Chivu praises Inter’s response: “Some defeats must be swallowed”

Cristian Chivu has praised Inter’s reaction after the derby defeat against Milan. The Nerazzurri coach highlighted the response produced in the following two matches, first in the Champions League against Feyenoord and then in Serie A against Como, beaten 2-0 on November 8.

The coach’s message focused on the team’s ability to absorb a negative night without allowing it to affect the next challenges. Chivu said he was “happy with the reaction to the lost derby” and explained that some defeats must be “swallowed in order to start again”. His words underline the attitude requested from the squad: turning disappointment into immediate, tangible performances without letting the setback create further damage.

Inter’s recent run includes the 3-1 defeat against Milan on October 31, the 3-0 victory away to Feyenoord on November 3 and the 2-0 win over Como. The next official fixture will be away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, in Serie A matchday 12. The Champions League meeting with Stuttgart follows on November 25 at 21:00.
