Getting to know the stars: Esteban Cambiasso

We gave fans the chance to ask Olympiacos midfielder – and 2010 UEFA Champions League winner with Internazionale Milano – Esteban Cambiasso their questions in a live Q&A.

Best coach you have worked with?

Cambiasso: Every coach means something to all players. I would say José Pekerman for what he gave to my development as a young player.

Best player you played with at Inter?

Cambiasso: It's difficult to pick just one. For his consistency, our friendship and many personal reasons, I would pick Javier Zanetti.

Cambiasso: I would like to have played alongside Kakà. 

Has anything in your career topped winning the champions league or even come close?

Cambiasso: In my career, no, nothing has come close to winning the Champions League. In my life, my children.

Do you believe that Leicester can qualify for next season's Champions League?

Cambiasso: Football is made of dreams. I imagine that Leicester City have different aspirations than that this season, but dreams are there to be realised.

Have you settled in at Olympiacos?

Cambiasso: Yes; I like it. I feel very welcomed here and I have met plenty of very nice people. I'm feeling good!

What does football mean to you?

Cambiasso: Football is a very important part of my life. I experience it passionately. If I were to use one word to describe football, I would say 'passion'.
