Moggi: Inter shouldn't have Ibra Sunday 4 November, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luciano Moggi believes Inter have taken advantage of Calciopoli to pluck Juventus’ best players. “I would never have sold them Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
This week Nerazzurri patron Massimo Moratti insisted he had paid “market value” prices for Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira during the summer of 2006 when the club was demoted.
“Football is not corrupt, it is a business and management works to develop the product. You need to be smart to deal in that environment,” said the disgraced former director of sport.
“Inter did not win, but as soon as they got Ibrahimovic he took over the whole team and now they are victorious. I got Ibrahimovic and if I had still been there, I would not have sold him to Inter.”
Ibra was snapped up from Ajax in 2004 and helped the Bianconeri to two consecutive Scudetti – later revoked in the Calciopoli trial.
Roma had also been interested in the player, but it was Moggi who always managed to secure the top transfer targets.
“You need to be smart in football, as managing a top club means always watching your back. I have always won and had the strongest squads. Let us not forget than in the 2006 World Cup Final there were nine players out there signed by me.
“I don’t know if you’d call it talent, but it is good to never ask for money from the shareholders and always win.”
Moggi was interviewed on La7 by Daria Bignardi and commented on how he felt when the Calciopoli scandal first broke.
“I felt like a train that had been derailed. From triumph and a high-profile position I went straight to the gutter. I was afraid to leave the house because I didn’t know how the fans would take it.
“I reacted in the end, at times too strongly. At one stage I thought about ending it all, but faced with a family I must protect, I hit back.”
He was accused of leading a Mafia-style group controlling Serie A and even affecting international call-ups, but Moggi insists he was made a scapegoat and hints at ulterior motives behind last week’s controversial refereeing decisions against Juventus in Naples.
“People hate me because I have won too much. I am not an angel, but there are far more devilish creatures than me. There are those who illegally spy on people and now say that the referees make mistakes in good faith,” he said with a veiled reference to Inter’s notorious legal battle with Christian Vieri over private investigators who allegedly wiretapped his phone.
“Good faith are two words that have nothing to do with what is happening now, when the referees are making more mistakes than ever.”

All the time I am thinking shall we start with trident ,Trez,Yaquinta and DP.We must put a pressure to them and play hard,very hard all 90 minutes.We must press them (if we can) on their field by running a lot and covering players.I thing that Chiellini must go on fucking Ibra,but Crespo should be covered also.
We must play with 100 perc. of our power ,wisely and ,with cold head.
I just want we win this fucking game.
Before this,I was nervous like this when we beat Milan 1 0 on May 8 th 2005 with a pass from my avatar from DP and Trez buried Milan in the middle of Milan.
We will see.
Lets hope.
NESSUNO COME NOI .FORZA MAGICO JUVENTUS.

Moggi is ,as usual right.
Zlatan is a class player>Yes he is a traitor and his second year in Juve was a disaster,but he is now Alpha wolf in Inter.
We should never sold him to Inter.
We gave them a nice and full product.
Fucking Morrati would gave a double of his price just to have him in Inter.
We should sell him to Real or somewhere else but not in the creeps called Inter.
He is very dangereous and have some street skills,and if the referee do not see he,grabs,tears ,punches and everything.Chiellini is a must for him.
Anyway whatever happened tonight they will never,ever be big as we are,no way.We are one and only.Just to pass this game properly.

Shows his wonderful character
He won't even score,Legro will handle him
.Dream on Zlatiboy.

Oh no they would not. Best striker in world? Totti? Kaka? Toni?
Good old Moggi. He is so true in what he is saying. The refereing hve never been worse than now. And its true he was great in signing players
Of couse he is class,it doesnt take a smart person to understand this.
He is one of the best forwards in the world if not the Best.
his season he is giving even more than he ever did before,he is the one making the difference in every Inter's match either by scoring or assisting except the last one.
Right now I cant stand the guy but I also cant stand(C.Ronaldo,Lampard & Gerrard.etc....) buy any one who doubt their abilities is simply in denial or dont understand anything about football.
Anyway lets forget about him,we will never win this match by players supremacy,we can only win it by Personality,Anger & Vendetta.
I cant wait no moreee.

Lippi's Juve-Inter predictions
Marcello Lippi coached both Inter and Juventus, so he analyses tonight’s Scudetto showdown – the Derby d’Italia grudge match.
“It has always been a high-profile encounter and it is with good reason that this has been dubbed the Derby d’Italia,” said the World Cup winner in newspaper 'Tuttosport.’
“I don’t think anyone expected Juve to have such a strong start to the season and all the predictions were overturned. Juve-Inter therefore represents a crucial tie for the table and a victory would open a fascinating path to Claudio Ranieri’s side.”
Above all it is a grudge match following the Calciopoli scandal and the Bianconeri’s demotion to Serie B. Lippi has seen both sides of the rivalry in his career.
“The two clubs have decided to approach this game in a relaxed manner. I remember that one time Juve-Inter was surrounded by bitter and vicious comments, but thankfully the directors are now using wisdom and the correct sense of balance.”
For the first time in perhaps two decades, the Nerazzurri are going into this clash in Turin as the favourites.
“Inter are stronger than any other side, that is the truth. I cannot say if they are much stronger or only a little bit, but there is a clear gap.
“The Nerazzurri will win the Scudetto, because over time they inevitably come out on top. In a one-off game nobody who faces Inter can feel they are without a chance, so Juventus can quite easily win.”
All eyes will be on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has publicly stated he’ll welcome jeers from the Turin crowd, as it will give him extra motivation to defeat his former fans.
“I like him, he is a nice fellow. Above all else, he is one of the few strikers who celebrates the same whether he scores or sets up a teammate,” added Lippi.
“It’s not easy to find players like that and I feel like comparing him to Zinedine Zidane.”

i am soooooooooooooo nervous. if we dont give them to much space and mark up especially on zlatan then we can win. if the defenders do there job properly then i think we have a good chance of getting all 3 points. i belive that trezeguet and dp can find the goals but i believe that nedved is the key player for us. if we belive then we will win but if we have doubt then we will lose. we must go into this match not playing really fast football and then losing the football but playing safe until we find a breeak on. what ever happens tonight i will always be a bianconeri!
