Cristi Chivu (44 years old), the coach of Inter, prefaced the match with Sassuolo, from the 4th stage of Serie A during a press conference, and announced the return of Lautaro Martinez (28 years), a player who had physical problems, but who has recovered and can enter his plans.
The success from Amsterdam, from the Champions League, score 2-0, again brought peace after the two defeats with Udinese and Juventus. The news is also good in terms of Captain Lautaro, who resumed the training with the group.
Chivu, optimistic before the match with Sassuolo
“Lautaro trained and made available to the team,” Chivu began the conference, “as, in fact, he did on Wednesday. A captain has to do this, to understand the difficult times, And Lautaro never goes back: Wednesday could barely go, but he was made available and I'm sure if I needed it, he would have entered the field.
These days he has done therapy and is now available. If he will play tomorrow? If Josep Martinez will play instead of Sommer? Let's say so: a Martinez will play. ”
The word game leaves behind a mystery, although the goalkeeper is the great favorite to be a holder, according to Gazzetta.it.
“Esposito is a boy with qualities and a lot of performance. He knows where he is and I like the way they come to workouts daily. So do his compartment colleagues, I am glad to have such players. He won his place without me influencing the decisions.
Chivu: “The noise of the enemies is part of the game”
“The noise of the enemies is part of the game, but it is often forgotten that this is a team that had an incredible season last year and which the whole world was talking about,” added Inter technician, then promised that in the future they will have a chance and those who have played less so far.
“Luis Henrique and Diouf? We will have the opportunity to see them. The matches we have played so far have not allowed us, by the way they were held, to introduce them on the field, but they also have their merits and, sooner or later, they will play. Chivu said.
