Supercoppa Italiana Taboo – Cristian Chivu Must Defy Two Negative Trends To Clinch First Managerial Title | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu has set his sights on winning his first Supercoppa Italiana title as coach.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old must buck two negative trends to achieve that goal.

The Nerazzurri will face Bologna in a handsomely-looking semi-final tie tomorrow night.

Despite Inter’s pre-match favoritism, they cannot take the Rossoblu lightly, especially after a 1-0 defeat in their last meeting in April.

Ominously, that result forms part of Inter’s underwhelming run of only one win from their last six clashes against Vincenzo Italiano’s side.

Beating Bologna is only the first step.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri would face either AC Milan or Napoli in the title-deciding fixture.

However, Chivu’s charges have underperformed in almost every high-stakes match this season.

Except for a 1-0 win at Roma, they’ve lost all five remaining games against elite clubs.

Furthermore, Milan and Napoli have already beaten Inter this season in Serie A, highlighting the size of the task awaiting Chivu’s team.
