“I'm happy with their kind nature more than anything else, and the way they love one another. This is more important than the 360 goals or the scudetto."

“Simone told me that he's only just beginning to realize the size of his achievement. I gave him a kiss and congratulated him. Then Filippo embraced him and said well done. This is how we are."

He added, “When they wrote that he wasn't worthy of Inter. I got angry but Simone asked me to stay calm.
