Inter has been eliminated from the World Club Championship, after 0-2 in “optimals” with the Brazilians from Fluminense.
Cristi Chivu's nerazzurii made a modest match, even though, at 0-1, Lautaro Martinez and Stefan de Vriros were wasted a few huge opportunities to return the result and, implicitly, the fate of qualification. After the final whistle, the President of the Inter, Giuseppe Marotta, drew a line over a season 2024 – 2025 in which Inter has missed all his goals.
Giuseppe Marotta: “The results would have been different if playing in March”
“This is the last match of an exhausting season. We have played more than 20 matches in addition to some of our direct rivals. It is clear that this team would have given different results if playing in March (no – club World Cup).
I want to thank the whole staff, I have already thanked Inzaghi and thank Chivu. Now it is fair for this group to go on vacation, we have to recharge our batteries because another long and difficult season awaits us in which the 2026 World Cup will be, ”said Marotta.
Giuseppe Marotta: “We will discuss with Calhanoglu. With him and others”
After Captain Lautaro Martinez, the interist official also spoke about the rumors that Hakan Calhanoglu wants to go to Galatasaray. “I always say that when a player does not want to stay is right to leave. So far, no one has expressed this desire.
I imagine that Lautaro was referring to Calhanoglu, with whom we will discuss and solve in the best possible way. We are ready to listen to him as well as others. Lautaro's call is shared by the club, the victor's spirit is the one who can take us far, ”concluded Marotta.
Lautaro Martinez: “Who does not want to stay, goodbye!”
With reference to Calhanoglu, but without the name, Lautaro Martinez had previously stated: “Now I mean one thing: here you want to stay. You understand me? Because we are fighting for goals here!
We do everything here and we saw many things that I didn't like. I am the captain and I want to continue to stay in the top. The message is clear. Who does not want to stay, goodbye! ”.
