Speaking together with colleague and rival Paolo Scaroni live on Dazn before the Inter-Milan match, president Giuseppe Marotta spoke about tonight’s Derby. From the stadium issue, which became the property of the two clubs just a few weeks ago, to the significance of tonight’s match in terms of the title race. Here are the words of the Nerazzurri’s number one:

SAN SIRO – “First derby in the owned stadium? A historic event, a date that will remain in the history of Italian football. We must have respect for this structural icon, our duty is to continue by building a new venue that offers the same opportunities.”

DERBY – “Title derby? The most beautiful aspect of football, it unites and brings into play a competition where victory is fundamental. The derby has a special charm, beyond the standings. For us, it is important to maintain this positive run, to put in a good performance. But for the title, there are many matchdays, many points, and several rivals.”

WORLD CUP PLAYOFFS – “Possibility to best prepare the National Team’s playoffs? I believe that as a club we must make ourselves available to arrive in the best possible way. Italy cannot miss the World Cup, Inter will certainly make itself available to facilitate the National Team’s path.”
