Marotta: ‘Inter believe in evolution, not revolution’ for future of squad

“We are happy, there have been a series of positive results in recent years, and it starts from the top with the club owners. This is the model that can take us towards victory, sometimes we lose too, and last year did leave a mark, but Chivu did well to get us back on track.

“There are some small regrets over the Champions League this term, but you also have to give credit to the opponents.”

That only blip was the elimination from the Champions League play-offs to Bodo/Glimt in February, but it allowed Inter to focus all their attention on Serie A.

Inter are already looking forward to the future with a series of transfers believed to be on the horizon, but the idea is always to keep building on the foundations.

“I am very optimistic, albeit respectful of our opponents. We believe in evolution and not revolution, so young players like Petar Sucic require time to get settled and develop,” concluded Marotta.

“We will continue to identify talented young players who we can help to grow, combining them with experienced figures who have the winning mentality already ingrained.

“There’s no need to change all that much. Unfortunately, some players are coming to the end of their contracts, and this is a physiological issue, we cannot fight time. We are ready to again gradually introduce young players, there is no need for a revolution.”
