On the eve of the match against Como, Chivu spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport to present the challenge. The Inter coach described the match as a key appointment to continue the team’s growth path.

“It’s the last match of this cycle, we’ve recovered strength and energy: we have to give continuity to the good things we’ve done and today is the right match,” declared the Nerazzurri coach. A clear message about the moment of the group, coming off a demanding period.

On the value of the opponents, Chivu left no room for underestimation: “Como? It’s no coincidence they’ve reached the top four, they have quality: we know it’s not an easy match and there will be difficulties, we have to raise our level in everything.” An assessment that reflects respect for the visiting team.

The coach then pointed out the qualities required of his players: “A lot of personality will be needed, both with and without the ball: we need to be determined and have a common mindset.” A request for cohesion and character, to be expressed in every phase of the game.
