Make it Inter 1993 and Inter 2006. My point was that the Italian fan base will more or less be the same.

Hmmm, I think I know why do you find it hard to understand. To make it more understandable for you, imagine for a second that you're not Russian, nor you support the Russian NT, but for some reason you're a big Spartak Moscow fan and I ask you if you'd pick an all Russian starting XI or all...

That has to be a "choose one or I kill you" question because I see no point in choosing if the success is the same. It's almost a hat pick because it makes no difference in the end if the team is all Italian or all foreign. It will come down to financial benefits I guess. The Italian...

On second thought, I can actually imagine a successful Juve with a core of Italian players, if by that we understand some 5 Italians in the starting XI and some other Italians for the bench. There aren't many quality Italian players right now, but a team that has Buffon, Bonucci, Chiellini...

Quality wins. Be it Italian or non-Italian quality. And ok, I can finally accept the fact that we have so many average Italian players for the reason that we couldn't buy top quality and when choosing between Italian average player vs Foreign average player we chose the Italian. Ok, it...

But why from a sporting point of view? Don't you think that we'll be going backwards instead of forwards, as the other big teams do who give priority to quality than to nationality? I don't know how relevant this is. For almost a century Juve have not been more Italian than Inter, Milan, Roma...

In what way? You mean "remain the most popular"? Or do you mean Marotta's actions will put Juve back on top quality and success wise too?

Still, slowly but surely, the Juve players are losing their place in the starting XI. Marchisio, Motta, Pepe... And rightfully so I would say. If I was the coach only 3 Juve players would start for the Italian NT, 4 at most if Aquilani gets back to his old self and stops getting injured all...

It's not AzzurJuve, it's ItalJuve. More than 2/3 of our players are Italian and the fact that only 2 of them start for the average Azzurri, tells a lot how good those Juve Italians are.

You clearly imply that the Swedish media is biased towards Zlatan which means that they are not a reliable source. And all they said was that after he got married he matured and is being a very good captain for Sweden. It didn't go well with the image in your head though, did it? :D

Rooney is being butchered by the same media that adores him before every EURO and world cup. You're doing it again. You know nothing about Zlatan as an individual. You want him to be the bad guy you imagine him to be, the guy who simply has to be the opposite of your hero, so now you...

She knew that, of course. You don't think she pulled the trigger just like that, do you?

In serious deficit of such viewers around these parts, Zlatan does need defending :D

I know they haven't won it. They might easily not win it. But it won't hurt you to say your opinion. Do you think that Milan are far superior to Inter or any superior to Inter at all?

Actually, listening to him he sounds much more intelligent and smarter than an average footballer and than most of the footballers I heard talking. Plus he has great sense of humor.

Which was never the case. Far superior? Really? "As good as" is more likely. I don't think Ajax were far superior to PSV, nor were Juve far superior to Milan. It's doubtful if Inter in 2006/07 were far superior to the Milan that actually won the CL that year or if Barca were far superior...

I remember this particular quote. You took it from one article from April 2006, didn't you?

Our team in the return leg wasn't particularly impressive either. We had Giannichedda as our creator. Mutu was playing on the right wing, young Chiellini as a left back and Robert Kovac in CB.

I'd take a CL humiliation with both hands (Can it get worse than our humiliation last year?) if in return we win a scudetto. Would you rather we end up 7th in serie A and smash out of both CL and EL with 1:4 defeats, but only not to have Zlatan in the team? Actually, knowing you, you would.

Turk said that Zlatan scored 0 goals in CL that year. I was telling him that he was wrong, giving him the list of goalscorers in CL in that particular year he was talking about. Do you disagree with that list? Was there a way to answer him which was gonna be less honest or more honest? Is...
