Moratti: 'Messi for Inter dream not at all forbidden'

"I believe Messi is a dream that is not at all forbidden for Inter at this moment. Maybe it wasn't even before the misfortune of the coronavirus: he is at the end of the contract and I think there is certainly an effort by the company to try to bring him to Milan. In this situation the cards have been cleared, I don't know whether positive or negative ". Former Nerazzurri president Massimo Moratti said so.

"Of course - he added - one must not be too opportunistic, one must not split football, because whoever can take advantage of the situation. But I think there will be the possibility of seeing quite strange things".

The debate "restart yes-restart no" and in the case when, focuses on the main football tournament, which represents 2% of the clubs. But, it is the alarm that launches Moratti, "be careful not to neglect grassroots". It is true that "this 2% of the elite teams are dragging the rest of the movement", but without a solid foundation, the pyramid is likely to collapse, it is the sense of its intervention.

"The sacrifices that we are asking the big clubs and the money saved by cutting the salaries of the players, should also be translated into forms of support for minor football - Moratti underlines - Small companies are the ones that risk the most and at the moment not even the the industrial world can support them, being itself in difficulty ".

That of how and when to start playing again, "instinctively, is not a theme that is welcomed with pleasure. They are understandable controversies, even from an economic point of view, but which clash a little with the drama we are experiencing. I don't know whether they constitute a distraction or a greater burden. "

Among the various proposals is the expansion of the Serie A to 22 teams. "The effort of Serie B cannot be ignored, but a very long championship would be born - it is the perplexity expressed by Moratti - which would create problems for the Cups. Maybe it is too early to make a decision. And then it will be necessary to carefully evaluate the health of the players You can't think of
decide 'ready, go' and leave the next day ".
