Fiorentina 1-1 Inter Milan – Cristian Chivu’s Assistant Admits: “It’s Not Our Best Moment” | OneFootball

Aleksandar Kolarov admitted that Inter Milan are not at their best after a gut-wrenching 1-1 draw at Fiorentina last night.

During the post-match conference via FCInterNews, he assessed Inter’s recent downturn.

AC Milan’s home win over Torino last night heightened the pressure on the Nerazzurri to find a way out of the recent crisis.

Meanwhile, Inter had hoped to bounce back from a controversial 1-1 draw against Atalanta last weekend.

That result came a week after the Rossoneri claimed bragging rights in the Milan derby to keep the Scudetto race alive.

Indeed, the visitors were at risk of going three consecutive league games without a win for the first time since 2023.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu had to watch the game from the sidelines due to suspension.

Nevertheless, Inter enjoyed a dream start to the game. It took less than 40 seconds for Francesco Pio Esposito to put Serie A leaders in front.

However, Inter’s decision to sit back and defend a narrow lead backfired in the 77th minute, when Cher Ndour drew Fiorentina level.

Aleksandar Kolarov Makes Honest Admission After Fiorentina 1-1 Inter Milan Draw

“If you include the Coppa Italia, it’s four, but in the league it’s three,” Kolarov commented on Inter’s ongoing winless streak. “The team started well and finished well, we just lacked in the middle phase.

“Fiorentina reacted well after going behind. It’s never easy to come here and play – the result is fair. We’re still six points clear, and it’s all in our hands.

“We’ll try to improve the things we didn’t do well. You – and we – are used to seeing Inter win while playing well, but we’re not going through our best moment. For you, everything seems expected…

“A dip in form can happen; others have had it too. We’re optimistic, we know where we need to improve, and we’ll keep going on our path.

“We could’ve killed the game in those 10 minutes, I completely agree. Maybe we became a bit too cautious, which isn’t in our DNA. We’ll try to improve in that aspect.”
