Cristi Chivu (45 years old), Inter's coach, prefaced the away match with Como. The game was scheduled for Easter, on April 12.
The Romanian spoke about the main challenge in this mandate and refused to think about the title of champion.
At the moment, Inter is the leader in Serie A, with 72 points, 7 ahead of Napoli, the main contender.
Cristi Chivu, statements before Como – Inter: “From a point of view, we have progressed a lot”
The technician spoke about the human side of coaching, the special relationship with the dressing room and the fight for the title.
(What was the main challenge you faced in this first season?) To try to be myself. I succeeded, despite the possibility of wearing that mask that this world gives you: I chose to have the strength and courage to remain who I am and not lose my human side.
From a professional point of view, I have progressed a lot. I never wore that mask.
I think that, from a human point of view, things are often forgotten that are more important than professional ones. Over time, over the years, this group has solidified something special that allows us to be more united, to offer more affection than some would think.
Lautaro and Calhanoglu are as important as the others in this group. We all know the importance of our players, we all know how much they can give us, what their contribution is.
It is the real strength of this group and at the moment we are also enjoying the return of these important players, who recently had medical problems.
I'm not superstitious and I'm not making promises if we take the title. I believe in my work, in what I can offer and convey. I believe in my true strength, that is, in the human side. Solemn promises, in this case, are not necessary,” said Cristi Chivu, according to fcinter1908.it.
In the last championship game, Inter lost to AS Roma, score 5-2.
