Marotta: I learned so much from Galliani, and it was really wonderful to have a walk with him.

According to the Italian media fcinter1908 website, Marotta and Galliani were interviewed one after another when they attended a social event together.

Marotta said: "Galliani and I were lucky to turn our love into a career. I learned so much from him. The days with him were really good, and it all was built on our friendship. Do you want to tell me an anecdote between me and him? At that time we were in the 'opposition camp' and there was a bit of 'competition' - he was the management of the Monza club, and I was at Varize. I remember that there was a game at Monza home, and Varize beat them 1-0 with a penalty kick in the 90th minute. I clearly remember that Galliani was very angry at that time, and I was just 20 Looking back now, I can understand that the 'anger' back then (actually Galliani's extreme dedication to work) later gave him the reward he deserved."

Galliani said: "I am 13 years older than Marotta, but we have always been friends. When I was in Monza and he was in Varese, this friendship was not affected. He and I never became opponents in Inter Milan against AC Milan, because during the period when Inter Milan fought against Milan, I had already returned to Monza. I still remember his experience when he first arrived in Monza. At that time, we often met and even had dinner together. Speaking of sportsmanship, I want to pay tribute to the city of Milan - this spirit between AC Milan and Inter Milan is a model. The club management staff will change, but this spirit engraved in the bones has never changed."
