Former Milan midfielder Walter Novellino has heaped praise upon Inter for seemingly inevitable arrival of Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta at the club.

“He would be a big signing, an important one in fact because he is a great football expert and he deserves a lot more praise for what he did at Juventus than he is given. He is the best chief executive in Europe and he is only 60-years-old so not very old.”

Novellino also spoke briefly on tonight’s match between Lazio and Inter.

“Lazio are doing well while Inter are coming in to the match from a defeat against Barcelona and as Spalletti has said, Inter need to show more courage.”
