«As a group we have never lost the desire to be together. It can happen that we make mistakes or play badly on the pitch, but we have always given everything we had for Inter. I am very proud of this team. We must enjoy this great achievement.” These are the words of Nicolò Barella, Inter midfielder, to Dazn, after the victory of the 21st title. «As we have always repeated – he continued – this was our objective. We also aimed to win more, but during the course of the season it can happen that we leave something along the way. Now we will try to bring home the Italian Cup too.” Barella then added: «In football as in life it is normal to go through difficult moments. Last year we came close to winning everything, but then we didn’t take home anything. However, we never gave up. Personally, I thank the team and the club, because they have always had a good word for me even in the hardest moments.”
“Since I arrived at Inter I have always seen a group that loves being together. Barella? He is the best Italian footballer at the moment. He has always helped both Inter and his own national team. I have never understood the criticism he has received. Even the best in the world, however, go through tough moments in which they are questioned.” Marcus Thuram, Inter striker, declared this to Dazn after winning the twenty-first Scudetto.
The message from Inter
«For us, victory isn’t just about coming first, it’s about everything you do before that moment. Winning is choosing to get up even when we feel lost”: this is part of the text of the emotional video published by Inter to celebrate the victory of the scudetto. «It’s dragging everyone on and off the pitch. It’s never stopping even for an instant. Neither in the head nor in the legs, victory is in the desire of those who have recently arrived, and in that of those who have chosen to always be there. In the dream of a child who grows up wearing our colours, and in the looks, in the voice and in the words of those who have always believed in us. In all these moments, in all these choices we have won. Because winning is not just about lifting a trophy. That’s why we won but not today.”
