Once again impeccable in his statements, Cristian Chivu commented on the qualification to the semifinals tonight in the Coppa Italia against Torino on Mediaset microphones. The Inter coach also spoke about the transfer market and the very busy schedule, hot topics at this stage of the season. These are his words:
THE MATCH – “I don’t give ratings because I’m not a journalist and I don’t play fantasy football, I’m happy with what we managed to do and create, then it’s normal to suffer at the end. But we’re happy to have gone through, everyone is happy.”
COPPA ITALIA – “We want to be competitive and give continuity to what we have done so far, we move forward with conviction and with work.”
CHOICES – “We know who we are dealing with, these are matches where you need energy and legs. Today they had energy, we had to manage the moment. Then there are two guys from the Under 23 to whom I give my compliments, but I extend them to the whole youth sector. Here we talk about Cocchi and Kamate, but I could also mention others who were on the bench. I congratulate Stefano Vecchi who is doing a great job in Serie C, with many young players who are growing and who could be useful to us during the season.”
TRANSFER MARKET – “Am I satisfied? A team and a coach can always improve, obviously there is often talk about what a group can improve, about what we would need. It doesn’t always work out and that’s fine, the club tried to do everything based on my requests, unfortunately the market is tough. We have these Under 23 guys who are helping us, our job is to work and keep going step by step this season.”
SCHEDULE – “I am never worried, I like to play, even as a player I preferred playing to training. I have desire and ambition, without falling into obsessions that create expectations and expectations create disappointments. We move forward step by step, we have energy, players who are always ready and help us.”
