Inter, Chivu calms things down: "We can't waste energy arguing" | OneFootball

Inter comes out defeated from the afternoon clash at Maradona against an excellent Napoli that seems to have already overcome the defeat in the Champions League. In response, Chivu spoke about the nerazzurri and the match in a press conference: “Proud of my boys, but we lost clarity. We can't waste energy arguing. I want to talk about football, about the good things our boys did to stay in the game. We hit the post twice, we went behind despite a good reaction, and in the second half, we lost a bit of balance, conceding the 2-0. However, we managed to reopen it with the penalty. After wasting energy arguing with their bench, we couldn't regain the clarity to turn the game around.”

On the lack of composure shown in key moments, the nerazzurro coach was clear: “It was a waste of energy thrown to the wind. We needed to stay clear-headed. On the second goal, we were caught off guard by a ball thrown in by Spinazzola, then we reacted late, and the third goal was the consequence of that loss of concentration. That's what I'm doing, I'm proud of these guys, and I'm even more confident. I saw a great first half, we managed to be dominant, coming here to play our game. Unfortunately, that's football, and maybe we lacked something.”

Finally, a reflection on the nervousness that emerged during the match: “I don't know what happened and, honestly, I don't care. But I will talk to them because we can't throw away the good things we've done to argue with the opposing bench. We need to think about who we are and where we want to go.”
