Cristian Chivu explained his “secret weapon” after Udinese

The Romanian technician praised his students, especially the four strikers in the team that he plays alternately, and he also discussed the tactical decisions during the match with the 10th place in Serie A.

Cristian Chivu also highlighted the role of Manuel Akanji, central defender, whom the Romanian coach, at the end of the matches, promoted to central defensive midfielder after replacing an attacker with a defender in order to have more density in the defensive compartment.

Cristian Chivu, reaction after Udinese – Inter: “I have to congratulate them! They are working very well”

“I have four strikers who work very well, give everything for the team and live everyday life with dedication and responsibility. Our game depends on what they can do, and all four of them are doing well.

Akanji as a defensive midfielder is an additional solution, especially when the opponent plays the long ball and allows us to have more strength. The whole team, from the middle to the last line of defense has done a good job lately with focus. It is a real determination to continue working on this project. We must continue. Not a bad season. Bisseck has stepped up a lot, but this way he can better understand the role of defender and defend better (no laughs).

What we show on the field is desire and the fact that we accept the work. It is not easy to change certain habits, we have to double up, have intensity and defenders who show courage, who stand in a line up and talented midfielders in the form of creation. The players work every day. We have limited time and we work a lot on the video. I congratulate them. They are all available“, said Cristian Chivu, according to TMW.

Inter took an important step in the fight for the Scudetto, and at the moment it is 6 points behind the rival AC Milan. Napoli are also chasing, 9 points away. The two chasing squads did not play at this stage.
