Provedel, doubts after Venezia: Chivu reflects on the derby

Ivan Provedel made his mark in Inter’s victory away to Venezia. In the 2-0 win at the Penzo on Wednesday, October 28, the goalkeeper was regarded as one of the decisive figures in the Nerazzurri’s evening. His performance has reopened the discussion ahead of the next league fixture.

Cristian Chivu must now decide whether to keep Provedel in the starting lineup for the derby against Milan. The coach has not yet made up his mind: the goalkeeper’s display in Venezia is a strong argument in his favor, but the final decision will come only as the match approaches. The internal debate therefore concerns one of the most delicate positions in the team.

Inter head into the derby after three straight wins: 1-0 against Shakhtar in the Champions League on October 21, 2-1 against Fiorentina on October 25 and 2-0 at Venezia on October 28. Milan-Inter is scheduled for Saturday, October 31 at 20:45. After the derby, the Nerazzurri will face Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, November 3 at 21:00.
