Moratti: "Inter-Emergency a praiseworthy initiative"

President Massimo Moratti spoke to journalists on the sidelines of today's presentation of the Inter for Emergency project.
This is what he had to say:
Taking a photo with this cup and helping Emergency is a nice initiative.
"Let's say that this cup is nice and also good. I think it can be useful and if it's useful, it's marvellous. In this case lives can be saved through the generosity of Gino Strada. It's good to participate in these things."
Are you enjoying this World Cup and Wesley Sneijder, who is a great protagonist?
"This World Cup isn't bad. It has started to become tactical and our players have done well, especially Sneijder, so I think it will be a nice final. And there's a nice game tonight."
Your Brazilians and Argentines will return earlier...
"They will be very disappointed, but they will have more rest. I don't know if it is better to be happy or rested, but I'm sorry for them. They will have a bit more rest, it has been a long year for them."
Is there any truth in Manchester United's high offer for Sneijder?
"I think so but I don't know. I didn't want to ask too much about it so as not to fall into temptation."
And what about Balotelli?
"I don't know. We will see, but I think it's part of the media hype that always precedes a transfer window. I still haven't spoken to any of the protagonists. Like you, I'm also a reader of newspapers."
Have you ever had to defend all your champions from other clubs before?
"It's a great satisfaction to know that they are all transfer targets because it means they have shown they are very strong and have continued to do so at the World Cup, so it's confirmation that the team is strong and good. We will see what happens. I grateful to these players and I always will have. The transfer market will be very different in a few years' time, so we have to start adapting to this situation. We will see what happens. But it's true: there's more demand for our players than need for players."
But if offers come in, would two Inter players leave or only one?
"I still haven't received a good enough offer for even one to leave. We will see."
In England they're saying that Branca has called Sneijder's agent to keep him at Inter.
"I have already said that I don't know what has happened with Sneijder. I am enjoying this World Cup and I think it will be the same for Inter next year."
What is happening with Maicon?
"I don't know. We're are still at the dialogue phase, of agents moving. They might all end up staying and this would be fine."
Who will win tonight? Germany or Spain?
"I think Germany are strong. It will be a game between two different styles."
What about last night's duel between Sneijder and Forlan? There will be a repeat in the European Super Cup between Inter and Atletico Madrid in August.
"It's interesting. They are two great players. Forlan showed again yesterday that he has great character. It will be interesting to see them again in the Super Cup."
