Chivu denies retirement rumours, Inter stay at Appiano to prepare for Como | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu, coach of Inter, has decided, in anticipation of tomorrow's match against Como, to spend the entire night at the sports center with the rest of the team. This is an unusual choice considering the firm stance that the Romanian coach himself had taken on the usefulness of team retreats on the eve of the derby with Milan.

Chivu contradicts… Chivu: first no to the retreat, now Inter stays at Appiano to prepare for Como

“The retreat doesn’t guarantee me a victory. It’s not the retreat that provides me with emotional tranquility. My choice is to give more free time with families since we play a lot and have a crowded championship. Then I also talk about the responsibility of the boys and the group who rest at home as if they were in a retreat. My choice doesn’t mean I’m right. I certainly don’t want to comfort my conscience. I’m fine with this, I need to create mental comfort for the boys.”

Cristian Chivu, Inter's coach, stated this two weeks ago, on the eve of the derby with Milan. Today, however, the Romanian coach has decided to contradict himself, opting for a strategic retreat after a short time. The Nerazzurri, after their usual training, will stay the whole night at Appiano Gentile. Why this choice? Cristian Chivu doesn’t want to be unprepared against a Como that is in top form, considered today as a real thorn in the side for all the big teams in our championship. The Como team has only one defeat among Bologna, Lazio, Atalanta, Juve, and Napoli, and has gained 8 points. Tomorrow's challenge is set to be a no-holds-barred battle, and it will be decisive which of the two coaches has prepared better.
