MILAN - Inter executive vice president Angelomario Moratti spoke to the club's official TV station Inter Channel after today's presentation of the new La Gazzetta dello Sport/Rai Trade DVD series that retraces the career of ex-Inter player Roberto Baggio.

"I have always identified Roberto Baggio with talent, which also means the talent of being humble," said Angelomario Moratti. "He gave Inter and the Interisti strong emotions. We didn't win much when he was here, but Baggio's time with the Nerazzurri was a period of strong emotions and he was a protagonist. We might remember most the victory over Real Madrid, but there were also many other occasions during which Roberto gave us fans very strong emotions."

Baggio's career at Inter started and finished with braces of goals. "He knew how to perform when the fans wanted him to," remembered Moratti, "and Baggio has remained attached to our colours, in terms of the club and the family. And we are honoured because he is a very pleasant person, a friend."

??Baggio and Inter. Love in the past and the present. But what about the future? "On our part there's always the possibility of Roberto being part of the club, but we have to see what he wants. Our doors will always be open for him. He would be able to handle various aspects, including club communication on the outside considering that Baggio is a symbol of Italy."

Moving onto the Champions League, Angelomario Moratti said he has seen a tremendous improvement in the Nerazzurri's European form, particularly against the English teams. He said: "I don't think there was a psychological block. There is a very big difference in growth that has come thanks mostly to the great job done by José Mourinho.

"We have a coach who in a year and a half has created an atmosphere of confidence, spirit and strength of character that our players probably didn't think they had. An example of this is Lucio. We have chosen players with the right characteristics. Lucio impressed me last night. He was incredible.

"Now we go to London with the same spirit we have seen on several occasions this year. A fighting spirit, the right spirit. I'm very confident this year because I can see a big difference, and this is thanks to Mourinho."
