Materazzi names the 3 Inter players that could have been a part of treble-winning team
Speaking to Suning PPSports, former Inter Milan and Italy player Marco Materazzi spoke on the upcoming derby clash and about Inter on a whole:
"I think Inter should always be in the Champions League, it's very important internationally, credit must be given to the new company that has done a great job, bringing the club back to the competition where I think they deserve to be. For the history that Inter have, it shouldn't be that they were missing from this competition for seven years. I think they are doing things right, to build a very important foundation for future and, this must be given credit to Suning, who is doing a great job.
"Nine years have passed since the treble, but I think there are so many players that could be a part of that Inter; Škriniar, De Vrij and Handanović.
"Mourinho? A man who had a particular empathy with the group, which led us to win everything. Because when a coach is in tune with his players it is true that the players always give a little something more, he could come up with 120% from everyone. Return? I don't know, you should ask him, I say he is one of my favourite coaches, if not the favourite, I cheer for him, stay with him for life and also judge him."
