The CEO of Inter’s main sponsors Pirelli, Marco Tronchetti Provera, was interviewed regarding Inter’s great start to the season by RAI and the lifelong Nerazzurri fan identified Luciano Spalletti as the main protagonist behind the success.

“Nobody expected this start, so the credit goes to Luciano Spalletti and his team. The players have found the desire to compete and I am sure that our players have the qualities to make the Derby d’Italia in Turin a great match for us, but we all know it is going to be difficult to playi in Turin Icardi is a great champion that is improving each game. Inter must grow and definitely not giving away their best players” Provera began.

Provera was then asked about the upcoming transfer window replying that “Steven Zhang is in Milano most of the time and I expect them to do things to make Inter better. Luciano Spalletti is doing very well, he has the ability to stay focused. He is a great coach.”

The Pirelli supremo then rounded thing up by sharing a few thoughts on the current situation of cross-town rivals Milan saying that “having had a difficult time with Inter I sympathize with Milan. It is important for football if the Rossoneri come back.”
