Inter’s 1-0 win over Shakhtar on Wednesday, October 21, continues to provide material for analysis. Paolo Di Canio returned to Cristian Chivu’s team performance, focusing especially on the decisive goal scored by Carlos Augusto. His comments highlight not only the result, but also the way the Nerazzurri approached the match.

The former striker compared the Brazilian’s technical execution with the type of move usually associated with Harry Kane, praising his timing and ability to attack the box. For Di Canio, however, the key issue was not the quality of the individuals. The main problem against the Ukrainians was the team’s attitude when it had to manage possession and impose its own rhythm.

Inter now turn to their Serie A meeting with Fiorentina, scheduled for Sunday, October 25 at 12:30, after losing 4-3 to Club Brugge on October 13 and beating Bologna 3-1 on October 17. The European victory therefore ended the negative Champions League run and gives Chivu another positive result to build on.
