Chivu Considering Tactical Revolution At Inter Milan With Back Four & New Profiles Under Study | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu is reportedly exploring significant tactical changes for Inter Milan’s future, as the coach looks to refine his system and prepare for a new phase of evolution.

Indeed, a move designed to improve Inter’s coverage and versatility across the pitch.

Francesco Acerbi will marshal the defence in Sunday’s Serie A clash with Lazio.

However, the newspaper claims Chivu and his staff are already studying long-term adjustments that could see Inter line up in a 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-1-2 formation.

Oumar Solet and Joel Ordonez have been on Inter’s radar for several months, and their athletic qualities make them ideal for a higher defensive line.

The tactical rethink also extends to the attacking end.

Chivu reportedly wants a forward with pace and dynamism, reminiscent of Ademola Lookman, whom Inter explored last summer.

For now, though, Chivu’s focus remains on the immediate challenge.

The Lazio clash at San Siro could see Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez reunited in attack from the first minute.

Indeed, as Inter look to rediscover fluency and assert control before the international break.

Chivu’s long-term tactical vision, however, points to a deeper transformation.

One that could shape Inter’s next phase both in Serie A and in Europe.
