Mihai Stoica (61 years old), president of the Administrative Council from FCSBis of the opinion that Cristi Chivu (45) will have a much harder time on his bench Inter Milan next season.
Cristi Chivu had a very good first season on the bench of Inter Milan, achieving the event, which has not happened since the 2009-2010 season, when Jose Mourinho was the coach.
Mihai Stoica believes that the next season will be more complicated for Chivu, as they would need 3 or 4 top transfers to keep the team at the same level.
The official from Bucharest believes that the coach is still not in a position to have too high claims in this case and gave the example of Antonio Conte, who won the title with Napoli last year, after making 3 important transfers.
Mihai Stoica: “Chivu still can't do that”
“It will be very difficult for Cristi Chivu. It needs 3-4 value holders. When Conte signed with Napoli, he gave 100 million for 3 players: Buongiorno, starter for the national team, McTominay, who even now I don't understand how United gave him, and Lukaku.
Conte is Conte, he can sign and say he wants this one, that one and that one. Chivu still can't do that. He has been training for a year and 3 months, no more.
Barella could go, he didn't help much. He is in the same position as Zielinski. Take Zielinski's developments and compare them to Barella's. He was also lucky with him, but Dimarco was phenomenal. Dimarco has been Inter's best player this year, by far.
I say that this event is stronger than a Champions League final!”, said Mihai Stoica, at Prima Sport.
