Chivu has the mission to recover on Inter in a very short time after the failure without the right of appeal from the Champions League final, score 0-5.
“I will send ambition and passion to the team. We want to try to win the World Club Championship”was one of the first ideas Chivu said when it was presented at Inter. “It is necessary for us all, to believe, to be enthusiastic for a season that has not yet ended and to look with great positivity to the next one,” the Romanian added.
On paper, if we bet, everyone will bet on Inter, obviously, because of what represents in European football, because I am a giant of European football. But I am convinced that we will have our chances too. As a coach, I have to tell my players that we will be at stake.
We are in a very important competition, with top European teams. That's why we are at the World Club Championship. We have two options: either we travel to play our chance, or we stay at home to train. We choose to travel and play the chance
