Inter Milan ready for Derby d’Italia against Juventus: Chivu calls for focus

After a loss to Udinese, Inter Milan aims to regain confidence and energy in today’s clash at Allianz Stadium

Inter Milan arrives at the Derby d’Italia against Juventus today at Allianz Stadium in Turin, ready to redeem themselves after the 2-1 defeat against Udinese. Cristian Chivu emphasizes clarity and control:

“We shouldn’t overhype the match; everyone knows what the Derby d’Italia represents. We need the right energy to read the game properly.”

The team “has worked well. Today, the entire squad is available. Everyone is ready to play.” Chivu also confirms that Akanji is ready:

“Akanji is an important player with international value and stature. He is ready to play.”

Victory, however, will also come from attention to details:

“The team has confidence. I need the intelligence to understand what the team can do. I’m not here to change everything; I need to add something to restore confidence, energy, and motivation to achieve our goals.”

Chivu discusses the inevitable ups and downs of Serie A:

“We are aware of the importance of the match against Juventus, but this doesn’t change our value or the long journey of the season. 

There are highs and lows in the season. Sometimes you need to face setbacks, roll up your sleeves, and work. You must also learn from mistakes and move forward courageously. Only this way can we grow.”

Inter Milan’s identity key to interpreting the game

Chivu highlights that Inter Milan has a clear identity and that the team must approach the game with the best possible strategy:

“You need to understand and interpret the match, accepting solutions to withstand the intensity of the game. You go into the match trying to find the best variable for the group. Then you must dominate as a team to challenge the opponent.”

Regarding criticism toward Bisseck and the atmosphere before the match, Chivu comments:

“Managing a squad is the hardest thing. You need to keep everyone motivated; if you throw stones at them after the first mistake, you will never help them build self-esteem.”

Chivu confirms that there will be no extra pressure:

“We should not have extra pressure. Mental clarity is essential. I rely on the pride of my champions and players. Pride is worth more than all the tactics.”
