MILAN – Inter Primavera coach Andrea Stramaccioni was
interviewed live on Sky Sport 24 today, answering questions from the
journalists in the studio. The topic was of course Inter’s
progress in the NextGen Series, the "U19 Champions League". After
beating Marseille at Griffin Park in London last night, Inter will compete with Ajax for the trophy on Sunday. "Reaching
this final is a huge satisfaction for Inter, for our youth academy,
for the club and I think I can say also for Italian youth football as
a whole, which we are representing in this competition. People often
say we don’t pay enough attention to youth football in Italy,
but yesterday Inter proved that we’re as good as anybody."
This is a preview of
Stramaccioni on Sky: “In the final with heads high”

LONDON – Inter chief executive Ernesto Paolillo gave his thoughts after watching the Nerazzurri Primavera qualify for the NextGen Series final thanks to their 2-0 victory over Marseille: "I’m really pleased because you could see what a good group this is and in particular you could see the coach’s hand in it all. I’ve watched this team improve day by day since Stramaccioni took over. We’re delighted but above all we hope to have made our president happy too.
