Inter Milan Midfielder Reveals Desire ‘To Play More’ & Explains How ‘Chivu Helps Me Improve’ After Win At Pisa | OneFootball

Andy Diouf highlighted both his ambition and his progress under Cristian Chivu after Inter’s 2–0 victory away to Pisa.

The Frenchman spoke to DAZN shortly after full time at the Arena Garibaldi, with quotes via FCInterNews.

The midfielder came off the bench and immediately injected energy into the Nerazzurri display as Lautaro Martinez’s brace secured the points.

Diouf admitted he is pleased with the rhythm he is finding this season but made it clear that his target is to continue earning more minutes.

“I’m happy because I’m playing a lot and increasing my minutes, even if I always want to play more,” he said.

“I’m really happy, I have to keep pushing. Chivu helps me a lot and talks to me a lot to help me improve.”

The Frenchman also underlined that his integration into the squad has accelerated after a difficult start.

He joined Inter late in the summer and needed time to build fitness and familiarity with Chivu’s system.

Looking ahead to the rest of the campaign, Diouf kept his goals measured but firm. “Step by step, I want to play more and more,” he added.

“At the beginning it wasn’t easy because I didn’t do pre-season with the team, but now I’m finding more and more space.”

Inter’s midfield depth has been a storyline all season, and Diouf’s continued growth offers Chivu another valuable option as the fixtures intensify.
