Italian team ready for French solve (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interpret

'solve' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'italian team ready for french' is the wordplay.
'italian team' becomes 'inter' (Inter Milan FC).
'ready for french' becomes 'pret'' ('ready' in French).
'inter'+'pret'='INTERPRET'

(Other definitions for interpret that I've seen before include "Construe" , "Orally translate" , "Translate, make sense of" , "Explain the meaning of - another language?" , "Read" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
