Sebastien Frey believes in Chivu: “Inter is the favorite”

Thanks to the victory with Lecce (1-0), Inter secured the unofficial title of “winter champion” in Serie A. It has 6 points more than its main opponents for the “scudetto”, Milan and Napoli, even 7 more than Juventus, and cannot lose the first position regardless of the result of the game Como – Milan, scheduled for Thursday evening.

Sebastien Frey: “Inter have the most complete”

Even though Cristi Chivu's team did not win any of the duels with the giants – 2-2 and 1-3 with Napoli, 3-4 with Juventus, 0-1 with Milan – former French goalkeeper Sebastien Frey, active in his career at Inter Milan, Hellas Verona, Parma, Fiorentina and Genoa, still believes that the Nerazzurri are favorites for the title this season.

“I think Inter are the favourites. They have the most complete squad. Chivu is a great football expert, I know him very well. At first it might have seemed like a risky choice, but it shows that he is very well prepared; he led a great group well. I hope he can start a series of victories, because he deserves it”, said Frey, in an interview given to the portal calciomercatoweb.it.

Cristi Chivu: “What matters is where you will be in May”

Chivu, on the other hand, is more cautious in his statements about the title fight. “I have won this semi-title of winter champion before in my career, but it is not worth anything. What matters is where you will be in May. Of course, it means that you are competitive, but as I said before, it will be a fight until the end, for every point”, said the Romanian technician in the press conference that followed the match with Lecce, on Thursday evening.

Former Inter captain Giuseppe Bergomi knows what Inter still needs for the title: “The club needs to make three signings: a quick defender, a physical midfielder and a one-on-one striker. If I could only sign one for now, hopefully Dumfries will be back as soon as possible, I would take a midfielder who is physically strong and can change the tempo.”
