Chivu: the priority is the players' health, Bisseck has a bruise

Cristian Chivu analyzed the draw against Milan in Perth in statements released to Sky Sport. The coach put the match in the right perspective: it was a friendly played in August, when the physical condition of both teams is not yet optimal. The team tried to express good play, giving everything despite their legs not being at their best.

The coach emphasized what really matters at this stage: the health of the players. The only note of concern regards Bisseck, who suffered a strong blow to the head. For the rest, technical aspects take a back seat compared to the physical condition of the group.

Regarding Pio Esposito and Bonny, Chivu highlighted how they earned their place in the squad: they are Italian champions and represent talented and promising young players, capable of making an important contribution last season.

Asked about the positive signs from Pavard, the coach extended the discussion to all the defenders at his disposal. He mentioned Pavard himself along with Bisseck, Bastoni and Carlos Augusto, pointing out that at the moment he only has four available. All of them are doing a great job and are giving their best. Chivu’s satisfaction concerns the entire department, because he managed to give valuable minutes to each of them.
