Inter, Chivu’s management brings Martinez and Provedel back to form

Cristian Chivu’s management of Josep Martinez and Ivan Provedel is giving Inter positive answers. The coach’s work has brought both goalkeepers back to a high level of performance, right before the derby against Milan, scheduled for Saturday, October 31 at 20:45. It gives the Nerazzurri staff more options ahead of the city clash.

The coach’s strategy has allowed the two goalkeepers to regain consistency, confidence and concentration. Martinez is expected to start the derby, while Provedel remains a concrete and reliable alternative. The message from the squad is that Inter have a competitive goalkeeping department, where the hierarchy does not diminish the importance of the player waiting for his opportunity.

Inter approach the derby on the back of three straight wins: 1-0 against Shakhtar in the Champions League, 2-1 against Fiorentina and 2-0 away to Venezia. After facing Milan, the Nerazzurri will play Feyenoord on Tuesday, November 3 at 21:00 in the Champions League, before hosting Como on Sunday, November 8 at 18:00.
