Marotta: The Milan duo are fully willing to help the national team and Italy cannot miss the World Cup

The Milan Derby was held in the 12th round of Serie A. This game was the first derby after the two teams reached an agreement to acquire the stadium. In an interview with DAZN, Inter Milan President Marotta discussed related topics.

About the first Milan derby after reaching the stadium acquisition agreement

This is our first derby at our "home" and it is a historic moment. This will be a day that will go down in the history of Derby and Italian football, as it is the first time such an important collaboration between the two teams. However, we must also respect this iconic building, which carries countless emotions and passions. Our responsibility is to continue building a new stadium that preserves this possibility.

About the fight for top spot

That's the best thing about football, on the one hand it brings people together and on the other hand it puts you in a game where the outcome is crucial. But the appeal of the derby goes far beyond the rankings themselves. We are in a transitional phase and it is important to continue to perform well but it is still too early to compete for the league title.

Regarding whether the league schedule will be adjusted due to Italy's participation in the World Cup qualifying play-offs

The national team is part of the wealth of our domestic football, and as a club, we must allow the Azzurri to participate in these competitions under the best conditions. From our perspective, there is full willingness to help Italy move forward on these two challenging but within its capabilities. Italy cannot miss the World Cup.
