Cristian Chivu won the “scudetto” with Interand the Italian press reacted immediately, with strong headlines after the Romanian's historic season. Inter beat her on Parmascore 2-0, and the Romanian became the mathematical champion with three stages before the end, right in his first season on the “nerazzurri” bench.
After Sunday night's win, major Peninsula publications analyzed Chivu's performance and the team's spectacular transformation.
The Italian press recorded Chivu's success: “From the darkest night to triumph”
Those from Gazzetta dello Sport emphasized the incredible comeback of the team: “Inter champion of Italy for the 21st time! In 12 months, from the darkest night, to the triumph signed by Chivu.”
Corriere dello Sport chose a simple but suggestive headline: “Chivu, champion of Italy, the words that sum up the meaning of his performance at Inter.”
Tuttosport described the moment at the stadium: “Celebration erupted at the San Siro as a triumphant 2-0 win over Parma gave Chivu his first trophy as a manager and his first since taking over from Inter's technical bench last summer.”
The Football Italia publication analyzed the career of the Romanian technician: “Chivu's quiet transformation at Inter: from Champions League final disaster to title glory.“
The folks at Leggo.it went even further, providing an extensive analysis:
“Chivu, grade 9. The first title in his debut season, becoming practically a complete coach – coach, psychologist and leader. Chivu, despite general distrust and the label of “third option” after Inzaghi and Fabregas, managed to rebuild, both physically and mentally, a group that came out of Munich with broken bonesinvolving everyone, veterans and youngsters alike, and bringing out the best in every player.”
