FORMER INTER BOSS SHADES MILAN

Former Inter Milan boss Erick Thohir is shading rivals AC Milan, which are keen on spending their way to success this term.


Inter Milan used to be owned by the Moratti family.

They owned the club from 1955 to 1986 and the second spell from 1995 to 2013.

The then club chief Massimo Moratti spent €1.5 billion of his personal fortune to get high calibre players but his successor Thohir does not feel the same way. Thohir took over in 2013 as leader of Indonesian consortium International Sport Capital HK ltd to acquire majority shares from Internazionale Holdings. Inter became the first club in the Serie A to be sold to Chinese ownership when they agreed a deal with Suning Holdings Group in 2016.

After the Chinese acquired the Nerazzurri, co-tenants at the San Siro Stadium AC Milan were bought by Chinese consortium named Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux this year.

“If you remember, when I came into Inter Milan in 2013, we signed the Financial Fair Play. This year, we have to balance between buying and selling players. Inter are in transition,” Thohir argued.

On the other hand, Milan have spent £160 million this summer in getting ten new players. Thohir claimed that the new investors had no confidence in the past team, hence their “different strategy.” Continue reading “FORMER INTER BOSS SHADES MILAN”

The Portuguese tactician is obviously frustrated at the players and called them out publicly of recent.

“Smalling doesn’t fell he can play 100 percent with his pain. Shaw told me this morning he was not in the condition to play so we had to build a defensive line.

Former Inter Milan defenderCristian Chivuhas claimed that his team, which won the treble in 2010, is significantly better than the reigning Juventus team.

Juventus have won the league title for the last three seasons, but more importantly, they have reached the Champions League final along with a Coppa Italia title.
