“Will I play? That is the boss’ decision. He knows that I am available whenever he needs me.”
The veteran then commented on his side’s recent derby defeat to Milan and Inter President Erick Thohir.
“Unfortunately we didn’t win and we didn’t play well, but now we need to think about our two final matches.
“I think they will be difficult, but the most important thing will be how we approach them.
“The fact that everything is still in our hands is crucial and we will do everything we can to beat Lazio and Chievo.
“Thohir is always very close to us. He was with us last week and he is coming to the next game, which is crucial.
“The first thing he said to me was that I am a legend, not just of Inter but of world football. That gave me enormous pleasure.”
