Chivu prepares for Inter-Juve: more playing time for those who have played less

Today at 1 PM at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Inter–Juve will be played. After the 1-1 draw against Milan, the Nerazzurri will face another important test before returning to Italy. On the eve of the match, Cristian Chivu tested two different lineups, but according to Tuttosport, the intention is to give more minutes to those who spent more time on the bench during the derby with the Rossoneri.

The coach expects concrete answers from the offensive department. Excluding the friendly against the German amateurs of Aasen, Inter’s strikers have never managed to score in the three higher-level friendlies. Against Karlsruhe, Diouf scored, while in the match with Manchester City in Hong Kong and in Wednesday’s derby, Pavard and Dimarco scored respectively.

It is not certain that Bonny will start, but he should still come on during the match. Expectations are also high for Pio Esposito, although the striker, given his massive build, needs more time to reach optimal condition. Lautaro and Thuram will be in Appiano tomorrow, but it is unlikely they will start on August 22 at San Siro against Monza.
