MILAN - Massimo Moratti answered some questions about the latest transfer news from the journalists waiting outside the Saras offices.
Is Carlitos Tevez going to AC Milan?
"I think so."
Is that a shame?
"That’s football… [smiling]"
What do you think about Adriano Galliani’s idea of going to Manchester?
"He’s already got the ticket…"
APPIANO GENTILE – Here is the second part of
the exclusive interview Claudio Ranieri gave to Andrea Paventi for
Sky Sport Italia.
Is it true that if you had been at Inter
before, Samuel Eto’o probably wouldn’t have left despite the megabucks offer
from Anzhi?
"I don’t know about that but I do think Eto’o respects me,
because I wanted to sign him when he was still a nobody, before he
became famous. I also wanted him when I was at Juventus – and
he’s the one who said that because otherwise I would never have said
it – so I’m sure he remembers these things. I like to think that if I had
arrived earlier he would still be here, but it’s just something that’s nice to think
about."
ULAANBAATAR – See the photos on inter.it of the meetings in the capital of Mongolia between the Nerazzurri delegation, the Mongolian Football Federation, the Asian Football Confederation and President Elbegdorj’s adviser on foreign affairs, for the development of the Inter Campus and Inter Academy projects. As well as exchanging ideas on the projects, they also became familiar with each others’ cultures and sports.
ULAANBAATAR – The blue and black ribbon that links Milan to the heart of Mongolia is nine thousand kilometres long. When the Inter delegation arrived in the capital the weather was extremely cold but the warmth of the welcome they received and the feeling of friendship which had already been established, soon put paid to that. That friendship which had already been ratified when Mongolian president Elbegdorj and Inter president Moratti met in Milan. Two very different lives but one common vision of life for attention and commitment.
APPIANO GENTILE – It is the eve of Catania v Inter, however it was inevitable that Claudio Ranieri would be asked about a rumour that is rife regarding Samuel Eto’o making a comeback in a blue and black shirt, as yesterday’s papers were hinting: "I have excellent strikers and I’m very happy with what I have," said the Nerazzurri coach. " Eto’o and I go back a long way, since I was in Majorca in 2003… [Ranieri smiles, Ed], but these things I have read and heard are like Fantasy Football. So I’m concentrating on tomorrow’s match."
