Inter Milan fully deserve to be crowned as Italian champions, affirms Marotta

"Winning is an incredible sensation that is not just about luck; values and hard work also play a crucial role. Ultimately, it is those who truly deserve to win that come out on top," Marotta expressed, as he looked back on the thrilling victory in the derby from last season.

“I know what we all went through that evening (April 22), tension on everybody’s faces. It was an emotional moment. 

“Today we celebrate the second star, but I can’t do that without remembering the past. I will never forget the Scudetto won by (Helenio) Herrera, who was then replaced by (Giovanni) Invernizzi. 

“We would not have got to the 20th Scudetto under Zhang without going through those moments. We also remember past Presidents like Ernesto Pellegrini, Giacinto Facchetti, Massimo Moratti. 

“And the coaches: Herrera, Invernizzi, (Eugenio) Bersellini, Roberto Mancini, (Jose) Mourinho, (Antonio) Conte, (Simone) Inzaghi. They all contributed to the second star. What unites us is football, passion, love for this job and for Inter. We can’t forget all the players from the past.”
