Massimo Moratti

[Michael]

The president: "I am proud of Inter in Palermo. But we must get back to winning now."

Milan - Inter remain in the lead, solitary. They have been in this position since the 8th matchday in the league which was on October 18. Napoli stood tall in the fast lane of AC Milan, Massimo Moratti can continue to enjoy and not to "curse" the sweet tasted of London's night of triumph against a terrible Chelsea. The Champions League victory has made the Inter brand shinny away from Italy, but in general it has become very expensive in the league. The prolonged braking is clearly resulted by the enormous tension that has accompanied with the team of Ancelotti. In short, despite Milan and Roma are now back on track, the Rossoneri half failed to take advantage of the situation. Moratti is now calling for the effort from everyone. And to Mou is the task to make the best out of the numbers and quality of the team. Players should not give up more than a centimeter in the league, cup or no cup. Finally, an energetic call to Balotelli to get back on track as soon as possible so he can contribute directly proportional to his talent.

President Moratti, thanks to Napoli?
"I don't want to talk about Milan. I don't like commenting on other results or others such as the ones behind us. I think about Inter, and that's it."

So what did you see in Inter against Palermo? Tired?
"Only in the final minutes, but I think it's normal after a game like the one in London."

Are you worried?
"No, in Palermo, in the first 20-25 minutes, I saw one of the best of Inter of the season. We scored, and we could double it. And at the end, despite everything, we tried again, pushing with three strikers plus Sneijder."

But however, the victory once again didn't come.
"Palermo played well, and was very organized, had great individual players and then they were at home where they have done wonderful things."

Well, you seem serene.
"Serene and proud of a team that was able to jump immediately back from the big game in London. Sure, now we must immediately find a victory in the championship, otherwise all the talk is dropping."

Are you afraid that the next round in the Champions League will cost you dearly in the league?
"No, the team knows what it takes to win the Scudetto. It is an important milestone for the club and I don't want failures on major fronts. But the coaches and players must think like me. But I never have any doubts, in fact, the moral qualities of the group were led very well under all points of view."

Inter are in full swing everywhere, from the Champions League to the Italian Cup. Do you believe that Mourinho is using the best available players?
"If we are continue to advance... Certainly, from now on we need to be more determined and energized, and we are well equipped."

And Balotelli? Is it time for him to be back?
"Absolutely must immediately get back on track. Now he needs to contribute. And he must give it all. When and how is to be decided by Mourinho."

Our president today said that he doesn't give a damn what balotelli says.

 

[Michael]

Moratti's house at 20:40. The number one from Inter, who withdrew his trip to Moscow at the last minute, and here comes loud and clear the reporter's playful provocation. President, you guys didn't suffer for 90 minutes... "Eh, no, everything went smoothly this time... Well, thanks to that early goal, definitely."

After days of doubting his physical condition, Wesley Sneijder played and was decisive: what a great acquisition.
"He played intelligently and had that shot from far away... Well done everyone though."

Mourinho, in fact, addressed a collective applause to his players.
"I support him and thanks to very much. I think he has clearly demonstrated his value."

Yes. He is an expert of the Champions League and it is paying off.
"He mentally prepared for the game perfectly. Before the tactics factor, he was in the head of every players."

Exactly. Jose has claimed that now Inter are a team that suited for this cup, no longer afraid to fail.
"In fact they went on the field with the right spirit. Before the goal, which also arrived, I saw good determination. It seems to be clear that the merits of the coach, there was so much of his work, his choices... He makes the whole team to work at their best."

Among the players, who deserves a special mention?
"Well, first of all the defenders. They were amazing really. The two games they were able to prevent the opponents to build up a clear scoring chance. And I am very pleased that the qualification was so clear, well deserved. It strengthens our morale."

Who should receive an Oscar if this was an Oscar night?
"I really enjoyed the work of Cambiasso. I found him essential and at times providential because whenever the teammates needed him, he was there. And then the performance of Zanetti, who always plays at high level. We have accustomed to this standard and we sometimes take it for granted."

Barca Moratti's house at 22:45. It's time to talk about the qualification of Barcelona. Certainly not unexpected, but the proportions and the ease were impressive. Not to mention the goals of Messi...

President, why couldn't you kidnap Leo when he was a child?
"Ah, ah, he is not bad right?"

Once again against Barcelona, the European champions. A semifinal of a high level of difficulty.
"But very charming. And I think that the players want the revenge. Inter now have a different respect than the one in the qualifying round. "

And Mou said it clearly. He wants the final.
"Just imagine me as those are the wishes and desires that I've been looking for so many years...."

For this Massimo Moratti will certainly be at the Camp Nou, sitting beside his friend and rival Joan Laporta. The challenge between Eto'o and Milito with Messi and Ibrahimovic is unique and therefore shouldn't be missed.

Sorry there is no translation, still nice to watch though.

Don't know if that one is true, because I can't find anywhere on the web this exact quote. Maybe it was just originaly spoke in italian.

"In life nothing is secure at the start - Moratti said after the win- even if in fact there was once a group trying to make sure that result was secured but I think they are not doing well now."

 

[A.l.i]

Moratti !!! You just witnessed the greatest match of your dynasty.....

 

[Nero Indigo]

Now please let him witness a great moment when Inter hopefully reach the finals.

 

[dynasty27]

“After that first half, it was an unexpected result,” Moratti said of Roma's loss.

“Roma dominated, so we didn't think the result would be overturned. But then Samp played an intelligent second half, hitting at the beginning and the end.

“As for the rest, we know the quality of Samp's players very well. Now it's difficult for Roma, but it also remains difficult for us.

“The end of the championship will be passionate. I can say that this result will be reflected in the morale of our players in view of Barcelona.

“We are now only thinking about the Champions League, but it's clear that the confidence levels in our heads are very positive again.”

I hope your circulatory does well, il Presidente.

President Moratti, Walter Zenga, who will turn 50 tomorrow, has expressed his desires to be near you at the Camp Nou to cheer for Inter. Did he ask you?
"I'll call him. It's a nice thing to do. And he could be useful."

Walter in the role of amulet?
"No, I would put him next to Laporta instead of me."

Next to Laporta is a perfect location. Where would you be? With the five thousand fans in the stands?
"Eh, I could. This game would be ideal for this idea. Being a fan is also in me, as you know... The fact is that I am a friend with the president of Barcelona and I know that he will suffer the torment of hell. Delicate situation for both of us."

Barca last year won everything. And if Inter go to the final...
"But we must go there first... After that we will include the obligation to aim to win everything. But this is not the time of proclamation. It is the moment of maximum concentration. We're like the motionless diver on the springboard of the first ten meters but for the last dive we plunge. We've been doing a splendid and beautiful job, as Mou said, but if the last dive we can't reach perfection and we could be empty handed and filled with disappointment..."

Who do you fear the most Messi or Ibra?
"Fear no one, because I'm confident in my players. But then in the match, the ambush can come from anyone at anytime."

At the tactical level who will Mourinho play?
"I don't know and I won't ask him because I'm letting him stay clam. In the first leg, we prepared well and showed the right attitude. Not afraid nor presumptuous, I think."

Barcelona are creating an ambient...
"Normal. Hopefully nothing tragic will happen. Playing in the semi-finals of the Champions League doesn't happen everything and they suffered an unexpected and heavy defeat. We have to attach ourselves to the environment."

To influence the referee or the players?
"Well, I don't think the referee will let it be in his condition. He is among the best in Europe so he used to handle these difficulties."

There are some problems for Sneijder?
"Well, I talked with the doctors and they were very concerned... I'm starting to think the same but we'll see. But I trust in the readiness to sacrifice of the players. Again, their dedication is absolute. And it is the collective quality that characterizes this group of Mourinho."

In this group, is there room for Mario Balotelli?
"A lot depends on him."

But would you take him to Barcelona?
"The call-ups are up to the coaches. I'm with Mou and other players must understand. I spoke on the eve of Inter-Atalanta because my duty is to remove any disruption so that the team can concentrate at the max. May attitude is also to protect the boy but it is also designed to refuse any tension in the dressing room."

Can the rift be healed between Mou and the player?
"In the long run, I'm confident that the answer will be yes. But in this semi-final, I don't know what will be his choices. The coach did not give me anything early, and I don't want to ask him... I know that he will decide the beast, I trust him completely."

Balotelli's agent has asked for a clarification meeting on Thursday... For many, this is the inevitable end.
"Not for me. I think about the attempt to reconstruct the situation because Mario is our future and also to Italian football, a striker with the indisputable quality. However, he must actually demonstrates the desire to stay at Inter. It is the basis to rebuild which I think it is dear to many fans."

Not with the Nord?
"If Mario's attitude is right, everyone will understand that at twenty, you have the right to make mistakes."

Well, you have the first place back thanks to Pazzini...
"Yes, but the league remains to be conquered."

Gianfelice Facchetti was furious about the venom from Calciopoli. What do you think?
"I understand his mood as the story Gianfelice and we are dealing with is ugly and annoying. We will talk but after Barca."

Grazie Moratti .. Grazie Grazie Grazie .. This man needs a massive tribute from us if we win in Madrid.

 

[Luka]

This man has nothing to prove. He already is Inter Legend, and one of the greatest people in this club no matter what will happen.

What we have now, is the fruit of what began in 5, 6 years ago with smart signings, with smart politik.
