Inter Na's midfielder was not at all happy with Cristi Chivu's decision to replace it in the second half of the match with Cremonese (4-1).
Cristi Chivu replaced Denzel Dumfries early, in the 54th minute of the match, just before the 3-0 goal. On the way to the bank, the Dutchman crushed, not even seen at Dimarco's success, and according to Gazzettea dello Sport, “7 minutes after change,”He hit the ball slightly, made a grimlet of irritation and mumbled as he put his jacket”.
Cristi Chivu: “We shook our hand, after the match, we made a few jokes”
At interviews, at DAZN and then in the press conference, Cristi Chivu was confronted by journalists with the frustration of the Dutch international, and the Romanian technician tried to relax the “in his own way” – writes the quoted publication.
“Yesterday I told him I want upset players. The jokes aside, I don't know if he was upset or not. We shook hands after the match, made a few jokes, then left. Had a bag full of T-shirts from Inter and I asked him what he is doing with them“Said Chivu in the press conference.
Cristi Chivu: “Dumfries can offer more”
Dazn told them: “He's right to be upset. When someone is replaced, he has to be upset throughout the world, who he wants. Denzel is a great man; a punch in the ball means nothing. He is still an important player, for us, for football.
Chivu was also asked if he will follow Juventus – AC Milan this evening. His reply: “I look at NFL, thank you”.
