Cristi Chivu's statements before the match with Ajax
“I said, I am grateful for everything I lived in this club, in this city and in this country. I spent 4 years of life that were important to me. I was a teenager when I arrived here and left a man.
I was proud of what I did here. I always wanted to represent the club best possible. The choice I made and my options to grow as a player and as a person were in another country. I had to leave Ajax and this country.
Ajax has always remained in my heart and in mind because what I have now reached for almost 45 years, was the foundation of what I am as a person now. I want to thank this country for making me a better person and a better athlete, “said Cristi Chivu, at the press conference.
I have never talked about this (no- about Sommer's passing on the bench). I don't think it's right to throw stones in Sommer. He is an important player, showed her last year and, from a human point of view, I don't think it would be right.
I have a great respect for Pepo Martinez and everyone knows that he will have his chances. But now I don't think to change Sommer, just because fans ask for this. A difficulty player must be helped. With his experience, he also knows he can help us
We all know what a defeat means in Italy's derby, but we must also look at the positive aspects, such as the effort made, as happened to Turin and Udinese.
I think we are about to build on the good things we have seen and we want to see them continuing. We are about to increase the morale of this team trying to get out of this situation. It all comes down to results
