MORATTI, LAST WARNING TO INTER

"Wake up!  Ranieri stays.  Now the spark with Juve."

The president: "The coach does no harm.  Oriali left unpleasantly.  If I keep Branca it is because he is good."

Milan - For now equilibrium prevails.  For now.  "Ranieri stays: he is a serious and responsible person.  He does no harm," said Massimo Moratti.  The Inter number one also chooses to send a strong warning to a club in constant trouble.  "Forlan said that we must return to winning ways?  He's right, winning a match like one in Turin can also change the situation.  They all must wake up and then I hope for a spark that can really push us: sometimes a win would be enough to reverse the route."  He then left his office shortly before 8:00 pm.  Was about to get into the car, he stopped, adjusted his glasses and began repartee.  He looked calm: serenity more evident and real than apparent.

President, were you thinking of the upcoming plot twists with your silence and escape after Inter-Atalana?

"But... I did not run away from the San Siro.  I only left when there were few minutes before the end of the game.  At the break, I got to the dressing room to try something new.  Did I do it for good luck?  No, no..."

Tell us, is Ranieri staying?
"You cannot take three days to make decisions which affect the future.  There is a risk and if we rush it, your plans could get ruined, everything.  Ranieri is a serious, classy and responsible person.  He is not the one that does the damage to the club.  In short: Ranieri remains, his post is safe."

In the meantime: do you have in mind the coach for the future?

(Smiles) "In the moment, I only have Ranieri in mind."

This team has not won at home since January 22, still see the soul?
"I think that this team has been through many situations and those less beautiful, they know how to handle such moments."

What is your position on Forlan case?  Have you spoken with the player and the coach?
"Yes, I have talked to both, first with the player and then with Ranieri.  It is not something serious but mostly what I think happened is a consequence of the relationship that exists between them a candid relationship."

Certainly not like Eto'o who played as a left-back...

"We'll leave the comparison with Eto'o aside: in that season, the situation was different and he was winning everything..."

Does the the world luck has anything to do with Inter today?

"I don't think talking about bad luck is appropriate. Sure, sometimes it gets in the way, but if you always see it as the main reason, well in the long run, it's gonna sound like you're making excuses."

Then there is a duel between your former director Gabriele Oriali and the current technical director Marco Branca?

"I always find it annoying that a person that is no longer at the club said those things...  If I keep Branca it is because I consider him good."

Sunday, Juventus-Inter: a spark to turn the season around?
"Maybe, certainly I hope so, a win could be an important spark.  Sometimes a game can reverse course, it can really become the shock of the season that we need."

Tell us the truth: the coach for next year is Italian or a foreigner?

"Good evening eh..."
