Inter president Beppe Marotta spoke to DAZN:
"We have the obligation to believe. The players know it's an important game. Destiny is not in our hands. Referees? Silence is a form of communication to be interpreted and explained. At that moment, there was tension and it had to be managed".
"The championship is like a Tour of Italy, in the Champions League there are circumstances that help you. This year we played 15 more games than the others".
"Inzaghi and Arabia? The contract still has a year left. We have a great symbiotic relationship, he is the main architect of this 4-year cycle. On our part, we want to continue. I don't think there are any bells ringing from his side. When the time is right, we will discuss and evaluate the renewal".
Cesc Fabregas spoke to DAZN before Como:
"Winning today? It would be putting the finishing touches on a beautiful season, a season of highs and lows, but with the continuity of our game idea, and this has been our strength, the fact that we haven't changed. When doubts arise, it's the worst moment for a team, for a club. When you believe a lot in an idea, then you can do beautiful things. A little time is missing, it's sometimes difficult for the kids to learn to take a little time, you have to have the will to do it".
"You always have to grow, I'm the first to push the kids and the club, I think we have great potential, but with a change every 6 months of 10-12 players, you have to start from scratch every time. I think we've done a great job, let's see what next season brings, but I'm very serene, we know what we want".
"Helping Conte? No, in football, there are no friends: I respect him but we don't have to do more. We have to do our best to win, then we'll see".
🧨 What Inter needs to become champions
90 minutes from the end of the championship, Inter is forced to chase: second with 78 points, just one point behind Napoli. To win the Scudetto, the Nerazzurri must beat Como and hope that Napoli does not win against Cagliari.
In case of a draw or defeat for the Azzurri and a simultaneous Inter win, Inzaghi's team would overtake Napoli and win the title for the second consecutive season. If Napoli wins, any result for Inter would be useless.
