Cristian Chivu Must Address Three Major Issues To Bolster Inter Milan’s Scudetto Chances | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu looks determined to win the Scudetto in his first season in charge of the 20-time Serie A champions.

According to Corriere della Sera via FCinterNews, the 45-year-old must address three major issues to strengthen his side’s grip on the domestic championship.

Despite their underwhelming Champions League form, the Nerazzurri are in pole position to dethrone Napoli this season.

Indeed, they have opened up a three-point gap to second-placed AC Milan on the back of an outstanding nine-game unbeaten league run.

Intensity is reportedly the primary issue. With Inter facing battles on multiple fronts, there’s an increased risk of fatigue and injuries.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu and his staff must overcome this obstacle.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez has developed a nasty habit of underperforming in high-stakes fixtures.

Despite emerging as Serie A’s top scorer this term, El Toro has yet to score against a top team in any competition.

Finally, Yann Sommer has been a shadow of the goalkeeper who inspired Inter to the Champions League final last season.

Perhaps Chivu might consider benching the Swiss veteran in favor of Josep Martinez.
