What the Italian press writes about Cristi Chivu, after Inter – Liverpool
The Italians noted how Chivu's side overcame first-half losses when Chalhanoglou and Acerbi were injured and substituted and feel a draw would have been the fair result.
“Looking to exploit Liverpool's uncertainties, but the start is complicated. After overcoming two injuries in the first half of the match, Inter picked up the pace but could not find consistency until the end.
In a moment of fatigue, the punishment comes: Szoboszlai's penalty, controversial but decisive,” wrote tuttomercato.web, which awarded Chivu note 5.5.
“The double injury in the first half complicates the game terribly. He can't waste the third slot and has to get the rest of the changes together with a few minutes to go.
Inter are not as physically overpowering as they were against Como, but they still held their own against Liverpool. A draw would have been fair and deserved. Again, he gives in at the end,” wrote fcinter1907.it, who gave it to Chivu note 6.
Inter is in 5th place in the UCL, with 12 points after 6 matches. Chivu's team will also play in the group with Arsenal and Dortmund in January.
