Inter returns to San Siro for the Champions League, ready to challenge Club Brugge tomorrow evening. After the championship victory against Parma, Massimiliano Allegri's team is preparing for a new European appointment, while president Cristian Chivu held a press conference to give his point of view on the future of the club and the upcoming matches.
In his speech, Chivu reiterated the importance of maintaining the vision and courage to "dream" without forgetting the daily work. He underlined that the club must pursue ambitious objectives, but also that there are no guarantees of success: "There is no money to guarantee such an important trophy, there are no players or coaches who can provide certainty", he stated, inviting everyone not to lose sight of the path necessary to achieve great goals.
As for the squad, Chivu confirmed that "some changes will be made". He praised Calha, who returned healthy after the Parma match, and spoke positively of Spence, who is regaining his form with a week of training plus 25 minutes on Saturday. He also highlighted the importance of Bastoni, who had to face difficulties both in the league and in the national team, recalling that his value is recognized and that the team must take care of its players. “Ale is an important heritage,” he added.
Regarding the team's performance, Chivu expressed confidence in the maturity achieved by the group. He stated that Inter is ready to play with responsibility, determination and, at the same time, with a desire to have fun. He acknowledged that there is always room for improvement, but reiterated that the club is of the highest level and that internal competition raises the value of training and ambitions. “An important club must make these considerations and build a squad like ours,” he concluded.
Finally, Chivu illustrated his vision for the Champions League, underlining that Inter will take the matches "game by game". He highlighted the importance of adapting the strategy according to the opponent and maintaining the club's identity. He also spoke about the importance of the five changes and the energy needed to face a long and challenging season. With these words, the president closed the conference, leaving the public with the expectation of a season full of challenges and possibilities for growth.
