Inter, Chivu holds talks with squad after derby: target set

The defeat in the derby against Milan prompted Cristian Chivu to bring the squad together for direct talks. The Nerazzurri coach addressed the group about the difficult moment after Saturday’s 3-1 loss, demanding an immediate response on the pitch. Inter, coming off a heavy setback, cannot allow the consequences of the derby to linger for long.

The discussion between the coach and the players focused on the attitude shown against the Rossoneri and the need to regain unity. The meeting came after a week that had begun with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina and continued with a 0-2 victory away to Venezia. Two consecutive wins had strengthened Inter’s path before the abrupt setback in the derby.

The first chance to assess Inter’s reaction is already scheduled: on Tuesday, November 3, at 9 p.m., the Nerazzurri will face Feyenoord in Rotterdam on Champions League matchday four. In Serie A, the next fixture will be on Sunday, November 8, at 6 p.m. against Como at San Siro. The schedule therefore demands an immediate response after the internal meeting.
