Inter, Chivu: “I want everyone involved, lucky to coach this squad” | OneFootball

At the end of the match between Inter and Lazio, which ended 2-0 in favor of the Nerazzurri, the home team’s coach, Christian Chivu, spoke at the usual post-match press conference.

Inter, Chivu at the press conference: “I want to involve everyone, I’m lucky to coach this group”

These were the words of the Romanian coach at the press conference: “I liked our approach tonight, aware of the fact that we were facing a well-coached team that could have caused us trouble at any moment. We played a good match. I care a lot about the group; they are all guys who work hard to improve. It’s never easy, because sometimes with changes you can lose balance, but I’m satisfied with what they’re doing: they immediately adapted to the situation, they’re doing well and are aware that they all have room for improvement.”

“It’s not easy to maintain this attitude when you play every three days; the credit goes to those who always show something in the rotations, also allowing others to gain a few extra days of rest. Today was the 7th match in 18-19 days, it wasn’t easy, but I’m dealing with champions who, despite the fatigue, always do everything to meet the coach’s demands. We must give credit to our opponent; Lazio is a great, well-coached team. Our approach to the standings was excellent. There was a desire to be dominant. We’ll enjoy the break and wish good luck to those playing for their national teams. We hope that Italy can also make its mark and keep up the momentum.”

“This is something we’ve been working on since the start of the season. You always need that mental switch from possession to non-possession. It was more a mental issue than an organizational one. Today we tried to add something extra. We broke the deadlock and managed the moments, always maintaining aggressiveness and trying to win the ball back. Maybe even by sitting a bit deeper. I want to involve everyone and there are no hierarchies. Everyone must feel like a starter, and if I don’t show them that I believe in them, it’s pointless to later ask them to perform well. The group understands this and appreciates it, also because I try to be honest. I keep the human side in mind since they train well. What matters to me is that everyone is involved. I’m lucky.”
