Inter, Marotta: “Inzaghi, there is trust but..”

When Giuseppe Marotta speaks, he “says”. In 21st-century football this is not something to be taken for granted, but the Inter chief executive reiterated it even before the match against Juventus: “We have faith in Simone Inzaghi and we have said it. There is a long-standing relationship of trust with him, we’re happy, we have three different goals, we’re still fighting a bit for everything. In the league we’re a bit discontinuous – admits Marotta to Sport Mediaset -, 27 points are missing, we have to find the lost continuity. Tonight we’ll play a semifinal, next week a quarter of the Champions League. The journey was quite important. The most important thing for the club is the Champions League, imagining being out would mean reviewing all the plans for next year.”

And then again on the difficulties in the league: “In level matches the players charge themselves almost by themselves. Instead, when we played in the league with other so-called provincial teams – explains the CEO – , we missed out. Points lost more for demerits ours which, due to the merits of others, is probably a mental fact, of concentration”. Finally, Marotta is also keen to reaffirm the unity of purpose within the club, at every level: “We are very close at management level with the coach, including Ausilio and Baccin. We also spoke yesterday with the players, as always. The dialectic it is frequent. He must not interfere in the management of the coach who is the leader, he uses the right dynamics for concentration and organization of matches. Everyone, not just the coaches, is under scrutiny, including us. If the objectives are not met, the there will be many guilty”.
