Inter Milan Need Cristian Chivu’s Psychological Woodoo To Overcome Derby Heartbreak | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu is keen to restore a feel-good factor at San Siro following a disappointing defeat in the Milan derby.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is facing a challenge much like the one he encountered at the start of his tenure.

Cristian Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi at the helm last summer, only a month after Inter’s humiliating loss in the Champions League final.

Indeed, the former Parma boss found a side bereft of confidence.

However, he managed to gradually rebuild the team’s morale and cohesion, guiding the Nerazzurri back to the top of Serie A.

Cristian Chivu Must Rebuild Inter Milan Morale After Derby Fiasco

With ten league matches left to go, Inter boast a seven-point lead over AC Milan.

Despite their handsome advantage, Chivu fears the loss in Sunday’s derby could derail Inter’s spirits heading into the season finale.

Therefore, he seems determined to lift the squad’s confidence quickly, ensuring that the team approaches the remaining fixtures with focus.

Furthermore, Inter should receive a double injury boost ahead of Saturday’s clash against Atalanta.

Indeed, Marcus Thuram and Alessandro Bastoni will reportedly be in contention for the squad next weekend.
