President of Inter, Giuseppe Marotta, spoke from Monte Carlo following the UEFA Champions League draw. The Nerazzurri will face Leipzig, Manchester City, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Crvena Zvezda, Young Boys, Monaco and Sparta Praha.
“The side has grown a lot in these years, in Italy and Europe. Last year, we aimed for the Second Star, a historic milestone for the Club. But we are Inter, an ambitious organisation. There isn’t a choice to be made between the league and the Champions League, the cup should be honoured in the best way. It’s a tournament where you also need a bit of luck. We have given Inzaghi a competitive side: let’s not create anxiety, but apply the necessary pressure because our Club has big ambitions. This season, big sides are struggling at the start of the campaigns because many players are on international duty, but there are always dangers. I repeat that we shouldn't single out teams from pots 2, 3 or 4. The media put us with the favourites? We want to be part of the top eight because we are Inter. Let's not confuse ambition and arrogance. Ambition comes from the value of the side, we have a lot of quality and a history that pushes us to do well. If we don't manage, it means that others were better than us. ”
Giuseppe Marotta, Presidente FC Internazionale Milano
