The former coach of FCSB and Dinamo emphasizes that Chivu's lack of experience in high level competitions could be a “negative point”.
“My only question mark is that you will also have to participate in the Champions League, a competition in which Inter has been a protagonist in recent years.
Managing the season in the context of these important matches is a question mark, because at Inter you have to fight for any trophy.
I would have said the same about Fabregas, except it's different. Fabregas has a different style of managing this, because he has played more than Chivu abroad and has a much lighter mentality.
This would be the only negative point I find to Chivu, ”said Walter Zenga, quoted by Fincter1908.it.
