Marotta acknowledged that the team's current state is a direct result of the busy schedule they have faced. He expressed gratitude to head coach Simone Inzaghi and his staff for their hard work throughout the season, as well as to Cristian Chivu for the valuable experience.

Marotta also used the opportunity to mention the team's upcoming season, stating that it will be a long and challenging one. He emphasized the importance of the players performing at a high level throughout the entire season, especially leading up to the World Cup.

When asked about captain Lautaro Martinez's harsh words for his teammates after the match, Marotta chose to interpret them in a positive light. He believed that Martinez was referring to an important concept: when a player no longer wants to be part of the team, it is best for them to leave. Marotta suggested that Martinez may have been referring to Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu's situation, who has been open about his potential move to Galatasaray this summer.
