Inter Milan's Quiet January: Marotta Explains Strategy

Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta addressed the club's lack of significant signings during the January transfer window. He explained that the team did not need major reinforcements, as coach Chivu has a strong squad of 24 players, including those from the youth academy, who are performing satisfactorily. Marotta acknowledged the minor issue with Denzel Dumfries's injury recovery but remained optimistic about a swift resolution, emphasizing confidence in the team's ability to remain competitive.

Regarding the Scudetto race, Marotta anticipates a challenge not just from AC Milan but from all top teams. He noted that Milan's sole focus on the league provides them an advantage. However, Inter is accustomed to a demanding schedule, having played 64 matches the previous year while competing in the Champions League final and contending for the league title. Marotta stressed the importance of aiming for maximum achievement in all competitions, despite the physical and mental stress involved.

Furthermore, Marotta condemned a recent "senseless act" in Cremona, unrelated to sports values, stating that the criminals involved would face legal consequences. Inter's focus remains on competing at the highest level, both domestically and internationally, throughout the remainder of the season.
