This Inter no longer surprises him. Because by now Beppe Marotta has gotten used to the continuous growth of a team that has improved year after year since Simone Inzaghi took over. Winning the 2023-24 scudetto for some might have seemed like a point of arrival but instead the team continues to “rise” and collect great successes. Like Monday evening, when they overwhelmed Lazio at the Olimpico. In the past, Lautaro and his teammates had suffered (and lost) in the Biancoceleste stadium, while this time they won with impressive authority and confidence. Qualities that do not surprise the Nerazzurri president, the one who, together with sporting director Piero Ausilio and his deputy Dario Baccin, planned the summer strengthening campaign. Operations (on all the arrivals of Taremi and Zielinski) which further strengthened the group made available to the Piacenza coach. “The concept that work culture and competence always lead to improvement is well applied to this start of the season. This is why I am not amazed by the fact that Inter has grown compared to the past” said Marotta, who was present in Genoa yesterday. at the tenth edition of the Gazzetta Sports Awards to collect the team of the year award, won by his Inter.

Don’t get excited

The Nerazzurri are third in the Serie A standings, three behind leaders Atalanta, but with a game to recover, and are in full swing to reach the Champions League round of 16 without making the playoffs. A nice business card, but according to the number one on Viale della Liberazione… they are a start. “There’s no need to get too excited, but the signs so far are very positive. Personally, I was confident that the team would continue along the path traced in recent seasons and that there would be progress. Now that these improvements have become a reality, we must not stop, but move forward and work even harder. To grow even more.” The goal is to win the second championship in a row, number 21, Marotta specified that “before the end of the first round the teams cannot be excluded from the race for the championship. formations that are a few point back”. Like for example Juventus and Milan. The reality, however, at this moment, says that Atalanta, Napoli and Inter will create a good three-way sprint. And the Goddess, according to the Inter president, is in full swing: “We are talking about an important reality in our football and in world football thanks to the club and a technical management that have guaranteed a sensational exploit like that of the victory of the Europa League Atalanta supports the thesis that it is not true that the more you spend, the more you win… They have become a virtuous and winning model. For most, that triumph in Dublin may be unexpected, but it is not for those who know it well the people they work for Atalanta are certainly among the main candidates to win the scudetto because, thanks to the success in May, they have acquired a winning mentality, which is certainly not easy. I am convinced that they will be able to handle the pressures that will arise during the season they are the hare and we are the hunters… Napoli is in touch with Conte: there have been some dialectical clashes, but those are the facade between us. Antonio is a good professional who has won a lot and has an advantage this experience. He, Gasperini and Inzaghi live this beautiful job to the fullest. The coach is fundamental and has a huge impact on the team’s successes, even if alongside the victories of a great team there is always a great club.”

Well done Simone

Marotta concluded with compliments for “his” Inzaghi: “When he arrived at Inter he was good, but now he has become very good. To his great abilities he has added, day after day, experience which has increased his value Simone has the good fortune of having been a footballer, of knowing the locker room and the dynamics within it. He uses the turnover well and makes the most of the group we have and we are happy that be with us.”
