Zanetti: Inter Milan want to build team around Kovacic

Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti feels there's more to come from Mateo Kovacic.

The former Inter captain believes only self-belief is holding back the young midfielder.

"Kovacic? He must find self-confidence, because I believe that the club plans a lot around him in the present and for the future.

"He's having little space, but I'm confident and I think that he will give us a big hand."

Asked about Xherdan Shaqiri, on-loan from Bayern Munich, Zanetti adds: "He is very important.

"He's one of those players who can invent the game. I think this team has a player of great quality."
