Inter: Chivu grants the squad a free weekend during the break

The international break has changed the plans of Serie A’s leading clubs. One of the choices highlighted is Cristian Chivu’s decision at Inter, with the coach opting for a free weekend after the victory over Como. This approach differs from Luciano Spalletti’s plan, which is focused instead on keeping his group working on the pitch.

The break comes after an immediate response to the derby defeat. Inter followed the 3-1 loss to Milan on October 31 with a convincing 3-0 win at Feyenoord in the Champions League on November 3 and a 2-0 victory over Como on November 8. Chivu can therefore give his players a short recovery period before reorganizing preparations for the restart.

Inter’s next fixture is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 8:45 p.m., in Serie A’s 12th round. The Bergamo trip will be followed by the European meeting with Stuttgart on November 25 at 9:00 p.m., and then the home game against Genoa on November 28 at 8:45 p.m. The break will therefore be used to prepare for a busy league and Champions League schedule.
