    Leonardo's era at Inter begins

    • Cristian Giudici

    Leonardo's new adventure at Inter has officially started. He was presented today at 12.30 by Massimo Moratti.

    "Today is a very special day for me. I am excited, Inter is a powerful, fascinating and unexpected challenge. I arrive here at inter, one of the biggest clubs in the world, in the most important year of its history, the year in which Inter won everything. Inter is now a reality, the most important reality. I was looking for a dream, a big motivation, a great challenge: at the moment there is no challenge greater than Inter."

    "Am I feeling "Interista" now? I must be honest, I will never forget Milan, but I have always tried to be free. I do admire Galliani and thank Capello, who was the only one wanting me in Italy. It's difficult to compare Inter and Milan. I knew everybody at Milan, everything is new here"

    Kaka? I don't think he will leave Madrid before he actually showed his talent. I speak to him often, he's recovering and can't wait to play".

    "The championship is long and I believe we can win the Scudetto. We are 13 points down Milan, but we need to play two matches more. It's not difficult to catch up.

    Milan are the favourite at the moment, but we must think of ourselves. We already have the team who won everything and has its own identity. I don't have anything to invent, only to let them play at their best. I don't think the players are satisfied, I don't believe in magic solutions. I must watch now, keeping the many positive things and resolving the few negative ones. The World Cup for club was highly motivating for the team. It was a great 2010, but this is just a starting point. All the players welcomed me". 

    "The market? I spoke to the club. It's also a matter of opportunities. We shouldn't acquire player just to do something. Benitez is a winner, critics are not necessary. My models are Telé Santana and Capello. Mourinho was fantastic with me. I called him and we spoke about many things. I do take his opinion into consideration because he's intelligent and he knows this evironment very well. But I am not Mourinho, I have only coached for one year".
