Inter president Giuseppe Marotta and CEO Alessandro Antonello responded to the attack about their debts and balance sheets by Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso. The former spoke to Tuttomercatoweb after the Nereo Rocco award in Coverciano.
“I’ve a lot of respect for him, but we comply with every duty and economic and financial criteria imposed by the federation and UEFA.”
Marotta took stock of the start of the season.
“I have faith in our group, and the coach can lead them far. We need time and patience for them to gel, but they have high-level quality. The starting gird to win the Scudetto has been the same for years. I’d add Atalanta, which deserve the credit for their achievements in recent seasons.”
Marotta will be part of a new council within the Italian FA.
“It’ll be operative soon with a consultive and not executive spirit, abiding by the guidelines. We’ll bring our experience to the table to help the whole system. It’s only right to listen to those in the know.”
Antonello doubled down to Mediaset.
“Inter always respected the rules and will continue doing so.”
Commisso had thrown shade on the Nerazzurri due to the burgeoning debts and for how the team changed hands in recent months. Former owner Steven Zhang was forced to give up the club to Oaktree because he was unable to repay a massive loan that had helped finance the side in recent years. Serie A doesn’t have structured Financial Fair Play rules like other leagues, and the parameters to register aren’t too stringent.
