Chivu: Team loses cool after clash; disappointed but cannot be overcome by negativity

Hupu News on October 26th: Inter Milan lost 1-3 to Naples in the 8th round of Serie A. After the game, Inter Milan head coach Chivu accepted interviews from many media and attended the press conference.

What do you think of the various events that occurred in this game?

"I'm talking about football, the game itself. I want to talk about how well the players did in the first half. We tried to keep the game suspense and maintain balance. We also hit the goalpost twice, even after being led by the opponent, we responded before the end of the first half."

"In the second half, I We regained our balance because the team had the desire to regain the score. We got a goal back, but even so, we wasted energy. After the conflict with the opponent's bench, we could no longer concentrate from that moment on and failed to make the right moves to reverse the game."

You were a bit disjointed after the score was tied at 1-2, and ended up conceding another goal...

"Yes, it was a waste of energy, we should have read the rhythm and timing of the game. In the second half, we lost the sense of danger, too many people were busy attacking and organizing, and a long pass from Spinazzola hit me. We were caught off guard and failed to prevent McTominay's intervention in time. Our reaction was too slow. The third goal was caused by losing our composure. We couldn't concede the ball so easily on a sideline defense. You once said that "Inter Milan players must always be protected." Do you think so tonight?

"I'm proud of everything these boys are doing and I'm even more confident after tonight. I saw a very strong team and despite the disappointing result, we still showed pressure and control. We came here to play our game, but unfortunately, this is football. You have to always stay focused and we really fell short in that area in the second half tonight."

What happened between the benches of the two teams?

"I don't want to talk about it, and I'm not interested. I would just tell my players: Don't waste energy arguing with the opponent's bench. We just want to focus on the game and think about the goals we want to achieve."

"We came here today to play our game, and in certain periods we We did, but after the conflict with the opponent's bench, we failed to show our style of play. The third goal conceded was also caused by a lack of calmness. The opponent took advantage of the numerical advantage and used a very simple coordination to penetrate our defense. "

Have you asked about the penalty kick?

"Who to ask? We have to wait for them to say it themselves. We cannot be swayed by frustration, we must stay focused during the game and not waste energy, because these penalty decisions do not depend on us. We should focus on the parts we can control, and the rest is a waste of energy."

What do you think of Conte and Marotta's remarks?

"The club has the right to do what they think is right, and as a coach, I must also be consistent in principle and not complain or complain, because doing so will not bring dignity. I prefer a different way of working, not like many people."

"I don't care about my reputation, nor do I care about others. I don’t think I’m ‘great’. I just want to do my job well. I’m trying to improve the team instead of indulging in complaints and accusations. As long as I’m still sitting in this position, I will continue to do this and don’t care what others think of me.”

How does the team take the final step?

"We must continue to work hard, not to be knocked down by negative emotions, and to put aside all the good and bad. Of course, losing is always disappointing. This is an important game and we wanted to take away the victory. The team has always had the ability to bounce back and regained the passion and confidence. I believe it can do the same this time.
