crystal Chivu Lost yesterday the first derby d'Italy as a coach in the style in which Inter He used to give up in recent months under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi. The old habits, referring to the Romanian technician after the first Nerazzurro failure, deprived of the vice-champions of Europe on a great result on Allianz Stadium.
Even though Chivu was upset when he spoke in front of the same obsessive question related to the Champions League final, his students remembered the defensive disaster on the homonym of Munich. Sure, Juventus cannot be compared with PSGbut what I have seen has happened in the last 10 minutes in Turin seems to be the reminiscence of the Bavarian trauma of a band that has changed its hair, but not the navy.
Watering with Udinese na accident but the old weather
I said that the failure on Giuseppe Meazza with Udinese was the accident meant to descend with their feet on the ground on the pleasitors who already dreamed of Scudetto. But if again Inter leads and was turned, last night after leaving the impression that, returning from 1-2, he has the situation under control, I do not think we can only talk about an unfortunate situation.

When the defensive that, not more than last season, was the strongest in the group of Champions League, raises four goals in so many dodged executions (three of them being with Sommer's wide contest), no discussion fits. As a former defender, not fate, but the component of Mourinho's triple band, Chivu can't be dodge and declare that Inter has played excellent!
The more frequent dodges at the press conferences, when the questions are giving it and reach hidden scars or wounds, no longer have the effect produced in the times when the helmet was not afraid of anyone and nothing. In four seasons and 141 matches with Simone Inzaghi, inter received only twice over 3 goals: 3-5 with Atletico and 0-5 with PSG, both in the Champions League!
At the first derby, younger Stramaccioni wins by 3-1
To say that “we cannot forget what we have done today and that in the last 20 years inter -na had such a benefit here” is absolutely moved, even false. It is sufficient to remind him of the 2012-2013 season, when he still stepped in the grass in the Nerazzurro shirt, that having a coach Andrea Stramaccioni, 8 years younger than Cristi, the Lombard team Teach a football lesson in the old lady's house (3-1).

Victoria was done fixed at the first derby of the coach who had also made the apprenticeship at Inter U19. And let's not forget what defense then Juventus had, with the famous BBC wall in front of Buffon!
Of course we can go further with the comparisons. That, in the first series experience as a coach, Chivu lost the first match with Udinese in the second stage since the installation at Parma, but in April he was under the shield in the fight with Tudor. As since then, with a band incomparable in value to that of Inter and trembling at the thought of series B, Chivu was able to defend a minimum advantage, and on Saturday he was totally inexplicable in the end?
In order to have the game and the results under control, Chivu will have to urgently discover the mental figure of inter!
A plausible reason is related to the fact that, although it has almost 100 days since it was brought to Inter for lack of solutions – because Cec Fabregas has refused and no one else has been put – Cristi no managed to enter the minds of his students. In the locker room Nerazzurro also haunts the ghosts of the “Inzaghi era” and the Romanian trainer needs time to decide in what Lutrei he rushes.

But it must show coherence in the ideas it exposes in the locker room and in public, to be consistent in preaching meritocracy. Only Cristi now goes to two headsas he began to realize that the acquisitions, brought before his appointment (Sucic and Luis Henrique) or to his wish (Bonny and Akanji), do not integrate today and there are only reserve solutions. Who did not bring any plus with Juventus.
The fact that Inter has minus six points to the leader after three rounds and the weakest championship start in the last quarter -century It is already a black ball for Chivu, even if the game of nerazzuri, as sinusoidal as it is, has good parts and periods.
The problem is that at a regular club with titles and played two league finals with Inzaghi, time does not have much patience. It would not be surprising if Cristi would have, at the end of the last century, Mircea Lucescu, brought as a substitute until Marcello Lippi's hiring. And in the near future we will wake up to return to Inter (it's only a assumption) Mourinho, just kicked out of Fenerbahce!
