The Italian press evaluated Inter Milan's performance after the success in the match with Como3-2, from the semi-finals of the Cup. This was also the overall score after the round ended 0-0.
Cristi Chivu's side again managed to turn Como from 0-2 down, just as they did 10 days ago in the 4-3 league win. Then, Como had been the host.
In the 68th minute, Como was leading 2-0, just before Calhanoglu's goal. The Turk also managed to equalize in the 86th minute. Sucic (89), introduced by Chivu in the last half hour, scored the goal that brought victory.
What grade did Cristi Chivu receive after Inter – Como
TMT, a major Italian sports publication, awarded Chivu a Grade 7 for his team's performance.
They have written before: “He lets Como have possession and takes a serious risk. He manages to come back though, just like in the championship. From the bench, he finds the right key to open the door to the Olimpico.”
7 was also awarded to fcinter1908.it. They scored: “Como makes him tremble again. And, once again, he emerges victorious. His team never gives up and the Sucic-Diouf moves are winners. He turns Fabregas and enjoys the triumph.”
It doesn't manage to fit in too well with Como, which plays a very compact and fast game. He changes his pace in the second half and flies towards the final.
