It was he who called the Gazzetta dello Sport, and not vice versa. We’re talking about the former Inter player Nicola Berti who picked up the phone to get confirmation that Moratti has sold the majority of Inter: “I can’t believe that Moratti is letting go of Inter, say it’s not true, I’m sitting here in tears… I really can’t imagine the president without his team or us without him. I am among depressed Interisti, and we are many.”
Moratti himself has explained that the step was inevitable: “The fact is that the road was opened by James Pallotta in Roma… Unfortunately, in Italy we have become poor, but I want something, and I will remain a romantic, and then I continue to hope that something will happen and the deal goes up in smoke… The signatures are not made yet, right?”
You don’t like the new owner? “He’s a businessman, Moratti is the first Inter supporter and obeyed his heart, quite a difference, isn’t it? But then it’s not only Massimo, Bedy , Mily and the children but I bet that even his grandchildren in kindergarten are playing with Inter shirts. You know what? The first joy for Inter’s owner, it was I who gave him that. You don’t remember Inter-Brescia? The match ended 1-0, goal by Berti in the 3rd minute of the first half. then there was a good Bergkamp , with Ballotta in Brescia’s goal who saved everything. In short, I was the one who decided. The day before Pellegrini and Moratti had signed for the change of ownership. I remember Pellegrini came to Pinetina on Saturday to tell us the big news. Great feelings.”
What can Thohir do in the transfer market in January to present himself in a big way? “We’ll see… Well, it would require that he does something that offends Juve. Trying to steal Llorente.”
Would it be offending them? It would be a favor if anything, he never plays… “He is a good striker . He pays for a year of forced inactivity because he didn’t want to renew his contract., The same old story… But believe me, he is a good striker. At Inter , he would do well.”
The current team has not convinced you? “No, no, quite the contrary. We have a good team. I would say that what has convinced me extra is the coach, with Mazzarri we are safe. I looked at his resume and during his fifteen year long career, he has never been fired. For our football, he’s a guarantee.”
If you were to ask for a special gift from Thohir, the player who makes you most excited, maybe a midfielder. “A simple answer: Iniesta . Who wouldn’t want him?”
