Chivu made his debut by a coach at Inter. What explanations did the Romanian coach give after the draw with Monterrey
Coming after the disappointment at the end of last season, when he lost the title in Serie A and was humiliated by PSG in the Champions League final (0-5), the Italian Inter Milan team also accused the shocks of the clubs, where he debuted last night and where he drew, score 1-1, with the Mexican band Monterrey. It was the debut of the Romanian coach Cristian Chivu (44 years old) on the bank of the Lombard band.

They marked the Spanish Sergio Ramos (39 years old) for Monterrey, in the 25th minute, and the Argentine Lautaro Martinez (27 years old) restored the equality, in the 42nd minute. After the break it was no longer registered. In the same group, River Plate had Urawa Red Diamonds with 3-1 and drives in the standings. The first two positions go further.
“We have little energy”
At the press conference after the match, Cristi Chivu (44 years old) said that the interior was missing “a bit of hunger”, but should not be ashamed of how he expressed on the field.
“Inter gave everything he could, everything he had in them today. I am not looking for excuses, but now we have a little energy, with what we suffered we have a little tormented. But, in total, it was still a good performance. We created many occasions, we were wrong at the end and at the last pass we lacked a little hunger in front of the gate. Overall, of course, we could have done better, especially in the second half I was slow. But I prefer to emphasize the team's commitment”.
Chivu, who said that the team has to work on the fixed phases, used two tactical formulas, 3-4-1-2, then at 3-4-2-1: “When you play against a down blockage, you always try to create difficult situations for opponents, trying to surprise them. And that's what I did, it is generally fair to always have an extra solution. We could have done better. I think we did everything we could to win is a pity we couldn't take the three points”.
Mexican journalists asked him if he was embarrassed by the result with the match with Monterrey, a weaker rated band: “We are never ashamed of what we do on the ground, this is because football is not always what he writes on paper”.
