Inter Milan Vs Cremonese: Cristian Chivu Eyeing Chance To Go Top Of Serie A | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu knows the importance of Saturday evening’s match against Cremonese at San Siro.

Victory over Davide Nicola’s side would mark a fifth consecutive win across Serie A and the Champions League and could temporarily take the Nerazzurri to the top of the table.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport notes, via FCInterNews, the Romanian tactician has reached a key moment:

“After weeks of debate about his suitability, Chivu is at a turning point he cannot ignore. If he beats Cremonese, completing the five straight wins he promised, he’ll go to sleep top of the league.”

After a shaky start to the season which saw the Nerazzurri lose to both Juventus and Udinese in their opening three games, Inter have recovered form.

However, Chivu isn’t looking too far ahead.

With trips to Roma and Napoli awaiting after the international break, he insists on taking things one game at a time.

Meanwhile, the paper adds that the Inter coach: “Doesn’t like to bite into the future – he prefers to live it, respecting its timing. Deep down, he’s never doubted himself.”

Chivu’s calm, methodical mindset has helped restore stability at Inter after Simone Inzaghi’s exit.

Therefore, tonight offers a chance to reinforce that growing sense of belief.

Kick-off for Saturday evening’s game against Cremonese is at 18:00 local time.
