Inter Milan stars: We deserve Scudetto celebrations
|
Inter Milan players insist they deserve to celebrate the Scudetto they were awarded last week.
The Nerazzuri were awarded the 2005/06 Scudetto on Wednesday evening by acting president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) Guido Rossi, but the discussion of whether Inter can count themselves as true champions continues to flare.
While Juve players have insisted they will still class themselves as champions, Inter's Javier Zanetti believes his side did, in fact, deserve to win the title.
"I felt morally a champion even before the Federation's decision,'' he said.
"This title is deserved and everybody knows why. We won our points fair and square on the field.''
Colombian defender Ivan Cordoba said: "Whoever plays dirty has to pay for it. If one of our management team had done the same, we would have been involved too.
"I want the three stripes (for winning the last season's title) on my shirt to show the whole world that Inter won for their own merits.
"We won all of our points in an honest way.''
Zanetti confirmed that the whole squad would celebrate the title "when we are all here together".
Juve midfielder Pavel Nedved had claimed: "To win the title, you need to end the season in top spot on the final day of the season, something Inter never did.''
