The president also praised the energy and quality of the performance, underlining how the use of players with fewer playing minutes allowed those who had been busier with the national teams to rest.
Among the players who attracted Chivu's attention, PioEsposito was cited for his availability and contribution to the collective game. "He is generous. Selfishness is not part of his vocabulary. He works for the team," said the president, praising his recovery skills and his reactions during the recovery phase. Chivu also mentioned Carlos Augusto, highlighting his physical strength, energy in duels and ability to attack from the line, as well as his long-range shooting with both his right and left foot.
As for FedericoDimarco, Chivu underlined his quick understanding of game situations and his ability to recover the ball while running. “He has fun like this, he crosses, closes in the area, he is good at reacting in the follow-ups,” said the president, highlighting how Dimarco is one of the players who understands what to do on the pitch most quickly.
With this victory, Inter resumes the race towards the Champions League, consolidating its leading position in Serie A. The president closed his speech with thanks to the players for their commitment and anticipated that the team will continue to work to maintain the level of performance shown against Parma.
