Coach Cristian Chivu spoke to the press the day before the league match against Bologna, but he mainly focused on the result of the Champions League match against Club Brugge. Inter were defeated 2-1 at home, a performance that left the club with many questions.
Chivu stressed that despite having suffered a disappointing defeat, there was no need to create drama. He explained that the team had a two-day rest period after the European match and that all the players trained together to regain their fitness. He also mentioned an issue relating to Lautaro, which was discovered post-match.
Regarding the team's mood, Chivu stated that the Inter fans accepted their responsibilities and recognized the parts that didn't work, without forgetting the positive aspects achieved up until the 2-1 goal. He recalled that Inter entered the second half with the right mentality, had two opportunities and then the "castle" collapsed with the opponent's second goal. He reiterated that the team must react and that no one expects an easy victory.
Regarding the defeat, Chivu said there was no need to exaggerate. He recognized that Club Brugge was good at putting the team in difficulty, but also highlighted that Inter fell and was unable to react. He underlined that, despite the confusion, the team is aware of its strength and important expectations, especially in the Champions League.
The interview ends with an invitation not to forget the positive points and to prepare for the next challenges, both in the championship and in European competition. Chivu hinted that Inter, despite having suffered a negative result, will continue to work to improve and achieve their objectives.
