Champions Inter is on top of the Serie A table.
“It's a happy moment,” Marotta told Sky Italia.
“But with a sense of realism, we know that we still have the last two months of the season, followed by the club World Cup, in what will be an unusual continuation of the campaign.
“We compete in tournaments where we want to be protagonists – which is determined by both our history and our current merits.
“The coach has done an excellent job, just like the players, the team and the fans. There is the right atmosphere to reach the finish line in the best possible condition.
“I will not talk about a treble. Instead, I will talk about an environment that should always be ambitious. Ambition is not an arrogance – it is something that you encourage you to do your best within your options and motivation.
“We are used to competing under considerable pressure. The most important thing is to fight until the end. If others turn out to be better than we do, we will accept it with respect.”
On coach Simone Inzaghi's contract, which runs until 2026, Marotta also said: “We have always tackled such things at the right time.
“All the conditions are present to imagine that he will continue with us. What is important is the strong connection that has been built – there are the best possible basis to sit down and discuss the future.
“We all grew together with Inzaghi, and we are in the middle of a cycle that is not nearly over.
