Marco Materazzi: "I do not see soì many teams at the level of Inter'Inter"

Speaking at the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", former Azzurri defender Marco Materazzi è expressed himself bluntly about the challenge that awaits Inter against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16. In addition, the "former "Triplete" winner also è unbalanced himself regarding the Nerazzurri's chances of victory.

Materazzi: "Inter has all the cards to go all the way"

"Granted that the Champions è a very different competition from the league and that in some respects è always a jackpot, I am convinced that Inter can go all the way even in this edition. I do not see teams playing with the same conviction in their own means and with this fluidity of performance – said the former Nerazzurri defender".

Materazzi: "In case of passage of the round, no one will want to meet Inter'Inter"

Last year, the draw è was quite favorable and è it is true that on the double confrontation è more complicated to beat teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid – continued the former Azzurri defender- . Even the double confrontation with Atletico won&#39t be easy, since theyé è are more accustomed to certain challenges, having already made it to the finals twice, but if Inzaghié boys eliminate Simeoneé team then I am convinced that anyone will hopeé not to have to face them".

Materazzi: "San Siro canà give an extra boostù"

"Right now, beyond the quality and depth of the roster, the cohesion of the group, the level of play shown lately and the physical condition, there è created an incredible environment at San Siro, becauseé people are having fun and this will be ableà give an extra boost to Inzaghi’s team, which has already boosted its self-confidence after playing a level playing field in the Istanbul final against a Manchester City team that until a few months earlier was believed to be unplayable for anyone – added the World Champion with Italy in 2006.

Materazzi: "Inter can&39;play with anyone regardless of economic differences"

"L'inter canò play with everyone even if it will have to deal with teams that have quite different economic dispositions. Right now I don’t see many rivals with such a cohesive and well-integrated pair of strikers as that composed of Lautaro and Thuram, players who also have gained international experience in the national team. The same goes for the midfield with Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan guaranteeing quantity and quality to the department. Nothing is lacking in the defense either, with Pavard and Bastoni increasingly safe, De Vrij back to his levels and Acerbi who against the big center forwards never fails" concludes Marco Materazzi.
