Moratti 'stings' Napoli: "Easier to win the Scudetto than the Champions League..."

Massimo Moratti, former president of Inter, has returned to have his say in a long interview given to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Between memories, tactical analyses and tricolour hopes, Moratti's black and blue heart beats strongly.

“Winning a second consecutive championship would be wonderful”, he made his debut, “but the Champions League has a different charm. I leave the gift to the person who gives it to choose…”. A nostalgic opening but still full of relevance, at a time when Inzaghi's team is called upon to confirm itself on two fronts.

Moratti confessed that he believed in the Scudetto race until the end, also thanks to the presence of a former Inter player on the Genoa bench: “Patrick Vieira is good, I knew his Genoa could get a result. Conte knew it too. But Inter were good at building a deep squad, a second team as strong as the first. If they hadn't won in Turin, Napoli would have played with less pressure and perhaps would have taken three points”.

There is also a caress for another former Nerazzurri player, currently on the Parma bench, Cristian Chivu, the next obstacle for Napoli: “Very good. He is a special person. I spoke to him, not for Sunday's game but out of affection. He is doing well, he has just been very unlucky. It will not be a walk in the park for Napoli”.

A clear conclusion on a question that many are asking: is it easier to win the Scudetto or the Champions League? Moratti doesn't think twice: “The Scudetto. In a Champions League final anything can happen, while in the league you build over time. Even if you have one point less, one day can be enough to change everything”.
