Chivu after the derby: “Inter must have the culture of bouncing back”

Cristian Chivu has returned to Inter’s defeat in the derby against Milan, a 3-1 loss suffered on October 31 in Serie A. The Nerazzurri coach placed the result within the team’s overall journey, stressing the importance of facing the most demanding matches without avoiding difficult moments.

“These are matches you have to play; you need the culture of knowing how to get back up,” Chivu explained in his contribution circulated on November 9. The coach’s message focuses on the squad’s ability to absorb a setback and turn it into a concrete response, without allowing one negative evening to affect the following games. The reaction came with the European victory away to Feyenoord.

After the derby, Inter beat Feyenoord 3-0 in the Champions League on November 3 and defeated Como 2-0 at San Siro on November 8. The next official fixture will be on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, away against Atalanta, on Serie A matchday 12. It will be the first test after the international break.
