“Your behavior, on and off the pitch, has always been in line with the values of the city of Milan. Your name is FC Internazionale, which is what Milan wants to be. Above all, Milan wants to be an open, modern, international city. 21% of residents in Milan are not of Italian origin.” Mayor Giuseppe Sala said this during the award ceremony at Palazzo Marino of the golden Ambrogino to Inter, who obtained their second star with the victory of the last scudetto.
“There are now very few people who have been Milanese for two or three generations – underlined the mayor – for us it is essential to welcome. Milan is then rewarded by this sense of welcome.” And, addressing coach Simone Inzaghi, Sala highlighted:
“I thank our coach, I identify with him a little, because I have been mayor for 8 years and doing this job means that we are in a historical period that when something isn’t going well, you want to change the mayor, the coach, then you resist if you are motivated and know what to do and the results come”
After thanking “the management, the staff, all the staff, from the last warehouse worker to those present here for the work you have done” and to the president “Zhang with whom I ‘messaged’ yesterday and who is now far away but he has an incredible affection for the team.” Sala concluded: “My thanks to captain Lautaro, not only for what you did on the pitch but also for being so Milanese, you came from afar, but you feel so good in Milan. Life goes on, twenty is not a point of arrival but my hope is to see a 21st.”
