Chivu has expectations before this match and hopes that the discussions with his students after the debut draw will bear fruit, and Inter looks a lot better and tilting the balance in her favor.
With Monterrey we made a serious match, trying to give our best. We showed our best version at that time, we added reaction and pride. Maybe in the construction of the game I was a little pretentious, I could do better. There are aspects that I talked about and I worked on, so I expect improvements from this point of view and I would like to see more cynicism. We were wrong situations that could ease our match.
For a team that plays every three days, the best training is restoration. So, at the moment, not much can be done, but only punctual requests and trials on things already known. We are talking about mature players, who know what to do and immediately understand our requirements.
