Cristiano Chivu declared after the victory against Parma that Inter played "a serious match" and immediately "got into their part" on the pitch, highlighting the importance of maintaining pressure and improving the management of set pieces. The Nerazzurri coach reiterated that, after a three-week break, the team has shown that it is ready to compete at high levels, especially in terms of aggression and verticality.
In his speech to Inter TV, Chivu underlined that the match was crucial to test the ability to defend against low blocks and rapid transition. “We have always worked on pressure, but also on the possibility of recovering the ball at lower levels when possible,” he explained. The coach also pointed out that Inter tend to score less from set pieces compared to the previous year and that the group intends to focus on this aspect to obtain better results.
The result against Parma, with a marked numerical and tactical superiority, confirmed the solidity of the team in the defensive phase. Chivu expressed satisfaction with the performance, but also asked for attention to set pieces, where Inter showed a slight regression. “We will certainly also try to work on this aspect of set pieces where we are a little further behind than last year,” he added.
Furthermore, Chivu expressed confidence in key players, such as Gila, and praised Cuesta's performance, stating that the same level of commitment will be repeated with other members of the team. The coach asked the fans to enjoy the match and continue to support the team, remembering that Inter still have a week of work before the next match.
With the victory against Parma, Inter consolidates its position in the standings and is preparing to continue with the same intensity in the next matches. The coach indicated that the team will continue to work on pressure, transition and precision in set pieces, with the aim of maintaining competitiveness in Serie A and aiming for the title.
