Inter CEO Beppe Marotta stopped by Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia moments before kick-off in the Serie A clash where the Nerazzurri host Parma at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, in Milano’s San Siro district.

“We shouldn’t look at the league table but instead we should look inside ourselves. The result in Lecce has not affected this match. This is the message that Conte wants to send to the squad and all of us.”

“Esposito’s success fills us with happiness as it demonstrates the level our youth level has, but not just for the results it achieves but for launching interesting players and Esposito is one of these. The fact that he has made his debut doesn’t mean anything, it is a partial point of arrival and he still has a lot to learn.”

“He has the age and above all a great maestro like Antonio Conte, who has shown him great things from the moment he has coached him.”

“I believe that in Italy, having a core of Italian players is fundamentally important, also with regards to European participation. The Made in Italy tag can offer a lot, we have gone down this road and we want to go forward with this wearing it with pride.”

“Maybe the best situation is to have a mix if Italians and foreigners, I am all for openness. In this way, just having young players isn’t enough but you need expert players.”
