Marotta: “Big disappointment but Conte is improving Inter. His cycle …”

Beppe Marotta, Inter’s sports CEO, spoke with DAZN microphones before the start of the match against Cagliari. These are his statements: “The meeting was usual, it happens every day. The moment was analyzed in the excellent positive of a self-critical right and with an optimistic vision of the future. Eriksen? It was not addressed, it is the responsibility of the coach: he is part of the staff, he is available with professionalism. It is fair that the coach consider whether to field one or the other: today he plays and it is the testimony that everyone is useful. Positive season only with the Scudetto? No, it is a cycle that started last year. I don’t want to talk about projects or roads: everything can be improved. There is disappointment at having come out and it affects the feeling of everyone in society and the fans, that we are the ones who live by this faith. We have an obligation to do our best to achieve important goals.

We must improve ourselves, but I who am inside and evaluate the work every day say that this cycle partially ended last year with the final of the Europa League and second place: this year it continues, we have been eliminated by a competition. Two remain that we must honor as best as possible, but I must also emphasize that the work in the technical area is producing improvements for future work. In January? You speak of construction, I reject the term: we are improving, when they eliminate us and others pass it means that there is a difference. The work was important, it brought clear signs of growth: we still have to continue, disappointment is accompanied by self-criticism. There is room for improvement. “
