MILAN (ITALPRESS) – A major Vigil for Inter, waiting from the transfer to the Florentine house at a key moment of the season. Cristian Chivu presented the challenge with a clear message: total concentration, no alibi and the awareness that each game from here to the end will have an important weight. “We’re good at this game, we’re aware of what the race is and we’re ready to face it,” said the Nerazzurri coach in view of the match scheduled tomorrow evening at the Franks.
“Did you say pressure? Calcium is pressure, no one has ever excluded the teams that follow. With the 3 points everything is still possible, we are aware of the ambitions of the other teams, they also think they can be competitive to the bottom.” Chivu then underlined how attention remains focused exclusively on the objectives still to be achieved: “Why is there no euphoria despite the ranking? I’m struggling to understand the question. For us there are 27 points, with the 3 points everything is possible. We think we’re competitive. We have an advantage that can be so much or little, we must continue to think only of ourselves. We must give more continuity to ambitions.”.
Chivu returned to speak after the press silence: “You ask the press office – he said laughing –. It was a decision made all together not to speak for what had happened in the field last Sunday. I’d rather talk about football and not look for alibis or excuses. We made some mistakes against the Atalanta and I refer to technique and tactics. We wondered where to do better, we must not create excuses or alibis and look at the mistakes of others that we cannot control.”.
In the analysis of the team’s time, the coach spoke of a natural physiological decline during a long and challenging season, inviting the group not to lose sight of the route built so far. “Normale have less brilliant moments in a season. But we have to look where we are, we were at +7 and we found ourselves at +8. Then yesterday Naples won. We must find energy, intensity, we must not lose sight of the path. No one gives anything, we have to go and get everything.”.
Finally, a look also to players engaged with their respective nationals and the management of energies in an increasingly dense calendar: “Distraction risk for Nationals? Tomorrow they represent our team, they will have time to represent Italy. Good luck with the national team. But right now, our players only think of Inter. Nationals will have the opportunity to prepare the game at their best. Italy is strong, they must and can win the first that is the most important. Sticks are not available, it will be Italy’s medical staff to evaluate it and decide them. I see our boys well. I see a very mature team, very responsible.”
