After the good away win this afternoon on the field of Cremonese, Inter has gone +8 points ahead of Milan while waiting for Tuesday’s match with Bologna. Regarding today’s victory, these were the words of Cristian Chivu to the microphones of Dazn:
THE MATCH – “For maturity, for finding ways and methods to win a match. I think this is the secret, especially when there is no energy, especially when you have so many matches in a row, even with rotations it’s tough. However, I’ll take the result, I’ll take what happened in the first half, where we forced a bit what was our game plan. We managed to unlock it, we managed to go into halftime with a two-goal lead. In the second half, partly because of energy, partly because of the situation, because of the context created, we slowed down a bit, we lost clarity, we didn’t create much, we thought we could manage it and we managed to do so. But sometimes you have to try to do a little better, even if it’s never easy, I repeat, because in these contexts and situations, I’ve been there too as a player, having had the chance to play every three days, it’s never easy.”
MATURITY – “Consistency, finding ways and methods, understanding moments, understanding matches, you can always improve, that’s it. But I’ll take the maturity, I’ll take this crazy desire to be competitive, always trying to be the best version of ourselves on that day, despite the difficulties we have. I’ll also take the maturity of this group, of these guys, because they are doing great things, things that allow us to be competitive. And it’s not easy, because I, as a coach, struggle myself.”
MANY MATCHES – “The other night my daughter knocked, I had fallen asleep on Thursday evening watching the Europa League, at nine thirty I was sleeping, she knocked to come into the bedroom and I had fallen asleep and I got scared because I thought I was late for a meeting, that’s it. That’s how you live and I’m sure the players live the same way, because you wake up in the morning and you don’t know if you’re at home or in a hotel. Because football is lived like this, luckily, and it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful because there’s so much maturity, ambition and desire to be competitive.”
