Beppe Marotta retorts to Rocco Commisso

Beppe Marotta’s response to Rocco Commisso’s recent statements was not long in coming. The Fiorentina president, in an interview given to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', had said: "I do not envy those who have won in recent years, because they have done so with absurd debt situations".

Inter's number one, a guest at the 'Nereo Rocco Award' in Coverciano, responded as follows to the patron of the Viola: "I have a lot of respect for Commisso but Inter fulfills all the duties and financial and economic criteria that Uefa and the Federation require us to respect".

So he counted Atalanta among the favorites for the Scudetto: "The grid of those interested in winning the title è always the same for years, I would add Atalanta, which has authority and deserves recognition for what it has done and for the position it has acquired in recent years at the national and European level".

Closing remark on the national team, committed tonight against Israel: "I am confident for this group, the coach can take them far. It just takes patience and time to be able to amalgamate concepts in a new group, but the Azzurri express a high level".
