Inter Milan President Declares ‘We Want To Win The FIFA Club World Cup’ – Adds ‘Not By Chance That We’re Winning Trophies’ | OneFootball

Nerazzurri President Beppe Marotta has no doubt that Inter Milan want to win the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

Speaking at the Club World Cup trophy presentation, via FCInterNews, Marotta also declared that it is “not my chance” that Inter have been winning trophies in recent seasons.

Inter Milan will participate in the Club World Cup this summer.

It is a completely new format for the competition.

For one thing, FIFA have greatly expanded the number of teams competing. There will be 32 teams from the different confederations.

Inter are one of two teams from Serie A to have qualified for the Club World Cup. Juventus are the other.

Meanwhile, the Club World Cup will take place in the summer.

That means that, rather than happening midway through the European season as has been the case in the past, the Club World Cup will happen at the end of the campaign for European teams.

Marotta: “Inter Milan Want To Win The FIFA Club World Cup”

New FIFA Club World Cup Trophy

In the meantime, Inter have other aims. The Nerazzurri are still fighting to win the Serie A title, Coppa Italia, and Champions League.

But in just a couple months’ time, Inter’s focus will shift to the Club World Cup.

Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta called participation in the tournament “a source of pride.”

“It’s a reward for the professionalism that the team has shown. And also those behind the scenes.”

“We’re satisfied with it,” Marotta said. “But we also have a strong motivation to win it.”

“It will be an important event on a sporting level,” the Inter President said of the Club WOrld Cup.

“And certainly anachronistic, because it will be played between the two seasons.”

“We’ll have to manage an unprecedented period of time,” Marotta said. “The staff and the club will have to find new levels of energy to deal with it on a psychological level.”

“Lifting this trophy would be a dream,” he added. “And sometimes dreams come true.”

The Nerazzurri President declared that “we have the absolute will to win.”

“Then, a lot will depend on motivation.”

“In Italy, we’re not winning trophies by chance,” Marotta added. “But because we’ve earned them with work.”
