Visibly satisfied with the performance of his boys on the field against Como in the 4-0 win by Inter, Cristian Chivu analyzed the entire match this afternoon in the post-match interview with Dazn. From the celebration to the market rivalry with Fabregas, here are the words of the Inter coach:
PERFORMANCE – “We could have done better, much better. In the first half we were a bit frantic, but considering the energy we spent pressing them high, that’s understandable. We played a real match and we take three important points.”
FABREGAS VS CHIVU – “Extra motivation? These are just newspaper headlines, I don’t care. What matters to me is the daily work, our objectives, what we need to improve. The rest are headlines that are convenient for those who talk about football, but that’s fine.”
LUIS HENRIQUE AND DIOUF – “We need everyone, the 22 outfield players, the 3 goalkeepers plus those coming from the U23. That’s how you build things and prepare for the difficulties of the season. Those coming from other leagues need time, mine adapt in the best way also thanks to the teammates who have been here for a long time and know what it means to play for Inter, they take care of them as best they can.”
ATTITUDE – “I would have liked to keep possession a bit more, we were always in a hurry when we gained ground to play vertically. Of course, you have to play first touch if they come at you man to man. We needed more calm to find the right plays, we spent a lot in the first half. The first twenty minutes were at a high level, then we dropped a bit and could have managed better. We did better in the second half, with the humility to accept their possession to recover a bit deeper and hit on the counterattack.”
CELEBRATION – “Chivu-style celebration at 4-0? I don’t know, what did I do? I don’t remember, the usual, I’m the usual fool. I’m happy for my boys, for what they do every day. I enjoy a fantastic group, this club. I’ve been part of it for many years, except for the three months in Parma that gave me a lot. I came back and I try to give my best with passion and enthusiasm, I try to transmit the same thing to my boys who know well what it means to play for Inter.”
