:22,260
He'd always celebrate in a way
that got the crowd going.
126
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:24,220
He earned affection
127
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:26,460
and provided real spirit.
128
00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:31,180
He perhaps had some shortcomings
from a technical perspective
129
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:36,340
but he made up for that
with constant desire and unselfishness.
130
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:59,540
Nicola Berti was fundamental for the
Nerazzurri fans - that's what they want to see.
131
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:03,060
The Inter fans would come and say:
"Give everything. Play with heart.
132
00:15:03,060 --> 00:15:06,220
The fans will get behind you and raise you up."
133
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:10,060
They see me and start chanting:
“Nicola Berti give us a goal."
134
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:12,140
I see this wonderful image.
135
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:17,620
I saw everyone in the Curva Nord
moving towards the 'arancio' stand.
136
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:22,460
I was almost in tears -
my son didn't know what was going on.
137
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:24,580
Don't get me all emotional like that, guys!
138
00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:26,500
Honestly, it was crazy.
139
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,100
I get goosebumps even now. Wonderful.
140
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:49,020
We played to win the game.
We perhaps struggled a bit in the second half.
141
00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:52,580
However, all in all, we're top and happy.
142
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:05,350
I think it's down to the spirit we showed
in this very tough game,
143
00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:08,860
and also with the week we have coming up.
144
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,070
It was crazy.
145
00:16:23,380 --> 00:16:27,180
Brehme got injured
and we conceded three goals in 15 minutes.
146
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:31,580
We then managed to score,
with me providing the assist for Serena,
147
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,580
on the stroke of half-time.
148
00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:36,040
We then had a brilliant second half,
149
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,660
we kept pushing forward and just needed one goal.
150
00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:42,860
It was the sort of game you can't say anything about
because we gave it our all.
151
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:48,540
It was the type of defeat that makes you proud
when you watch it back because you gave it your all.
152
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:54,110
We played rather well and were unlucky.
153
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:57,900
Trap didn't change it straight away
when Brehme got injured.
154
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,820
He waited a few minutes to see if Andy would make it.
155
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:05,760
In those six minutes,
the game got away from us,
156
00:17:05,950 --> 00:17:08,620
although I scored to make it 3-1
on the stroke of half-time.
157
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:13,140
We had some fantastic chances in the second half,
158
00:17:13,340 --> 00:17:16,100
but we just couldn't put them away.
159
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:19,130
It was the derby three days later.
160
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,910
The derby with Italian champions Milan certainly was a big deal.
161
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,420
The derby that year
was a battle between revolutionaries.
162
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,420
The revolutionaries who
were innovating the game
163
00:17:35,620 --> 00:17:39,060
and the revolutionaries who
wanted to overturn a hierarchy.
164
00:17:39,660 --> 00:17:42,980
It was a battle to rule the city
and to conquer Italy.
165
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:48,780
It was football at its very finest;
a contest worthy of the greatest stage.
166
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:58,130
You get into the ring with Tyson and say,
167
00:17:58,330 --> 00:18:03,420
“Let's just see where I can limit the damage
and then I'll hit him when I can."
168
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,940
If he gives you a chance, you have to knock him out.
169
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:11,780
On that occasion, we did really well, with Beppe
putting in a cross for Aldo from the right
170
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:20,540
and we really enjoyed that moment, which boosted
our self-esteem and belief in ourselves
171
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:23,620
and so we managed to pick up a crucial result.
172
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,120
It was so important for us.
173
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,650
The atmosphere created around us
before the Bayern game
174
00:18:35,930 --> 00:18:40,020
was fantastic among fans
and everyone at the club.
175
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:46,930
We were all united, but the loss on the Wednesday
could've disrupted the balance that we'd struck.
176
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:51,280
We were aware of that and
battled for the 90 minutes today.
177
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:56,740
wanting to come out on top at all costs
to get back to winning ways.
178
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,380
It'll be hard to play well every Sunday,
but we'll try.
179
00:20:13,340 --> 00:20:15,510
I've scored four headers in the league this year
180
00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:17,250
and hope to score more key ones.
181
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,940
Serena: 25 goals guaranteed.
182
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:07,220
It was a great team display.
183
00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:24,980
The tip came from Lothar Matthaus.
184
00:21:26,260 --> 00:21:37,100
We were looking for a left-back,
who would best complete that team,
185
00:21:37,310 --> 00:21:39,300
or to say it correctly: that brilliant team.
186
00:21:40,980 --> 00:21:48,300
Lothar said to me, “There's a player in Germany
who I know and who's fantastic.
187
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:54,140
Andy was a great friend of mine, not just at Inter,
but also at Bayern and with Germany.
188
00:21:55,020 --> 00:21:57,820
You all saw what he did for Inter.
189
00:22:06,430 --> 00:22:09,620
He was a player who arrived
without sparking much interest
190
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,470
among those who
didn't follow international football.
191
00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:15,580
We knew he was a quality player,
192
00:22:15,770 --> 00:22:21,390
one who'd certainly played a key role,
193
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:24,220
not just for his club,
but also for the national team.
194
00:22:24,820 --> 00:22:30,020
When in possession, he was a player
who moved the ball with clear ideas
195
00:22:30,210 --> 00:22:35,240
and he had remarkable technical ability
for his position.
196
00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:42,260
I think he was a playmaker playing out wide,
197
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:45,180
and when you had problems on the ball,
you'd give it to him.
198
00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:48,700
Even if he wasn't help by his team-mates,
with his left and right feet
199
00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:52,980
he seemed a bit like a duck when he ran,
but he was fantastic.
200
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:55,660
He could pick you out
40 metres away on the other side,
201
00:22:55,850 --> 00:22:57,810
even if pressed by two or three players.
202
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:01,790
He could hit it with his right or his left
and his passing was precise.
203
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:08,100
He always kept a cool head and remained calm,
even during the toughest periods of the game.
204
00:23:12,540 --> 00:23:15,700
It really was a fantastic league campaign.
205
00:24:10,730 --> 00:24:13,970
They have an incredible goalkeeper;
I think that's Inter's strength.
206
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:19,500
Their defence certainly suffered today,
against Antonio Careca and Carnevale,
207
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:24,980
but Zenga was behind them
and he had a blinder.
208
00:24:45,340 --> 00:24:49,380
I still remember when my father came
and said, "Inter have signed you."
209
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:56,880
There were tears of joy
and it was such a strong emotion.
210
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:00,700
There were three of us: Ambu, Fumagalli and me.
211
00:25:01,420 --> 00:25:05,420
If I'm not mistaken, Inter paid 1 million euro
for the three of us in materials:
212
00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:07,180
Footballs and the rest…
213
00:25:07,180 --> 00:25:10,140
That's when my adventure began.
214
00:25:24,460 --> 00:25:27,180
He was the number one goalkeeper in the world.
215
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:30,420
There's no doubt he was a wonderful goalkeeper.
216
00:25:33,020 --> 00:25:40,380
He had a rather special character type,
but that didn't matter much.
217
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:03,460
Walter was named the best goalkeeper
in the world on multiple occasions.
218
00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:07,900
and I don't think there was much competition.
219
00:26:09,060 --> 00:26:10,860
We didn't win much back then,
220
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:18,580
so the spotlight wasn't on us
domestically and in Europe,
221
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,860
but he often caught the eye
with his extraordinary saves,
222
00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:27,260
which was down to his attitude, positional sense,
223
00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:30,820
and the charisma that
he transmitted to the whole team.
224
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:33,980
I'm happy because I play football, I do a job that I enjoy
225
00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:38,220
I play for the team from my city and
we're top of the league. I couldn't be happier.
226
00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:06,260
It was an extraordinary campaign
right from the start,
227
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:09,510
with how it'd gone
in the transfer market that summer,
228
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:14,860
and how the bond between the team and the coach
had been strengthened.
229
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:21,310
That's how the year went and I'll repeat,
in the Bayern game,
230
00:27:21,580 --> 00:27:25,670
if we'd had that slice of luck that evening,
231
00:27:25,860 --> 00:27:29,050
just as we'd had at the start,
with the league season being delayed,
232
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:32,420
we probably would've won a spectacular double.
233
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,060
It went well, we dug in against a strong side.
234
00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:32,540
Fiorentina are a team that, as I'd expected,
235
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:38,900
regardless of how they're doing in
the Coppa Italia, could cause us problems.
236
00:28:39,110 --> 00:28:41,860
Inter are a great side. I don't think today's defeat
237
00:28:42,060 --> 00:28:44,100
will derail them.
238
00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:48,010
They can certainly compete
for the Scudetto with Napoli,
239
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:53,340
but we produced a great display today
and I think it was a fair result.
240
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:17,460
At the start, you need to learn to fly.
241
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,850
Right now, we're just focusing on ourselves,
242
00:30:01,060 --> 00:30:04,250
even though, from a selfish point of view,
we might hope
243
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:07,170
our rivals slip up, just as people have said.
244
00:30:31,940 --> 00:30:34,010
My strength is continuing to work hard,
245
00:30:34,180 --> 00:30:37,980
I've suffered so much,
but the results will certainly come.
246
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:10,220
Ramon Diaz came in, when it was supposed
to be Majer, and he had a brilliant season.
247
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:18,430
Although there wasn't much initial excitement
about Brehme and Diaz,
248
00:31:19,130 --> 00:31:22,820
they showed what fantastic players
they were on the pitch.
249
00:31:23,510 --> 00:31:27,460
To have a league campaign like that,
you need top players,
250
00:31:27,650 --> 00:31:31,780
who can dig deep and reach the next level.
251
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:44,420
I used to link up so well with Ramon.
he was a player who'd drift out wide,
252
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:49,860
and was so technically gifted,
as well as being very fast.
253
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,300
I would open things up for him as the target man,
254
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:57,420
and he'd break into the area
when I headed it on to him.
255
00:32:15,420 --> 00:32:20,910
I think he scored 12 or 13 goals
between November and the end of the season.
256
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,180
He did so well,
257
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,380
and he was a boy who'd come in that everyone loved.
258
00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:34,660
I remember Ramon Diaz's tears when he left.
259
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:38,140
It was as if a family member
were joining the military.
260
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,200
I feel there's an element of luck involved
when a defender scores,
261
00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:14,100
but that doesn't apply to
what we work on in the week.
262
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,300
Do you feel it's in the bag?
263
00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:18,540
A bit!
264
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:50,220
I'm not scared of Milan, Napoli or Juve.
265
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:56,340
We're a good team with fine players
and I'm not scared of anyone.
266
00:33:56,340 --> 00:34:01,340
"Ja, ja, coach. Juventus are good, but we're better!"
267
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:23,820
Lothar Matthaus had been recommended to me
by "Kalle" Rummenigge.
268
00:34:25,060 --> 00:34:32,460
I remember that I organised a small dinner
at mine with "Kalle" and Lothar.
269
00:34:33,700 --> 00:34:39,220
Lothar said to me, “I can't come next year,
270
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:44,820
but I'll play for Inter in two years if you agree."
271
00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:56,820
When I'm asked which foreigner had the biggest
influence and made the biggest difference,
272
00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:58,140
I say "Lothar Matthaus".
273
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:06,620
He was a great, a Ballon d'Or winner, a leader.
274
00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:10,860
He'd put in a wonderful shift.
275
00:35:19,420 --> 00:35:22,740
I recognised Lothar Matthaus
as the leader of that side,
276
00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:27,430
because he was the one who would win you games
and he'd say so.
277
00:35:27,660 --> 00:35:29,980
He'd say, "Beppe, I'm going to score tomorrow."
278
00:35:30,140 --> 00:35:33,360
When things weren't going well in a game,
279
00:35:33,550 --> 00:35:35,460
Matthaus would pop up on the edge of the box,
280
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:37,690
he wanted the ball and would say, "I've got this."
281
00:35:47,460 --> 00:35:52,780
There were rumours that he had a new girlfriend
in northern Switzerland
282
00:35:53,460 --> 00:35:57,070
and every day he'd drive to see her.
283
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:01,510
Trapattoni would check the speedometer
because he'd leave the keys with Casagrande.
284
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:05,830
He would check the speedometer and
always saw the mileage was above average.
285
00:36:06,130 --> 00:36:11,980
He got Zenga, Bergomi and me involved and said,
“What's the German doing?
286
00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:17,420
He does 2,500-3,000 kilometres every day.
Something doesn't add up."
287
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:20,560
And so he changed his car every day.
288
00:36:20,940 --> 00:36:24,620
Trap said, "He knows I'm checking his car!"
289
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:35,060
He had mental strength in sport,
on the pitch, in training,
290
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:42,500
which put his mischief from the evening
before or the next day into the background.
291
00:36:43,780 --> 00:36:46,220
He was always the best on the pitch.
292
00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:54,010
He was complete: he was fast,
293
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:59,150
he had an exceptional right foot,
294
00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:02,740
he was physically strong.
295
00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:11,380
When the team needed a player like him,
he was always ready.
296
00:37:16,460 --> 00:37:20,680
I didn't come to Inter to play
for third or fourth place.
297
00:37:20,860 --> 00:37:23,820
I came here to win.
298
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:39,780
OK, defend it!
299
00:37:56,220 --> 00:37:59,100
This Inter team could make history today.
300
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,300
Let's leave past honours
to those who achieved them.
301
00:38:03,470 --> 00:38:07,380
We can say that we have hope
for our own possible future honours.
302
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:25,540
Lothar, number four!
303
00:38:26,620 --> 00:38:32,220
I had the chance to agree on a three-year contract.
304
00:38:33,580 --> 00:38:37,540
I said, "In three years,
I guarantee we'll win something."
305
00:38:45,820 --> 00:38:49,330
Trapattoni had a choice to make:
306
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:54,150
he had to choose between Collovati and me,
and decided to put his faith in me at the time.
307
00:38:54,340 --> 00:38:57,290
I tried to repay him as quickly as possible.
308
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,920
He moved me from a second striker
to a centre-forward.
309
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,020
and the Trapattoni years were when I really established myself,
310
00:39:07,380 --> 00:39:11,700
and exploded physically as an athlete.
311
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:19,810
Trapattoni was simply the master,
312
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,860
in terms of building a team,
bringing out the players' attributes
313
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:29,180
and he was an excellent motivator.
314
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:39,940
As for the way Trapattoni managed the team
and his way of speaking
315
00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:45,620
and explaining things,
it made you able to give your all,
316
00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:50,910
to be ready in games and always say yes to him,
317
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:58,180
because you knew he was a demanding coach,
but he knew your worth and what you were doing.
318
00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:02,330
Roma have scored.
319
00:40:02,540 --> 00:40:05,220
Roma take the lead through Voller.
320
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:13,220
He was my best coach
and an exceptional person as well.
321
00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:20,540
He won the lot in his career and not just once,
but multiple times.
322
00:40:21,260 --> 00:40:28,540
When he was at Stuttgart, I was his assistant
and it was fantastic to be with him.
323
00:40:34,460 --> 00:40:41,220
Trap will probably still be coaching at 80;
it really runs through his blood.
324
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:43,060
He's the type who understands...
325
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:49,540
Ten years ago, he was already reaching places
that coaches nowadays don't reach.
326
00:40:49,820 --> 00:40:53,740
He's been part of three footballing generations
and nobody has a bad word to say about him.
327
00:41:26,940 --> 00:41:30,320
Inter are "stupendous",
just as a Milan newspaper described us.
328
00:41:30,490 --> 00:41:31,710
We've been amazing this year.
329
00:41:31,810 --> 00:41:34,530
We were rubbish last year,
but we've been superb this year.
330
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:49,940
We certainly had a strong team, a group of leaders,
331
00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:58,540
with players who'd been at Inter for years,
like Zenga, Bergomi, Baresi,
332
00:42:01,180 --> 00:42:07,070
who really helped us integrate ourselves
in the squad.
333
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,860
Anyone who comes through the academy
and makes history at the club
334
00:42:11,060 --> 00:42:13,100
becomes an important role model.
335
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:20,780
The atmosphere, the coach, the moment when
that excitement springs into life.
336
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,480
Now and again, I watch those games back
because I enjoy it,
337
00:42:24,660 --> 00:42:31,020
to see that passion, calmness and
those clear-headed players running around.
338
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:35,660
He makes you feel that
everyone can perform at their best.
339
00:42:35,850 --> 00:42:43,020
I saw the team's quality and that's why
all the work with the coach,
340
00:42:43,180 --> 00:42:46,380
and not just with Trapattoni,
but his technical staff as well,
341
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:50,300
was something both new and interesting.
342
00:42:50,430 --> 00:42:54,820
I wanted to learn new things in Italy every day.
343
00:42:57,020 --> 00:43:03,380
I was sure from the start that we were among
the favourites to win the league.
344
00:43:28,930 --> 00:43:32,070
Neither side came out on top,
but maybe we're the happier of the two.
345
00:43:49,420 --> 00:43:50,460
Bring it up!
346
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:04,580
After equalising, we tried to manage the game,
347
00:44:04,580 --> 00:44:07,500
because taking unnecessary risks
would've been foolish.
348
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:11,660
We still have a six-point lead and
managed to draw away to a good Juve side.
349
00:44:11,660 --> 00:44:12,460
We're pleased.
350
00:44:31,580 --> 00:44:33,820
All the top players were playing here.
351
00:44:33,820 --> 00:44:36,980
The teams had the best players in the world.
352
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:39,900
Every Sunday you had to face
the Van Bastens, the Gullits,
353
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:42,940
the Carecas, the Mancinis, the Viallis.
They were all here.
354
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:55,300
Maradona… If I had to make a list of
all the players I marked,
355
00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:57,980
it'd be hard to find one who wasn't good.
356
00:44:57,980 --> 00:45:02,140
I think he was the best and
he made the difference for Napoli.
357
00:45:02,140 --> 00:45:03,500
A great player.
358
00:45:06,820 --> 00:45:08,700
So many forget Careca.
359
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:12,540
As for Careca, besides having a team
that played to his strengths,
360
00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:15,100
he was simply unplayable at times.
361
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:31,020
Ruud Gullit was wonderful, so quick, tall, strong
and technically gifted. What a player.
362
00:45:37,540 --> 00:45:48,760
I have Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Donadoni, Maldini,
Franco Baresi, Billy Costacurta and the rest in front of me.
363
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,580
but I was trying to understand:
364
00:45:51,410 --> 00:45:54,940
“They'll be thinking the same. We have Walter
to beat, how are we going to score?"
365
00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:58,500
Milan were a great team, but we had so much heart.
366
00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:01,020
It was with that heart that we won the Scudetto.
367
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:05,220
And so it came to the decisive day.
368
00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:08,140
Inter led Napoli by seven points:
369
00:46:08,140 --> 00:46:12,740
two more points, a win, and Inter would claim
the Scudetto with four games to spare.
370
00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:16,540
Napoli were perhaps unlikely
to catch up at that late stage,
371
00:46:16,540 --> 00:46:19,900
but they were certainly keen to ruin Inter’s Scudetto party.
372
00:46:41,370 --> 00:46:42,980
Lads, here...
373
00:46:44,220 --> 00:46:45,220
Go on, Giovanni!
374
00:46:46,860 --> 00:46:47,700
Aldo!
375
00:46:51,380 --> 00:46:52,340
Come on, it's over!
376
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:17,340
We're champions of Italy!
377
00:47:17,380 --> 00:47:20,260
It's a remarkable and unique feat.
378
00:47:21,060 --> 00:47:25,540
It's a brilliant achievement which this team
have wanted since day one and they deserve it.
379
00:47:28,420 --> 00:47:30,500
It's amazing and these fans are magnificent!
380
00:47:30,500 --> 00:47:33,940
We've been top since day one,
so we've shown we're the best.
381
00:47:33,940 --> 00:47:37,060
I can't take it anymore, I swear. I'm over the moon!
382
00:47:43,460 --> 00:47:50,700
Nerazzurri, allez allez! Nerazzurri allez!
383
00:47:51,580 --> 00:47:56,700
When you have exceptional lads, like in this
squad, we drive one another forward,
384
00:47:56,700 --> 00:48:00,220
we help one another and
success just has to follow.
385
00:48:04,140 --> 00:48:08,180
This Scudetto is worth as much as the three
league titles I won with Bayern in Germany.
386
00:48:08,180 --> 00:48:12,420
52 points in 30 games.
This Inter side are incredible!
387
00:48:12,420 --> 00:48:17,780
Congratulations, Walter, you deserve it.
388
00:48:17,780 --> 00:48:19,620
I'm happy and proud.
389
00:48:20,620 --> 00:48:23,830
I'm happy for our fantastic fans,
390
00:48:24,330 --> 00:48:30,160
proud of our team which have tasted success,
been convincing and entertained.
391
00:48:40,900 --> 00:48:43,860
Winning it with four games to spare
is remarkable.
392
00:48:43,860 --> 00:48:51,060
We enjoyed playing together,
so we kept going after winning the Scudetto
393
00:48:51,060 --> 00:48:54,860
and tried to win the last four games.
394
00:48:54,860 --> 00:49:02,540
I never thought about the record, but when
you taste success, you want more and more of it.
395
00:49:02,540 --> 00:49:05,860
It was a memorable feat because
we took on that Milan side,
396
00:49:05,860 --> 00:49:09,780
as well as that Juve team,
and won the league at a canter.
397
00:49:09,780 --> 00:49:14,980
Those small victories were achieved
on the pitch minute after minute.
398
00:49:32,660 --> 00:49:36,780
That team were formidable and should've had
a sustained period of success.
399
00:49:38,140 --> 00:49:41,340
Even now when I think about it,
I have to close my eyes,
400
00:49:41,340 --> 00:49:44,380
I was so lucky to play alongside top players.
401
00:49:44,380 --> 00:49:45,580
I must say this:
402
00:49:45,620 --> 00:49:47,890
I played football for 21 years,
403
00:49:48,130 --> 00:49:52,630
but my four years in Italy with Inter
were more exciting than all the rest.
404
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:16,940
That record marked a boundary
which no one else was ever able to cross.
405
00:50:18,460 --> 00:50:23,300
The 1988/89 season saw Inter go further
than anyone else ever managed to go,
406
00:50:24,260 --> 00:50:28,700
creating a legend of unbeatable numbers
and unforgettable stars.
407
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:32,260
That’s why the record-breaking Inter side
is not just nostalgia.
408
00:50:32,260 --> 00:50:33,940
It is history.
