Inter President Massimo Moratti has sensationally declared that his team are capable of scoring 15 goals against Liverpool in their Champions League last 16 second leg.
The Nerazzurri face an uphill task to qualify for the quarter-finals following their 2-0 defeat at Anfield in the first leg on Tuesday night.
Despite this scoreline Moratti is supremely confident of turning the tie around.
"We have yet to play the second leg, which will be in the more favourable conditions at San Siro,” he said.
“If the crowd are as I expect them to be, it will be hard for Liverpool. I have trust. We have 90 minutes and we can score 15 goals if we want to.”
Moratti also passed comment on the group of Inter fans who attacked Coach Roberto Mancini, first at Liverpool Airport, and then in Milan.
"Those fans are the same people who in the past have sung songs in favour the Coach,” said the oil tycoon.
“I hope they will return to this during the game, where everyone must be compact with the team. Being unhappy is normal, but this was only the first time.”
Finally Moratti was also at an odds to explain the reported falling-out between Marco Materazzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic appeared to blame the defender, who was sent-off against Liverpool, for the defeat, and now the pair are said to not be speaking to one another.
"I do not know what happened, but I do not think that there is any controversy,” he stated.
“These guys are friends, are always together and both attach great importance to overcome the turn.”
