Inter is celebrated for the second star’s Scudetto. Last night Marotta, Lautaro, Thuram and Frattesi received the Genlteman Award. On Sunday after the match against Lazio at San Siro there will be the presentation of the Scudetto trophy. Meanwhile this morning at the Municipality of Milan Simone Inzaghi’s team is awarded the Golden Ambrogino.
SALA – Mayor Beppe Sala declared from the stage: “I’m a bit embarrassed, I have to try to be institutional but my internalism comes out. I thought of my father, who was afraid of flying and only managed to take a plane to follow Inter abroad.
Congratulations to everyone, I’ll start with the players, not only because you won but because your behavior has always been in line with the values of the city. Your name is Internazionale and Milan always wants to be more international, consider that 21% of residents are not of Italian origin and there have been very few Milanese for generations.
The second thanks goes to Simone Inzaghi, our mister. I have been mayor for 8 years, doing this job means managing criticism. If things aren’t going well you want to change, then you resist. I want to thank the management, the staff, everyone, for the work done, which is a bit self-managed, but the last thanks goes to Steven Zhang with whom I spoke yesterday.
Special thanks to Captain Lautaro, not only for what you did on the pitch, but for being so Milanese, for feeling so comfortable in Milan. The hope is to go even beyond twenty championships. Obviously, as mayor of Milan I have already told the Milan fans that when it is their turn to go from 19 to 20, if I am still mayor, I will reward them too.”
MAROTTA – The CEO of Inter, Beppe Marotta declared: “I thank Mayor Sala for this award. We all have in mind the half a million people who accompanied our bus to Piazza Duomo, sport is a strong phenomenon social aggregation. I thank coach Inzaghi and our players, but there is no winning team without a strong club behind it. The second star Scudetto is an extraordinary achievement, but we must always raise the bar. As a club we will try to lay the foundations to continue on this streak of winning results, with courage, humility and ambition. We are Inter, we also thank the owners and presidents who preceded us. I bring you greetings from president Steven Zhang, who was unable to attend today, but never let us miss anything. We thank him and his family. Go Inter!”.
