Zanetti: Benitez broke Inter Milan


Inter Milan skipper Javier Zanetti has accused former manager Rafael Benitez of destroying the club.
Former Liverpool tactician Benitez was fired after launching an amazing tirade on Inter owner Massimo Moratti for failing to back him during the transfer window at the start of the campaign.
With former AC Milan chief Leonardo installed as the club's new manager, Inter have now strung together three straight league wins under the Brazilian's guidance.
"Benitez broke something in our environment after what he said at the Club World Cup," Zanetti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Leonardo has another mind though, another enthusiasm, and we are better now.

"We played well under Benitez when we had a full squad, but those comments broke something.

"I always said we would be competitive when we had a full squad, but we have to take things game by game and hope the others make mistakes."
Inter notched a relatively easy 4-1 win over struggling Bologna at the weekend and are currently sixth in the Serie A standings.
