Inter recovered the match against Fiorentina thanks to a last-minute comeback, with MarcusThuram's goal bringing the Nerazzurri to a draw. During the press conference, coach Cristian Chivu paid attention to this young talent, wondering whether his growth is the result of his preparation or the work of Zidane, the club's former coach.
Chivu explained that Thuram only had three weeks of training with the team, plus a week of rest, before entering the field. “I don't know if it's me or Zidane,” he said, underlining how the player has shown leadership in Lautaro's absence, taking responsibility and showing devastating ferocity in decisive moments. The coach highlighted Thuram's ability to enter the area with speed and precision, risking being marked but still managing to score.
The coach then recalled the difficulty encountered in the first half, when Fiorentina was well organised. “It was difficult, but I saw that there was a desire to be naughty,” he added. Chivu explained how the team had to adapt, adding necessary elements and maintaining clarity despite the pressure. “We didn't give up,” he declared, highlighting the importance of never being satisfied.
Thuram's goal brought Inter to a 1-1 draw, but the match remains an example of resilience. The coach reiterated that the team must continue to work on every detail, especially when playing every three days. “Going behind so many times in a row can create some doubts,” he observed, but also underlined that the team has shown that it can resist and recover.
With the draw, Inter remains in the race for the top of Serie A, while Fiorentina remains in a lower position. Inter's next match will be against Milan, where the club will try to consolidate their position in the standings and continue to show the growth of players like MarcusThuram under the guidance of Chivu.
