Javier Adelmar Zanetti (Spanish:[xaˈβjeɾaðelˈmaɾsaˈneti], Italian:[dzaˈnetti]; born 10 August 1973) is an Argentine former professional footballer. Regarded as one of the best right-backs of all time, Zanetti is well known for having dedicated almost his entire career at Inter Milan,[3][4] having a key role in the historic treble-winning 2009–10 season.

Rambert, affectionately known as “Avioncito” for his speed, was the eagerly awaited purchase for Inter fans. In contrast, Zanetti, a 22-year-old defender from Banfield, was relatively unknown, and initially, he didn’t capture much attention.
However, it didn’t take long for fans to become acquainted with him and appreciate the remarkable skills of one of the greatest defenders in football history.
Javier Aldemar Zanetti, born in Buenos Aires on August 10, 1973, marked his debut in Serie A on August 27, 1995, at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, facing Vicenza.
