Inter, put in a meeting by the Inter bosses after the defeat to Atletico Madrid
Cristian Chivu had a discussion with the Milan bosses after the second defeat in a row. Inter lost in the last stage of Serie A against AC Milan, score 1-0, and now they were defeated in Madrid by Atletico, score 2-1. When he left the meeting, at the Digi Sport microphone, Cristi Chivu said:
“Another lost game, unfortunately. From the performance point of view, in many moments of the match we succeeded. In the last minutes we fell physically. We chose to defend ourselves lower, to try the counterattack card. In a phase where we had the ball, we lost it and that corner was born from which we scored.
It's been so many years since I played with them as a player. It has grown in terms of quality and what it shows in the European cups. They played finals, won the Europa League. They have a coach of 14 years who has maintained their standard and crest. It's a tough stadium. We felt it on our skin tonight. We come out defeated, but we move on. There are three more matches. We need points to be sure of qualifying for the top eight. We're going to have to do more than we did tonight.”
Inter then came to the microphone of the Italians and had another line of statements.
I smoked three cigarettes in a row and told the boys what I had to say. It's a lot of disappointment, we didn't deserve to lose, but unfortunately we haven't brought home much lately. We saw a lot of bitterness in the eyes of the players, but this is football and we have to react and do everything to get out of this situation.
Sooner or later in football, the wheel turns. I paid for the frenzy of the last few minutes. We could have been more careful on the counterattack and the last pass. These are things that we will analyze in the video. We conceded a goal at the last corner. Congratulations to them, but we had the tallest footballers on the pitch. We had the best men in the box, but we had to avoid that corner.
–Cristi Chivuaccording to the Italian press
Inter, despite the defeat suffered in Madrid, occupies the 4th place in the Champions League, tied with PSG, Bayern and Real Madrid, the difference being given only by goal difference. Inter's next match in Serie A will be away to Pisa.
It can happen in football. Sometimes you do everything on the field, but it's not enough. We didn't deserve to lose today, but we'll keep working. Maybe in the future we will be luckier.
We gave it our all and conceded two goals from three shots. It's not fair, but that's football and we move on. I am happy with the team's performance, we did things well. There are many things to improve, but I can't fault my team for anything. It hurts to lose like that.
