"“I wish they'd focus more on the crucial issues: the importance of sports infrastructure; how to modernise Italian football; why Italy missed another World Cup, the third in a row,” he said. “Instead, there's controversy. You see, it's not just about Serie A. It's about not showing up in the Champions League finals and losing 5-0, it's about playing competitively in Europe.”"
"“I have two answers in my pocket, one ironic and one serious. The serious one is: I hope he can follow the path we've taken at Milan in the last six years,” he said. “Nine trophies, two Champions League finals and one Europa League final. I think it's a record that can't be forgotten. The ironic answer? We'll save it for a future piece of mischief.”"
Gerry Cardinale said Italian football needs focus on sports infrastructure and modernization, and he criticized the lack of competitiveness in Europe. He pointed to Italy missing another World Cup and to teams not showing up in Champions League finals, including a 5-0 defeat, as evidence of broader problems. Beppe Marotta replied quickly before Inter’s match against Verona at San Siro. He offered a serious response wishing Cardinale could follow the path taken at Milan over six years. He cited nine trophies, two Champions League finals, and one Europa League final as a record that should not be forgotten, and he added an ironic remark to save further mischief for later.
