Marotta: "We must give a response in the #DerbyMilano"

MILAN - The Nerazzurri’s Sport CEO GiuseppeMarotta spoke to Sky Sport just minutes before kick-off in Milan vs. Inter: “The #DerbyMilano is a unique encounter regardless of where the two teams are in the league. We’re extremely motivated. Elimination from the Europa League left a bitter taste for the fans, players and the club. However, without looking for excuses and given that we lost and were deservedly knocked out, we must still remember that we were missing nine players. Today, we must overcome Thursday evening’s bitterness and look to rediscover our peace of mind. We must respond in terms of both points and our performance. Icardi? He’s an Inter player in every aspect and we’re waiting for the situation to be resolved. We’re only focused on this match – one that is important for us and the entirety of Italian football. I don’t intend to make any further analysis on the situation regarding Mauro. All of the club’s components are willing to resolve the issue. We’re totally willing. There are rules and decisions that have been taken, and we’ll advance with them. We’re all rational people, the hope is to get an important player who can help Inter a huge amount back.”
