Sabatini on Chivu and the double: provocation about the English reinforcements

Sandro Sabatini made controversial statements about last season of Inter and about the new signings. The journalist spoke on his YouTube channel with remarks that did not go unnoticed.

According to Sabatini, Chivu did not perform any miracles in the season that ended with the victory of the scudetto and the Coppa Italia. “He had the strongest team, he did his job, still 11 points ahead of the second place and the blemish of the Champions but there was Inzaghi before who was asking for reinforcements because he thought the cycle was over, the cycle was not over and he won with a pipe in his mouth,” said the journalist.

Sabatini’s reference is also aimed at the requests for reinforcements previously made by Inzaghi, who believed a cycle had ended. The final gap over the runner-up and the double achieved confirmed the clear superiority of the squad.

The second part of the speech was more biting, focusing on the new arrivals. “I’ll make another provocation: if everyone is fit, I don’t know if the three Englishmen would earn a starting spot. Stones better than Akanji? I would have argued until Saturday afternoon when I saw that Varela make fun of Akanji like that,” said Sabatini.

The journalist therefore questioned the starting status of the three Englishmen with a full roster, citing an unconvincing performance by one of the central defenders in a recent match. Sabatini’s words open the debate on the real need for some of the reinforcements brought into the Nerazzurri squad.
