The new season of Inter already has its mantra. Cristian Chivu, in a press conference, repeatedly emphasizes a clear message: raise the level. The Nerazzurri coach knows how to communicate with the team and the environment, and his recurring phrase is highlighted by the Corriere dello Sport in newsstands this morning.

Chivu does not intend to settle for what has already been achieved. After asking his players, a year ago, to be the best version of themselves, now the Romanian has decided to raise the bar. The concept is repeated consistently, because he wants it to be fully absorbed by the Nerazzurri environment and, above all, by the locker room.

The coach’s request is explicit: a leap in quality is needed. The previous season brought satisfaction, but for Chivu it represents only a starting point. The level must be raised, and the message comes through loud and clear to all his men.
