From Milan in the 1950s to the Christian Democrat faith. Love for Inter and hatred for Juve. The strongest players ("Angelillo and Ronaldo, I was afraid of Nordhal") and the treble (" Only then did I feel up to my father ").
And again: Serie A "manipulated" by Juve and relations with Berlusconi (" A friend, as an entrepreneur I respect him a lot. The politician? Don't let me talk, I wouldn't want to lose his friendship ").
Massimo Moratti talks about himself in a long interview with Corriere. And he reveals an anecdote about the reason that prompted his father Angelo to buy Cagliari.
As is well known, Angelo Moratti, once he sold Inter, invested in the Sardinian company after having founded Saras in Sarroch and for some time held de facto control.
To push him to invest was, once again, the "healthy hatred" of the Morattis for the Old Lady. “My father - Massimo Moratti reveals - bought Cagliari when he learned he was about to sell Riva to Juve. The next morning the Sardinian managers informed Agnelli that the deal could no longer be done, that the club had a new owner. The lawyer did not even ask who he was, he had already understood ”.
After a few years, the wonderful rossoblù scudetto also arrived, dragged along by Gigi Riva. And Moratti also remembers Domenghini, another protagonist of the Tricolore, "that Inter had sold to Cagliari for Boninsegna".
