It was an important success for Cristi Chivu's team, which returned to the podium after losing the previous stage in Naples.
With two goals, a shot from outside the box and a penalty, the Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu was named the MVP of the game. He credited Chivu for the team's good form (8 wins in the last 9 games).
Hakan Calhanoglu, the man of the match Inter – Fiorentina: “Thanks to Chivu, who comes with something extra”
“Everyone who plays at Inter knows that the club's goals are great, so we want to fight for them, because the team deserves it, especially since it was a bit difficult for us at the beginning, after the Club World Championship.
But we recovered very well, with the coach helping us a lot. We are very strong mentally. He didn't instill in us who knows what motivation, but the discipline to stay motivated,” the Turk told Sky.
Later, in the interview with DAZN, he was asked about the recent failure with Napoli. “We put everything aside and today we had a great performance thanks to Chivu, who comes with something extra, mentality, strength and the ambition to win the game.”
Yann Bisseck: “With Chivu we also talk about things unrelated to football”
Defender Yann Bisseck also spoke admiringly about Chivu, who marked only his second appearance in this championship today.
“I always want to play, even as a goalkeeper, I don't care if I'm third or fifth,” the German said.
Asked if the Romanian treats him more like a colleague than a coach, Bisseck said:
“No, no, it's the trainer. We can't say that. But it's very hot and outside the field, we also talk about things not related to football. He is doing a great job, if we implement his directions we will have a great season“.
“I can't say that on TV“, concluded Bisseck, when he was asked what are the export topics addressed with Chivu.
