Inter, from Inzaghi’s farewell to Chivu’s arrival: Marotta explains everything

Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta spoke during the Festival of the Series in Parma. “If you win you are a good guy, if you lose much less – he began -. It is not a failure but a pride to have reached the final in the world&#8217s most important football competition for clubs. And for the second time in three years. There’s deep disappointment but it&#8217s part of the game.

“On Monday we will rally for the Club World Cup and this is also a source of pride, but in soccer everything burns out with extreme speed and unpredictability reigns supreme, so much so that on Tuesday our coach told us that his cycle at Inter was over – explained the Nerazzurri number one -. For us it was not so because the proximity of the final had led us not to touch this topic, but Inzaghi himself made this decision only on the Monday after the defeat”.

He then explained the decision to entrust Chivu with the Inter bench: “We identified a profile as a consequence of a precise line of management. The right profile was a young coach who would marry well with the ownership and put in place an enhancement of the youth heritage, but always with the obligation to try to get to win with skills and quality. And we felt that this was Chivu, who represents the right profile for our goals. A test of courage and determination that can take us far. The important thing is that we have strong ownership and a defined program”.

“After the lost final there was bitterness left in everyone&#8220s mouth, Inter and Italian fans alike, for our debacle. To have finished second is a source of pride; the Champions League final is the most prestigious event in the world at club level. The reading must be this, don’t just examine 95 minutes. I say this with great decision, our season is not over because we are preparing for another unique event: the Club World Cup in the United States, with Inter and Juve as representatives” Marotta concluded.
