Chivu Confident as Inter Prepares for Juventus

Inter Milan are gearing up for the classic “Derby d’Italia” against rivals Juventus. Despite a mixed start to the season, coach Cristian Chivu is optimistic, stating that his team is in good shape and ready for the challenge.

💪 Full Squad Ready to Go

Chivu confirmed that the team has trained well and that the entire squad is available following the international break. He noted that while representing their national teams can be tiring, it also brings positive energy and motivation back to the club. With everyone fit and ready to play, Inter is heading into the important match with a full-strength lineup.

🧠 A Focus on Boosting Confidence

The coach explained that his goal isn’t to completely change a team that has already been successful in Italy and Europe. Instead, he wants to build on their existing strengths. Chivu sees his role as adding new ideas and, most importantly, boosting the players’ confidence and motivation. He believes this approach will help guide the team toward achieving its goals for the season.

🗓️ One Match at a Time

While the match against Juventus is a major event, Chivu emphasized that it won’t decide the title race, as it’s still very early in the season. He believes in a long-term approach, acknowledging that every season has its ups and downs. The key, he said, is for the team to work hard, learn from any mistakes, and face challenges with courage in order to continue growing.
