INTER: MORATTI ON INTER'S WIN OVER ATALANTA

/noticias.info/ MILAN - "For some time I had been thinking that this game against Atalanta would be our most difficult match," admitted Inter president Massimo Moratti after Saturday's Serie A win at the Meazza. "For many reasons: it was the last of the calendar year so there is considerable tension; because they traditionally play well in Milan; because we had a team that had never played together. But all our boys did very well."

"We had a few problems in the first half and I even thought for a moment that a draw would be a positive result. But they all did well, better than I thought, and I'm very happy that Adriano scored and Figo showed how important he can be for this team, even when not in the starting lineup.

"Eleven consecutive victories represent many battles won. But we still haven't won anything and the boys have fully understood this, and today's match was proof. Mancini also has the right attitude in this sense.

"We're happy to spend Christmas without any worries and with serenity, but we know we have six months ahead in which we will have to do well to win.

"Inter and Roma are the teams who collected the most points in 2006? This is very positive for both teams. They are teams who arouse curiosity and enthusiasm. The championship could still turn out to be very exciting, but we obviously hope we can be more relaxed as we go on.

"Greetings for the Inter fans? They are important. In them I see kindness, affection, hope and the pleasure of all these fans. I exchange greetings with all the affection possible, hoping that the team will continue to reply positively, like they did today. I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." notas_de_prensa_archivo
