Marotta:"With Inzaghi we are going through a cycle that hasn’t yet come to an end"

The words of the Inter Milan president on Inzaghi's team's moment after the victory over Atalanta

Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta, speaking to Skysport via FcInter1908.it, commented on the current moment of Inzaghi's team, who are top of the table after their 2-0 victory over Atalanta. 

Here are the words of the club's top executive: "Certainly, it’s a happy moment, but with great and healthy realism. We know we have to face these two months until the end of the season, and then there will be the Club World Cup, an atypical continuation as well. We have competitions where we are present as protagonists, and we want to be that, as history tells us. These are merits we owe to the coach, who has acted excellently. But in general, the team, the club, the ownership, the fans: there is a proactive atmosphere to ensure we arrive at the finish line in the best possible condition."

The renewal of Inzaghi is also being discussed...

"We always do everything with a calm approach. There are all the prerequisites to imagine he will stay with us. What matters is the symbiosis that has been created between us and the club, and these are the right conditions to go far. With Inzaghi, we’ve all grown, we are going through a cycle that hasn’t yet come to an end. There is a new ownership, new energy, new determination, new objectives, and the stadium project shows how the shareholders believe in the project, with all the prerequisites to continue together."

Maintaining competitiveness: searching for promising young talents and keeping a top-tier approach...

"You need to be flexible. At this moment in Italy, clubs are modeled on a reference framework from European sports. In this case, Italy is not the Eldorado of the 1990s. Today, there is no possibility of spending freely, so we need to make the best out of necessity and be good at creating a strong, competitive team while not forgetting sustainability, which always needs to be achieved and supported. I'm not talking about the Treble, definitely. But all athletes, managers, coaches, and fans must be ambitious, and in sports, ambition has significant value. It makes you give more in terms of motivation, even beyond your possibilities. We are professionals, prepared to compete until the end, maybe even with those who are stronger. The important thing is to be there at the right moment. Then, if there are others better than us, we’ll congratulate them and bow to them."
