MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “ Liverpool is Liverpool, one of the most titrated teams in the world: it has great ambitions every year and won the last Premier”. So Cristian Chivu, Inter coach, Sky Sport microphones, on the eve of the first stage match of the Champions League, at home, against the Reds. “They started the season well, then they had a decline, but they are normal periods. They have players able to understand the moments, to get ready when you raise the level and when the matches that count and tomorrow is a game that counts”, added the Romanian coach. “Salah? I never talk about other teams’ problems. Momo is an important player in the world but it’s no problem for us,” he explained about the Egyptian, who might be the great absent in the match tomorrow evening, given the recent contrasts with company and coach.
Inter arrives from the convincing 4-0 to Como. “The state of shape is given by the game you have to face, not by the last one you have done. Let’s see from a good moment, we have confidence and we’re trying to raise the level. We need continuity, points, things that will allow us to be competitive when we come to the point. Akanji in doubt? We’ll see tomorrow, she wasn’t well today. Who’s playing right? Chivu…”, he said, smiling, finally the coach of the Nerazzurri team.
To echo Marcus Thuram: “Liverpool favorite? You never know in football games. We have great trust. After the injury I healed the best, thanks to the help of the staff, and now I feel in good shape. We know how to play against a team that has great champions: will be a complicated and hard game, this is safe.” “Salah perhaps absent? Liverpool is not just Salah, it has many players who can make a difference. We are at the beginning of a long journey. We’ve improved a lot, but we can improve a lot more. Do you recommend Pio Esposito and Bonny? I can’t give him advice, they’re doing well and they’re giving us a great hand,” added Inter’s forward.
