After learning of the agreement between Moratti and Thohir for the sale of the majority of Inter, José Mourinho took a moment to praise Massimo Moratti: “Moratti is unique. Moratti is a real father for the players and a friend for the coaches. For him I will always friendship, admiration and respect.”
Mourinho then remembered his first meeting with Moratti before signing with Inter in 2008: “I only needed five minutes to understand that football and Inter are his life. He has breathed Inter since he was little and has an extraordinary memory, but even I prepared before the meeting in Paris. And he never talks about ‘his’ Inter: the team, for him, belongs to the fans.”
“Inter will always be Moratti and Moratti will always be Inter. The same thing. To the point that the fans in the world almost confuse the team and the president, from the father Angelo to the son Massimo. To most young people today: if you say Inter they think of Moratti and vice versa. A family that loves Inter. He sells because he thinks that it will only do good for the club and the team.”
Mourinho also talked about the victory in the Champions League: “The greatest joy I have received from football was giving him the trophy. In this way, I am sure, president Moratti has become complete as he doesn’t lack any trophy. Even for him I think it was the best moment ever.”
