Abete: 'Forza Inter!' Monday 12 April, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIGC President Giancarlo Abete is fully backing Inter in their European campaign and is also incredibly entertained by the Scudetto race.
Abete told the Press how good it is for calcio to have such an exciting finale but he also hopes this won't undermine the Nerazzurri's European challenge.
“Inter are an exceptional team,” said Abete.
“Their potential is incredible and they are still in all tournaments. We must be proud of the Nerazzurri because they are the only Italian club left in Europe.
“Inter are defending that little margin which put us ahead of Germany in order not to lose the fourth place in the Champions League."
Regarding Serie A, Abete is also very excited at how things have turned out.
“Indeed, it is a thrilling finale,” he claimed.
“It is a beautiful campionato, open to all results. Starting from Friday we will have so many important games.
“I didn't honestly expect Roma to do that well. They had a really bad start and then came out of nowhere. Congratulations to their Coach.
“Claudio Ranieri has done an incredible job both tactically and mentally.”
