Of the Italian publications that gave ratings immediately after Inter's match, Calcio Mercato saw Chivu the worst, awarding 5.5. “Zielinski shouldn't have been taken out of the match so early”the Italians wrote about the Romanian's decision to replace the Polish midfielder in the 55th minute.
“Coach Cristian Chivu, 6 – This time the rotation pays off to a degree. Inter start in the best possible way but then fail to find a solution after Giovane's brilliance.
Inter strives in the second half, but with some frenzy: in the end, luck is on their side” wrote Tutto Mercato, who awarded Chivu note 6.
“Chivu 6.5 – He trusts the team and changes it without hesitation. Zielinski and Luis Henrique come in, Bisseck stays on the pitch, De Vrij and Acerbi stay on the bench.
In the end, he is rewarded after his worst game of the year, but you can't always be brilliant. He did well to correct the team immediately in the second half without waiting too long. Rewarded”, wrote fcinter1908.it about Chivu, to whom he gave grade 6.5.
