After defeating Juventus 4-3, Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu expressed frustration with his players in a private confrontation. He criticized their lack of concentration and intensity, pointing out that this defeat marks the worst start of the season in Serie A for the club in 14 years. This puts pressure on Chivu, although it is still too early to assess his future. The team must now focus on the present and on improving its performance, particularly in terms of concentration and rhythm of play.
In view of the next Champions League match against Ajax, Stefan de Vrij could be titularized. This opportunity is motivated by the fatigue of Marco Acerbi, who was particularly solicited during the match against the Juventus. De Vrij, who hasn’t had much time this season, could thus strengthen Inter Milan’s defence alongside Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni. Chivu will have to find a way to trust him and gradually integrate him into the team.
Daniele Adani, a leader of Inter Milan, said Cristian Chivu was not responsible for the summer transfer choices. He pointed out that Chivu had taken over a team whose new recruits had already been selected, and that it was important to give him time to adapt and make his own choices. Adani insists that Chivu must work with the players and motivate them, and that the club must trust him to stabilize the team. It is crucial not to blame him for past mistakes and to give him the opportunity to build his own project.
