Victory and relaunch. Having won the Scudetto, Inter do not want to stop, but to open a cycle. The new mission aim for the second star. Eleven years of waiting have rekindled the club’s hunger, determined to carry on the project with Antonio Conte and Beppe Marotta.
President Steven Zhang, was overwhelmed with compliments from the institutions of world football: Ceferin, Infantino (Nerazzurri fan) and Gravina, number one of Uefa, Fifa and Figc, wrote to him. The youngest winning president in Nerazzurri history will now have to secure a future for his team. The 250 million loan should be defined in the next few days, then we can meet to plan the season.
The future has tried to outline it the Ad Marotta. Everything revolves around the coach and his permanence. There is no plan B, because there is a plan A. At 100% I hope Conte stays, we have started a cycle. Marotta’s wish is the same expressed several times by Conte. The technician never hid that he wanted to stay. They are needed for the right conditions. There is a great feeling between him and the team, the club and the fans. These are important ingredients to be able to grow and take away satisfaction. The percentage of stay? I hope 100%, we will all listen to the property, but I think there is a fair and healthy optimism, Marotta stressed.
Impossible to imagine Inter today without Conte at the helm. The clear goal. There is a dream for next year. It would be truly extraordinary to win the Scudetto again, it would mean bringing the second star to Inter, adds the Inter CEO, the man who most wanted Conte.
To get to the second Scudetto and make way for the Champions League, the support of the club is needed. The incoming loan of 250 million will give breath to the coffers, not solve a difficult financial situation. There is a revenue problem with the pandemic. We will sit down with Antonio and the property to find out their guidelines. Important to understand how to face next season, starting with the cup. For the Champions there is a huge competition, the four in the semifinals are among the top six to have the highest turnover.
Entering the small circle of the strongest for Inter will be very hard and it is precisely on this that the managers and technical staff want guarantees from ownership. The next will not be a market made up of expenses, but of cost containment, reduction of the amount of wages (today over 150 million euros), of self-financing. It is necessary to close the sales campaign with zero balance. It does not mean immobility, but to calibrate the outputs in order to invest in useful players to strengthen and refresh the squad.
Zhang will have to give these answers and clearly clarify the guidelines. Neither Marotta nor Conte would like to leave, both need to have the right tools to keep Inter where it arrived today. The history of the Italian champion club requires not to lower the threshold of ambitions, to leave to participate not in the ropes of technical and ad.
Not a problem of the contract, only of basic principles, of not betraying certain promises and guaranteeing management with less fibrillation this season. If Conte is convinced by the project he will stay, the same goes for Marotta. The contract expiring for both in 2022 is not a stumbling block. If Conte is not convinced by the plans of the property and Suning, he will be the first to say hello. On the contrary, if he has the reassurance and the clarity he asked for, he could decide to stay for a long time and, why not, even sign an extension. Marotta has never liked to start the season with the coach expiring. It’s up to Zhang to decide which path to take. Second star on the right, this is the way, sang Bennato. The right song for the president and the Inter of the future.
