As a reminder, Cardinale was asked in a recent interview about the state of Italian football, given that the RedBird Capital founder has gone on record before expressing his concern about a failure to modernise the system. In his assessment, he aimed a bit of a jab at Inter and their 5-0 loss to PSG.
Marotta’s response wasn’t long in coming. The Inter president didn’t mince his words in his interview with DAZN before Inter’s game against Verona at San Siro on Sunday, pointing to the trophies the Nerazzurri have won in the past six years.
‘The only club with two stars’
Now, Marotta has once again taken aim at Milan. As part of the title celebrations that Inter are currently enjoying, an open training session was held on Thursday at the Arena Civica during which he spoke to DAZN and Sky.
“It’s a special evening. We wanted, as I said, to hold it in this arena that is the icon of the city, because we are the city’s team, the only club with two stars in the city of Milan. We’re the only ones here, and that’s a source of pride,” he said (via Calciomercato.com).
Milan remain ahead of their cousins on overall trophies won and have a huge gap in Champions League triumphs, but over recent years the distance has been eroded significantly.
