Chivu’s silent revolution brings hunger back to Inter Milan

Against Cagliari, Inter Milan showed determination and drive, rediscovering the hunger that had been missing

The hunger is back. The Inter Milan seen against Cagliari, apart from the usual flaw of finishing, showed desire and determination on the pitch. 

The revolution started by Cristian Chivu is giving the team back that conviction of still being a strong group.

“The hunger of a team of champions that Chivu is motivating day after day, without proclamations. We could call it the silent revolution. 

After last year’s wounds and the traumatic separation from Simone Inzaghi, there was a need for a coach like him, someone able to inject into the players the belief that they have the strength and quality to keep competing at the top. 

It’s no coincidence that Lautaro scored again just a few days after his coach publicly defended him against those who should be Inter Milan supporters but were instead jeering their striker,” notes Corriere dello Sport via Fcinter1908.

“That scene is probably the photograph of the new Inter Milan. The turning point. The reversal. The commander, seemingly gentle, who protects his players but does so with firmness. In Cagliari, further results of his work were visible. If there’s one flaw in the performance, it lies in not having been able to convert the superiority seen on the pitch.

There’s another detail that seems indicative of Chivu’s intelligence. He doesn’t hold scholarly conferences about the path he has in mind to change Inter Milan and make it his own. 

He knows how to change without announcing revolutions. Progressively, with gentleness. But without hesitation. The coach’s goal and work appear clear to us: gradually rejuvenating the team, making it seem like a natural process, while working simultaneously on the present and the future. Not a joke. 

To face and accept such a project at Inter Milan, you need to be not only a great coach but also a confident person. Chivu has shown this by facing the storm that followed the two consecutive defeats in the league.”
