Time for celebrations at home Inter. Although there has already been a party to mark the victory of the Scudetto, there had not yet been an opportunity to rejoice in their stadium, that place where once even fans could enter to live together with their team. Unfortunately this is not the case yet, but in the meantime it was a real party also on the pitch, where Antonio Conte’s team literally scrambled the Sampdoria with a 5-1 that doesn’t admit any stories
At the end of the match, Antonio Conte looks radiant to the microphones of Sky Sport:
“It was a real undertaking, the guys did something amazing. Now they only remember the last two months but it is good to remember the whole journey undertaken in these two years, in which he suffered and worked a lot with his head down. Maybe it wasn’t my biggest victory, it certainly was the most difficult: winning in Milan is not for everyone. last league defeat was against the Sampdoria in the first leg of last January 6th. After that, out of 19 games, we lined up 16 wins and 3 draws. I can’t help but applaud these guys. As far as I’m concerned, winning is a drug and it must continue to be “.
However, it reveals nothing Conte about the future, with a phrase that can mean everything and nothing. And those past tense verbs used in previous post-victory press conferences leave some doubts to the fans:
“From the end of the season, as they say, God sees and provides. But don’t put words into my mouth that I haven’t said. In the past, I have not enjoyed the victories. I want to live this to the end “.
Finally, a proof of the great work done by Conte, or rather the revaluation of the entire Nerazzurri squad, Pinamonti including:
“The boys gave everything. When I enter the locker room for the first time, players usually expect to win and are willing to do anything. And today, yes, their value has increased. Pinamonti? Only praise for him: despite having found little space, he has always trained to the maximum and with certain methods. It is a great prospect: it is up to him, from here on, to confirm himself at certain levels ”.
But also Beppe Marotta, CEO of the Nerazzurri, spoke before the match against Samp, as always in a clear, calm and above all very direct way. Marotta is always expressed in a linear way, immediately clarifying the problems that still exist in the world of football and in the world Inter, heavily indebted despite the victory of the A league:
“Today’s reference model is no longer sustainable. It is a moment that sees labor costs that are always in danger of rising, any company would be close to default. We have to work on cost containment and resource enhancement and at this time it is not easy. There are no responsibilities, it is a situation that occurred when contractual commitments had already been made and it could not be done otherwise. The property has spent millions of euros to win, now we will certainly have to work to make corrections ”.
Therefore no clarification on the corporate future, but a revelation on what will happen this week and which, as rarely happens in sports clubs, will also involve the players:
“Today is a moment of great celebration for everyone, it is right to enjoy it and it is right that Conte and the team especially enjoy it. I can clearly say that there are no tensions. But I can communicate that next week talks will be started with individual players to raise awareness among players on the moment of football in general and of Inter in the light of the pandemic that has created so many problems.. Meanwhile, I confirm that the bonuses will be respected and paid out because they are the result of a well-deserved goal by the entire technical area and it is right that the company recognizes this. For the rest we will have to discuss the football photography of the moment. It is a confrontation between responsible people in a difficult moment that does not only concern Inter “.
As it was revealed this morning, in fact, Inter will offer the players a reduction in salariesor and waiver of the award Scudetto to meet the economic needs of Via della Liberazione. Proposal that, apparently, will be rejected by the team group.
