MADRID (SPAGNA) (ITALPRESS) – “We have the obligation to write important pages for the history of society, in recent years I would say that the name of this society has arrived at the top, as its standards: we have the obligation to continue.” Cristian Chivu puts the cards on the table on the eve of the season debut in Champions, with Inter waiting from Real Madrid to Bernabeu, where the technician graduated European champion in Nerazzurri in 2010. And to train him there was Josè Mourinho, tomorrow opponent. “For me Josè is a special person who I have had the chance to meet, he has given me an important hand at a delicate moment of my life, I will never forget it. I shared a lot of good times with him. How much is Mourinho in my idea of football? I have never copied someone and never wasted time trying to copy, I have my idea of football built in my years as a player and in the six years of youth industry, where I have experienced things that have served me in these years, since I started the adventure with a first team.” Back to the game, Chivu remembers that “it’s 60 years that Inter won’t win here. Historically so many teams have struggled here, we do not want to disgrace and we want to have courage and personality to be competitive with the desire to be dominant. There is no perfect way to face Real Madrid, which has players making a difference regardless of the race plan.” Looking further, “we are in a situation where many think we can do it, but the Champions is a bastard: you have to have some luck and overcome certain moments. We just want to be competitive and stay up to the competition and what this Society has done in recent years.”.
At the press conference also Captain Lautaro Martinez. “Let’s face a great team with great champions and absolute level – he says – but we also have a high level, every time we prove to be strong, we also demonstrate that we are growing as a group and as a team. What matters is to make the best possible match. We have prepared this match to the best, while having had little time available. We got it right. Mbappè? Surely it is among the best in the world.” And on the Champions adds: “It’s a goal for us. Dreaming, we all dream, but it is not an obsession. This is an important competition, with teams of great value. I always repeat it, it is a goal: in this great club we must always be with the right mind and the desire to bring trophies to Inter”.
