France Midfielder Improving Under Cristian Chivu At Inter Milan After Difficult Start To Serie A Life | OneFootball

Andy Diouf is beginning to find his rhythm at Inter Milan after a challenging introduction to life in Serie A.

The French midfielder has made the most of the chances recently handed to him by coach Cristian Chivu, as noted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

He found the net against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

And then again versus Torino in the Coppa Italia, offering a glimpse of his attacking potential from midfield.

Diouf has scored three goals in 14 appearances this season, averaging one every 115 minutes.

Those numbers highlight his growing efficiency and underline the progress he has made since arriving from Lens.

Off the pitch, he has also settled into life in Milan. Diouf lives in the city centre and regularly welcomes visits from his parents, a stability that appears to be helping his adaptation.

Chivu has repeatedly shown faith in the youngster, even during spells when minutes were limited or when he might have expected only brief cameos.

He struggled in his first few games but the Romanian coach has underlined his belief in the Frenchman.

That backing has paid off, with Diouf responding through improved performances and a visible rise in confidence.

At Inter, there is now a sense that the early adjustment period is behind him. With trust from his coach and growing self-belief, Diouf looks ready to play a more consistent role in the months ahead.
