The decision of Inter's bosses regarding Cristi Chivu, after the failure in the Supercup » The announcement made by the Italians

The course in Serie A, where Inter is the leader, and in the Champions League, where Chivu's team is almost qualified for the eighth, gives hope to the club management.

Within the team there is no concern after the elimination from the Super Cup, but there is the idea that something needs to change in the big matches. Club bosses still have faith in Chivu, according to Italian media.

Gazzetta dello Sport: “Confidence in Cristi Chivu”

“Inter leave Riyadh with low morale: confidence in Chivu, but more wickedness needed”headlined the Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian journalists continued: “In the beginning, the whole team, from the players to the staff and the management, looked tired and disappointed, but there was no desire to dramatize, despite the strong and common anger at the defeat: there was no theatrical confrontation and nothing similar is planned today.

In short, despite the sadness of the moment, there are no signs of a storm coming. However, the Nerazzurri were particularly keen to win this trophy to break a year-and-a-half curse. Their last trophy was the Scudetto in May 2024, which now risks fading into memory.

What weighs the most on the team's mood is the manner in which this seventh loss of the season came about, a number considered by all to be too high.

The real problem is the tendency to repeat themselves, as important matches for Inter too often end the same way: they create chances, manage them complacently, miss decisive chances or passes, and then pay the price.

In short, he has to step forward, he has to go one step higher. However, full and renewed confidence in Chivu, who has the team in hand”.

• Inter have one more match this year, on December 28, against Atalanta, in Serie A.
