Popovici and Inter: “Chivu is an inspiration for Romania”

David Popovici has spoken about Italy, his passion for Inter and his admiration for Cristian Chivu. The Romanian swimmer described his relationship with the country and identified the former Nerazzurri defender as an important figure for Romania. His comments also included another wish: meeting Kimi Antonelli, the young Italian talent from Formula 1.

Popovici explained that he feels close to Italian culture, also mentioning Seneca among the figures he appreciates. His connection with Inter is part of this personal picture, while Chivu represents an example capable of inspiring Romanian sport. His words bring football, literature and sport together, with the swimming champion also following Italy’s emerging sporting talents.

The reference to Chivu comes during a positive spell for Inter after the 2-0 victory over Como on November 8, preceded by a 3-0 Champions League win away to Feyenoord. The team will return to action on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45 away to Atalanta, before facing Stuttgart in Europe on November 25.
