Inter welcomed by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella

“Good afternoon, Mr President, and good afternoon to everyone here today. Thank you for inviting us to a place as symbolic as the Quirinale Palace. Mr President, you are not only the highest representative of the Italian Republic, a role you carry out with great dedication and distinction, but also a man who embodies the values of sport. On behalf of my players, the management, the Club, and myself, it is a great honour to be here today to celebrate the final of such an esteemed competition as the Coppa Italia, which will see us face Lazio tomorrow evening at the Stadio Olimpico. The Italian Republic recognises the educational and social value of sport. For us, being here today is also a great responsibility, because as coaches and athletes we have the responsibility to transmit important values and set an example for the many young people who support us with immense passion. Tomorrow evening, both Lazio and ourselves will do everything we can to honour this prestigious competition, giving our very best in the hope of bringing home this esteemed trophy. Thank you very much, ”
