Inter Milan fullback Nagatomo excited about first Coppa Italia final

Inter Milan fullback Yuto Nagatomo is looking forward to their Coppa Italia final against Palermo.

Nagatomo has impressed since his January loan move from Cesena.

"It will be my first Final in Italy and to win it in my first year with this team would also be a source of great personal satisfaction for me," said the Japan international.

"I'll be able to finish a season that I never expected would be at such a high level. But I play for Inter and the objective of this team is always to win."

The Japanese international also praised captain Javier Zanetti who played in his 1,000th game as a professional last night.

"He's very important for me, but he's actually very important for the whole team," continued the full-back.

"I have a special relationship with him. We room together and he always gives me valuable advice."
