Zamorano on '98 against Juve: Witnessing Big Ronaldo being knocked down, I wonder why he didn't blow a penalty

Live Bar October 26, 2019 Former Inter star and Chilean football star Zamorano recently gave an interview to the Italian website Fanpage.it, he once again recalled the bits and pieces of his blue and black career, and he also talked about the famous battle between Inter and Juve in April 1998.

<b>About my time at Inter</b>

"It was a very painful time for Inter, we were close to winning the league many times and Inter had a deep connection with the fans. The blue and black fans are passionate, like fighters, just like me. In that 'crazy Inter' period, we only won one Europa League, but I felt the deep feelings of the fans for me. I've been fighting, and from a young age, I needed to earn bread to support myself. ”

<b>In inter's four full seasons, you'll always find playing space, even though there were characters like Ronaldo, Baggio and Vieri. </b>

"Perseverance has always been my main talent. Think about the original scenario: I came from Real Madrid and Baldano no longer wanted me, even though I was the top scorer of the 1994-95 season. As soon as I came to Inter, I knew I had to listen to what my mother had taught me when I was a child. I have to fight to find the starting spot, which is why the Inter fans love me because I never surrender, even in the toughest of times. ”

<b>When was the happiest time in an Inter jersey? </b>

"Of course it was the UEFA Cup final (in 1998) that beat Lazio in Paris, and that night we were in the City of Lights, where a beam of light illuminated us in an extraordinary way. I scored the first goal of that game, we won the game and I became the first Chilean to win a trophy on the European continent. ”

<b>However, before that World Cup started, you had the regret of losing the league title....</b>

"Football is like that. One accident can decide everything. I was two metres away when I saw Uriano knock down Ronaldo in the penalty area and I didn't understand why the referee didn't blow the penalty. In that moment we realized that this was theft. The referee then gave Juve another penalty. ”
