Only five and a half months have passed since he was appointed as his coach Interbut Christ Chivu he has already made those who did not look kindly on his transfer from Parma change their minds. The last of the challengers is Fulvio Colovatti (68 years old), the former stopper of the Nerazzurri, but also of AC Milan, and world champion with the Italian national team in 1982.
Currently a television analyst at RAI, Fulvio Colovatti won the title and the Italian Cup with Milan (between 1976-1982) and had 50 caps and 3 goals in the Squadra Azzurra. A position from which he expressed a few months ago his doubt that the arrival of Chivu as Simone Inzaghi's successor was not a suitable choice.
“I have to change my mind, I was wrong and I apologize. I made an error because I have a theory. Big teams must be coached by experienced technicians! In today's football, compared to my time, players have other assets and can change the vision of things. Chivu has managed to empathize with the dressing room and the players respect him. I have to congratulate him.”

Colovatti: “Chivu has the best 4 strikers in Serie A!”
The same Colovatti explained what advantages Inter possess in the race for the scudetto: “He has the four best strikers in the championship, Lautaro Martinez, Pio Esposito, Thuram and Bonny”.
But he warned of a clear weakness: “It's a team that concedes a lot of goals. They create 10-15 chances, but they also concede. That's why Inter have to be more careful defensively.”
Asked by the Italians to give a prediction for the Inter – AC Milan derby on Sunday evening (9:45 p.m., livetext on GSP.ro and live on Digi Sport 2 and Prima Sport 2): “Not this time either. I always come out ahead, but now I see a more balanced match.
Inter defeated Lazio, score 2-0, and is the leader in Serie A after the first 11 rounds. Cristi Chivu delighted the fans with the interviews at the end.
Inter have more offensive potential, and for that reason, Milan will be very united, trying not to concede any space.
Another thing to note is that in this derby, the best footballers in our league will be in midfield: Rabiot, Modric and Fofana, on one side, and Barella, Calhanoglu and one of Zielinski and Sucic, on the other, given that Mkhitaryan is injured.”
Chivu has won it all as a player and knows how to deal with young footballers. Inter is not a team for any coach, and Chivu proves that in full
