The Inter CEO: ‘The team is responding well to Inzaghi, who is a skilled and special coach. There is unity and sacrifice.’
Inter reaches their 3rd international break of the season at the top of the standings, and upon returning after the international break, there will be the big match at Allianz Stadium against Juventus, which could certify their lead.
The Derby d’Italia is never an ordinary challenge, not even for Beppe Marotta who commented on the upcoming game like this: ‘The match against Juventus is a game that we will approach cautiously and we will face them very calmly. The beauty of this league is the uncertainty, but the team is doing really well.’
The Inter executive has been one of the most important architects of the ‘Nerazzurri’ success in recent seasons, but he also has a winning past with Juventus. The anticipation for the match at the Stadium is high due to the significant standings for both teams, but there is no room for frenzy in Marotta’s thoughts:
Inter is already qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 with two games to spare and dominates Serie A with impressive numbers in both attack and defense. With a well-prepared coach and a deep squad allowing for significant rotation.
‘We are in a transitional phase,’ commented Marotta at a university event, ‘but the team is responding well, and Inzaghi is very good at managing games, he is a special coach. The team is cohesive, and eager to sacrifice in order to achieve its goals. As I said we will approach the challenge against Juventus calmly.'”
