Leonardo, former coach of AC Milan and Inter, is speaking again and in interview by Corriere della Sera he analyzed the situation of Italian football and of his former teams: “The last 2-3 years have been marked by doubts on the actions of the League and federations. Now, not surprisingly, humility prevails in admitting that there is a need to regroup. Italian football has always been competitive, but has yet to make the leap to return to the glories of the nineties. And in that sense Milan and Inter are two clubs at the forefront. ”
What do you mean?
“Both are changing the business model, trying to retrace the footsteps of the English clubs that already have opened to the world.”
Is Thohir try to win by doing like Moratti: buying great champions?
“First he tried to understand the reality in which he moved, he studied the new situation. Therefore, like any other big club he has provided investment. Moratti was brave to sell the majority to give something extra to Inter.”
How far can Inter and Milan go?
“In the derby we saw a growth by both teams. They showed signs of revival but they can’t live with the obligation to fight for the title for real.”
Which team has impressed you the most?
“Roma is the most complete team, the best quality. But Juve will still be a candidate for the title.”
Your relationship to Moratti?
“Respect and admiration. There has always been a relationship of respect with him, even in the years when I worked for Milan. Moratti, I adore him.”
Would you one day return to Inter?
“I don’t think Inter needs me today.”
