Cristian Chivu concluded the press conference after Inter's 2‑1 comeback against Fiorentina at the San Siro, underlining that the team can never be satisfied and that patience is essential.
The match, played on 25 October, was saved thanks to a goal from Lavelli in the second half, who demonstrated that he is an attacker ready to contribute when needed. Chivu praised the team's mentality, saying that, despite the initial difficulty, the players managed to maintain clarity and not give in to pressure. He also recognized the importance of giving space to players like Lavelli, who, according to him, can still grow but is already a valuable element on the pitch.
In his match report, Chivu highlighted the role of Thuram, who showed leadership and ability to finish in the area. The goalkeeper stressed that although he is not a penalty taker, he is ready to contribute when necessary. The coach also mentioned the difficulty facing Fiorentina, who showed good organization and a certain tactical "badness", but reiterated that Inter managed to maintain control thanks to their discipline.
As for Lavelli's prospect, Chivu said his presence in the box was a strategic choice to fill a lack of attackers in the area. He added that Lavelli must continue to work hard to consolidate his place in the team and that his growth is essential for the entire group. The coach also underlined that, although the team has an already formed group, it is important that the new arrivals integrate quickly and are ready to exploit opportunities when they arise.
Finally, Chivu asked to let Lavelli work in peace, without excessive pressure, to allow him to develop his potential. With the victory against Fiorentina, Inter responds to Lazio's success and prepares to continue the race for the title, with the hope of maintaining the concentration and determination that led to the comeback.
