MILAN - The Nerazzurri's Sport CEO Giuseppe Marotta was interviewed by Sky Sport just minutes before kick-off between Inter and SPAL: “Icardi? We’re very optimistic that the situation will be resolved for the better. It’s only right that the Club maintains an intransigent attitude, although we remain a family governed by common sense. This is also thanks to the contributions of Steven Zhang and the Coach. We can manage our matters internally with a certain peace of mind. Daily life at Inter continues, there are many other events and issues that we must concern ourselves with. This is normal in football and I’ve seen a lot of it over my career. We must remain calm and manage things rationally. It would be a great failure if we’d have to go through legal means. Icardi available for the #DerbyMilano? His absence over the past few weeks means that he’s not at full fitness, however, these are things that the Coach will eventually consider. Spalletti? We’re close, not because he needs to receive special attention from us, but rather because this is must always be the case at a Club. We are one. We have one single goal and we want to achieve it together. We head out onto the pitch looking to transmit all of our components and a desire to win.”
