During last night’s episode of the Club on Sky, Beppe Bergomi and Alessandro Del Piero clashed harshly, with particularly heated tones, while talking about Inter. In the studio hosted by Fabio Caressa, a tense atmosphere developed between the two former footballers, who for several minutes exchanged blow for blow over their respective opinions on Inter’s strength over the last four years. This is the debate between the two that caused embarrassment during the live broadcast.
– Del Piero: “I’m sorry Beppe, but Inter has clearly been the strongest team for four years. Then, since they haven’t always won, we can say they’re not the best, because the best are those who finish ahead.”
– Bergomi: “So why don’t they win a head-to-head match? The results prove me right. Just because you shout louder doesn’t mean you’re right, raising your voice and saying this every time. I’ve been saying it for four years. They’ve won league titles, they’ve won cups and reached Champions League finals. I’m not saying Inter isn’t strong. Inter is good but it’s slow and if you try to keep them up, they struggle.”
– Del Piero: “It’s not about shouting or not shouting, if I’ve been saying it for four years, get angry. If you look at these five years, Inter is the team that has won the most, so it’s been stronger than the others. Milan and Juve haven’t reached a Champions League final for a long time, Inter has made two in three years.”
– Bergomi: “Yes, but without making any signings for four years, only taking free agents, changing players’ positions, that’s the club’s skill.”
– Del Piero: “If I look at the other teams, I see Milan, Roma and Juve that need to be fixed. At Inter I don’t see a department that needs to be fixed.”
– Bergomi: “Inter needs a fast defender, a physical midfielder and a strong striker in one-on-ones. What does Napoli have less of? What does Milan have less of? They have more physicality, more speed.”
– Del Piero: “They’ve played 2 Champions League finals in 3 years. Inter’s players are clearly stronger than Napoli, Milan and Juve.”
