Farris: ‘Inter must enjoy Serie A title victory’ | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi’s assistant, Massimiliano Farris, says Inter ‘must enjoy’ the Scudetto and insists the team can further improve in the next few years.

Inzaghi didn’t talk to the media following Inter’s 2-0 win over Torino, which began an intense day of celebrations in Milan.

“Simone is our leader. He didn’t lose his voice or anything, he just wanted to put me in the first row because he said we staff members deserve recognition too,” Farris told DAZN.

“We’ve been working together for many years, and, as staff, we discuss and look for solutions. I think that what we achieved this season is the end of the cycle in terms of playing style because we believe this team can still get great satisfaction.”

Beppe Marotta confirmed before the game that the club is planning a long-term future with Inzaghi and that this year’s title is only the starting point for the Nerazzurri.

“Simone already said it in the previous interviews. We’ve been fighting for every target across the last three years. We have won cups, we reached a Champions League Final,” Farris continued.

“We are aware that in the first season, we missed something that we could have taken home [the Serie A title won by Milan]. Perhaps it was the price to pay, as staff members, when you get to a club like this, but I think this season’s achievements give value to all other trophies.

“Today’s atmosphere was incredible, so good. Ninety minutes and more of celebrations and it was fair to start those who have brought the team here. This doesn’t mean the others didn’t contribute. On the contrary, everyone was helpful, I should name them all. I wouldn’t even call them reserves.”

Will Inter try to reach the club’s point record in a season? It is currently set at 97 and was achieved by Roberto Mancini in the 2006-07 campaign.

“I think the team’s commitment is evident. We want to thank Torino for what they did [a guard of honour], which was not to be taken for granted, and it says everything about the sportsmanship and the maturity of the league. Congratulations to the referee as well because even if it was a joyful atmosphere, they made no errors.”

Inter-Torino made history as it was overseen by an all-female team, led by Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi.

Farris continued by discussing Inter’s strengths this season.

“We’ve tried to build a positive environment. We lost important players [last summer], but we welcomed important players who made themselves loved,” said Inzaghi’s assistant.

“Going to the pitch and working this season was a pleasure. We had a lot of fun and it’s the players’ merit.

“We are Inter, we have great value, and we couldn’t afford to lose games like we used to. He’s our leader, he kept a high bar in difficult moments. Today, we are repaid for everything, and we can enjoy more of what happened in the previous two years. In football, defeats remain inside more than victories, but now we must enjoy this moment.”
