Luciano Moggi has launched a scathing attack on Inter after their sluggish performance against Liverpool. “It’s 2002 all over again.”
The Nerazzurri are 11 points clear at the top of Serie A, but seemed out of sorts and defensive at Anfield even before Marco Materazzi’s 30th-minute red card.
“Inter turned up at Liverpool with their head in the clouds, thinking they had already won, just like they did in Rome that famous May 5, 2002,” said Moggi.
That day all they needed was a win or potentially even a draw away to Lazio in order to clinch the Scudetto, but they lost 4-2 and finished third behind Juventus and Roma.
Moggi, who as director general of Juve was at the centre of the Calciopoli scandal, also used the Liverpool loss and the Bianconeri’s current form to highlight what he saw as an over-reaction to his famous phone calls.
“It was certainly easy for Massimo Moratti to think of conspiracies, but the fact the current Juventus side is still making its presence felt proves that these plots Moratti talks about simply didn’t exist.
“I must compliment Claudio Ranieri and all the players of the old guard who remained at Juve.”
The Turin giants were demoted to Serie B, but won promotion immediately and are now just one point adrift of second place.
