“Man is a player who needs to be helped mentally, does not go through an easy time, but it is not simple for anyone in such a situation.
As a team we have nothing to reproach, we see his attitude at training and outside the field. If there were some problems at first, he then understood and fit in the group. We know how important it is, its quality can make the difference in this team, it has shown it today.
It was not easy to do what he did in this situation. It is true that he did not score, but he gave what someone can give him to Parma or even in teams with a coat of arms.
I will defend him until death! Not because we are compatriots, but because it has a lot of quality and this team needs it, especially at this time of the season.
I was glad to see his teammates hugging him and going with him to the lawn, I saw a good reaction from the North Curva. We need man as much as anyone to achieve the goal, “said Cristi Chivu, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
Cristi Chivu revealed that he wanted to start the match with Man holder
Cristi Chivu thought of starting with Dennis Man holder, but he feared a possible negative reaction of the public.
“In my mind, I wanted to play with Man, but I didn't know how the public would react and I didn't want to endanger the group's confidence.
If the stadium hits Man, affects the team. But the audience was wonderful, I didn't trust them. The atmosphere influences the choices, go on, look at what you did and we will look at the next match ”, added the Romanian technician.
We could come to cry here at the conference, but I will never do that. I go forward with my head to the destiny, thinking of my job. I think about what I can control: the team, the game and the choices I make. In football 1+1 does not make 2
