Chivu relaunches Inter: “We are still the team to beat”

Cristian Chivu has sent a clear message about Inter’s current situation: despite the setback in the derby, the Nerazzurri remain the team to beat. The coach has therefore refocused attention on Inter’s ambitions after a week that brought both a defeat and an immediate reaction.

The message comes against the backdrop of the team’s latest results. On October 31, Milan defeated Inter 3-1, but the response arrived in the Champions League on November 3, with a 3-0 win away to Feyenoord. On November 8, San Siro witnessed Inter’s return to victory in Serie A, as Como 1907 were beaten 2-0. Chivu’s words therefore come during a phase of recovery, with the squad required to confirm its strength after the derby.

The international break comes before a demanding fixture. Inter will return to action on Sunday, November 22 at 20:45 away to Atalanta. Stuttgart will then visit in the Champions League on November 25 at 21:00, before the home match against Genoa on November 28 at 20:45. The team to beat must prove it again on the pitch.
