There is already a lot of curiosity in the Nerazzurri world surrounding Cristian Chivu and what his first Inter as coach will look like. The Romanian coach, who will be officially announced as the new manager by tomorrow, has already defined much of the staff that will accompany him in this new experience on the bench at Appiano Gentile.
Among his collaborators, the continued presence of Mario Cecchi stands out in particular. Cecchi, famed tactical assistant to Simone Inzaghi, has chosen to remain in Milan and not follow the coach to Saudi Arabia. This choice, among others, suggests there will be continuity between the old Inter and Chivu’s new one from various perspectives.
First of all, the formation: the 3-5-2 will also serve as a starting point for the Romanian coach. In his experience at Parma this past season—his first in Serie A—Chivu demonstrated a preference for this system of play, albeit with different principles compared to Inzaghi. As the coach himself has admitted, he prefers at times a more cautious approach, with a focus on the defensive phase, yet without sacrificing quality in terms of play.
Cecchi’s continued presence suggests that, in terms of build-up play, there will be tactical continuity with the previous era, though with particular adjustments on the defensive end. Therefore, we expect that Chivu could make a greater impact in two areas: the first, motivating the group to restore energy after their devastating Champions League final loss; the second, analytical work within matches themselves.
In his 13 appearances as a Serie A manager, Chivu has shown great ability in reading games and making adjustments during the match. Evidence of this came in the second half against Inter, when—down by two goals—by changing the formation and tactical approach, Parma managed to come back and even came close to victory.
With these premises, which must now be followed up with results on the pitch, we certainly do not expect an Inter side that is reckless or exclusively devoted to attractive attacking football. At the same time, Chivu may preserve some aspects of Inzaghi’s work, particularly the high level of movement and freedom afforded to players, with a central focus on the qualities of the two forwards.
Hence the provocation: Chivu’s new Inter will hardly appeal to Antonio Cassano, who is fascinated by a more offensive style of football as exemplified by Barcelona and PSG this past season. By adopting some of Inzaghi’s principles, seeking renewed defensive solidity with a deeper line and thus at times less intense pressing, Chivu—at least initially—may chiefly aim to restore the tactical balance that was often missing last season.
