Moratti Surprised By Juventus Form
Inter President Massimo Moratti says that he is pleasantly surprised with just how well Juventus are doing in Serie A this season.
The Bianconeri were expected to struggle following their post-Calciopoli promotion from Serie B.
However Claudio Ranieri’s men have largely impressed, and although they are out of the title race, they are sitting pretty in third position.
On Saturday night Juve did Inter a big favour, as their 1-0 win over Roma in Turin extended the Nerazzurri’s lead at the top of Serie A to 11 points.
"I have been really surprised by their squad,” Moratti told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I did not think that after what had happened they would be competitive, with stubbornness, pride and results. Well done.”
Moving on to his own team, Moratti concurred with the view that, with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Julio Cruz, David Suazo and Hernan Crespo at their disposal, Inter currently have the best crop of strikers in the whole of Europe.
"Yes this is true, and remember that there is also [Mario] Balotelli. He is really special,” said the oil tycoon.
The Nerazzurri’s strength in depth was exemplified during the 2-0 win over Livorno on Saturday afternoon, when both Ibrahimovic and Cruz were rested in favour of Crespo and Suazo, with the latter scoring both goals.
