A few minutes before the kick-off of the first semi-final of the Italian Supercup, which will feature Inter and Atalanta in Saudi Arabia, Beppe Marotta spoke about the challenge and the gift to Ibrahimovic to Mediaset microphones.
Here are his words:
SUPERCUP – Inter always wants to be at these appointments, then it’s clear that we aim to win. Tonight we face a team and I think it will be a good match.
AMBITIONS – Should we try to win everything? This is a command and history teaches us, with a record full of successes. The obligation is always to try to win. Then if others will be better we will applaud. The obligation is to try.
ATALANTA – Atalanta is no longer an outsider, but a reality of our football and European football. Credit to their model. They are strong in the company, in the players and in the coach. Football represents an Italian heritage and representing it outside of Italy is beautiful. It will be a spot for our football movement and for all of Italy.
GIFT TO IBRA – The shirt given to Ibrahimovic? He made a joke. It was a context at the Embassy in which all the teams gave the shirt to the other teams, then we focused only on that exchange. We were talking because we had this board in our hand for so long waiting for the photos. There was no irony, just a nice moment.
