Andrea Stramaccioni, former coach at Inter U19 and on the first team of Nerazzurrs, like Cristi Chivu, made some recommendations for his future at the vice -champion of Europe. The current analyst and collaborator of Gazzettea Dello Sport gives him hope that he can fight on a par with Naples for Logdetto, but warns him that he has weaknesses that need to be resolved.
The 49 -year -old coach, former 28 matches in Inter Primavera lui Inter and 65 Senior matches (March 2012 – June 2013), took Chivu's new team's new team, evaluating the strengths and defects noted in this season.
In a discussion plubified by Gazzetta dello Sport with the one who currently has the role of “talent” at Dazn, Stramaccioni said that “we are only in the fourth stage. Inter has the quality to recover the handicap, and Napoli has returned to European competitions this season.

Andrea Stramaccioni: “Inter has done four good matches, creating many opportunities for emptiness, but also receiving too much”
A situation that risks affecting their course in the championship. However, this season, the battle does not seem to be limited to these two teams. Inter has done four good matches, constantly creating many goals, but also receiving too much.
Nerazzurii are now in the first place in Serie A about the number of goals collected in relation to the opponents' attack actions. In other words, I get goals with ease that require quick resolution.
One of the features that Chivu is trying to convey is the advanced press: Calhanoglu's position, right in front of the opposing player, is an example. Inzaghi used to do this, but only occasionally. In this way, you tend to expose yourself to a slightly higher risk. To regain first place, Inter has to rediscover that ferocity in preventive marking and duels

Andrea Stramaccioni: “Count is the worst possible opponent, in terms of experience, charisma and leadership”
Asked in the equation of Chivu Vs Conte, innovation vs certainty, what factor will be decisive in the title race, Stramaccacii replied: “The leader is always decisive. We can say that Chivu has in Antonio the worst possible opponent, in terms of experience, charisma and leadership.
But be careful: not to forget Allegri and his Milan, without trophies and free to work and have fresher players, as Napoli did last season.
And I was impressed by the empathy that Gasperini created with AS Roma, besides the consolidated one from the end of last season and obvious in this start of Tudor in Juventus. ”
It is not the time for Chivu to look at the ranking or at the program, but to think match with the match. Inter will have to be a greater defensive safety in the punishment surface, as Acerbi and his colleagues in the past with Inzaghi

Stramaccioni: “Chivu has already entered the minds of the players and had clear ideas from the beginning, confirming the Inter system”
Prayed to make a parallel between his path from U19 to Inter seniors, Stramaccioni sent to Chivu: “Cristian does not need my advice, because he is young, but he has experience as an international footballer.
It has already entered the minds of the players and had clear ideas from the beginning: the confirmation of the system and the work on the old problems that Inter has felt.
He tries to improve and interweave the performance and qualities of the team with his ideas, but without revolutions or proclamations, and I like that. ”
