Inter: Chivu on Thuram’s fitness and keeper pick for Roma | OneFootball

The press conference of Christian Chivu, the Nerazzurri coach, has just concluded, ahead of the match against Roma on Saturday evening at 20:45 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Inter, how Thuram's recovery is progressing: The form of Pio Esposito and his experience with Gasperini

The Romanian coach spoke about his relationship with Gasp: “The experience with Gasperini was brief, but I had a good impression. I also had confirmation in what he continued to do for the innovation he brought to Bergamo. At a certain point, we were inspired, we understood that it is something feasible for Italian football. He enjoys all my esteem and admiration, just as he did when he was my coach. I had undergone preparation like I hadn't experienced in many years. He tried to change the formation, I would have been his left arm: we had fun, unfortunately, the results did not come. He was dismissed early, but then he proved his worth and his ideas. I am happy because he has become a coach who has inspired many young people.”

On Thuram and the other unavailable players: “When will Thuram return? I don't know. The players have returned well without problems: the only ones are Darmian and Di Gennaro. Thuram has not yet resumed, he will soon start reconditioning because he is better, he has already started running: we hope to have him back soon. Who plays with Lautaro? Who said Lautaro is playing (laughs, ed.)? We have three forwards, we'll see tomorrow who will play.”

On the goalkeeper: “Is Sommer playing? Yes.”

Finally, he gave his opinion on the current media attention on Francesco Pio Esposito: “Exaggerated hype? I have an idea, I talk to him because it seems right to give him some advice. We must be aware that he is a player for Inter and the national team, pressure is part of the game. It is annoying when people start speculating with comparisons that make no sense. He has shown that even at 20 years old he knows how to handle himself and the situation. He must adapt to the demands of the club and international football, he is an international player. He is an important profile, appreciated and admired everywhere. We must not forget that he is a young boy, his life changed in two months. It was what he wanted, he stepped onto the stage, he must dance, he must learn to stay and also to accept mistakes. The most important thing is that he still has room for improvement.”
