MILAN (ITALPRESS) – There is the obligation to think only and exclusively of the Champions League and the competition against the Atletico, but the risk is that the head still returns to the derby on Sunday evening, because two days are few to absorb the blow and pretend nothing. But for Chivu can suffice: “The beauty of football is that there is always a revenge – said the coach Nerazzurri at the conference -. We put quality and determination in the derby, we lacked clarity and luck. Now we have a difficult match in the Champions in the Atletico’s house.”.
“What is missing at Inter in direct confrontations? I take the attitude, maturity and quality I have seen. The desire to be proactive with the ball or without, the growth is evident. We have collected almost nothing in direct confrontations but I am confident. Against Milan we did a solid race and it makes me reflect this defeat. It is not enough to add something more, then we will work to break the tabooo of direct clashes. The team is alive and wants to go up,” Chivu said.
The frustration remains so much (“As Barella said it is better to be taken to poles and lose 3-0 than to end up defeated in a game like ours”), also because the concrete risk is that tomorrow night is a race tactically similar to that of Sunday, against a team that first of all defends and tries to break the rhythm of opponents: “It resembles the challenge against Milan, we will have to be positive and be careful in the preventives. We’ll have to be more incisive in front of the door. Simeon? He always conveys his ideas, 14 years in a club are not a few. I confronted him when he trained Catania, I admired him and I always liked him. In Libya (on the occasion of the friendly dispute in October, ndr) we exchanged two jokes, I hope to make an important career like him”.
Tomorrow evening, however, the only goal will be to give him a sorrow, and Inter knows that he has the right weapons to do so. In attack to drive his will be Lautaro Martinez, whose rabbuiata expression says long about the bitterness that still perceived in the locker room after the defeat against Milan: “We were spending more in the derby but we turned page – said the Argentine centring on the eve -. The Athletic is a valuable opponent, we know how important this game is after Sunday. What changes for me between the championship and the Champions? First it was said that I only scored in the championship and not in the Champions, now they say the opposite. I am quiet with myself, work to give joy to fans. I’m convinced this team is fine and strong. We are ready and we will try to bring the points to Italy because it is very important to do so for us. In this last period we are missing something, this makes us worry a bit because the performance is always there. In difficult times the team comes out, we will have to pay attention to the details that always make the difference in difficult games.”.
