Cristian Chivu Reignites Poland & German Stars’ Inter Milan Careers After Stuttering Start To The Season | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu has breathed new life into Inter Milan’s squad, helping both Piotr Zielinski and Yann Bisseck rediscover their best form.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, both players have become increasingly vital to Chivu’s tactics.

Piotr Zielinski, who joined Inter from Napoli in 2024, failed to impress in his first season at the San Siro.

However, the 31-year-old has shown flashes of his brilliance in the early stages of Chivu’s regime.

Indeed, the skilled midfielder has started to make a tangible impact, adding composure and creativity to Inter’s midfield.

Zielinski starred in the absence of Hakan Calhanoglu in Sunday’s Serie A victory over Genoa.

Therefore, he will likely fill the Turk’s shoes when Inter take on Bologna in Friday’s Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Bisseck, who opened the scoring at the Marassi, has gone from strength to strength in recent months.

With Francesco Acerbi on the sidelines, Bisseck is likely to be Inter’s center-back in Riyadh.

Despite playing 200 minutes fewer than at this stage last season, the 25-year-old has now become a defensive mainstay.
