The Nerazzurri coach analyzes the victory in Dortmund: “It wasn’t easy in an environment like this, and look at Sommer, Luis Henrique, Diouf… But the most important challenge is always the next one”
Who knows what would have happened if the two defeats in the very last minutes against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool had not come. The points say that, with the victory in Dortmund, Inter today would be blissfully among the top 8 of the Champions League (here is the ranking). But this was not the case, despite the convincing conquest of Signal Iduna Park. “We have what we deserve and we must not look back but take what we have done – analyzes Cristian Chivu -. Here, with this crowd, it wasn’t easy. But the match was good, despite the fact that we could have done something more. In the last two months this group has grown exponentially. A possible challenge to Mourinho? Now I’m only thinking about challenging Nicola on Sunday, because it is the most important match of this season: tonight we are forced to sleep here, we will travel, we will train… But the most important is always the next one”.

Then the Nerazzurri coach focuses on Dimarco’s performance: “Ask him, I’m very happy with his start to the season especially in terms of mentality. He wants to work hard and be decisive, he’s always had quality. And today he’s mature, complete, we’re enjoying it.” And there are those who point out to Chivu Inter’s change in philosophy between Serie A and the Champions League: “It’s thanks to these guys who immediately responded to our requests with humility, the key word of this group. Everyone tries to do everything they can to be protagonists, everyone knows that they have the opportunity to do so in turn: look at Sommer, Luis Henrique, Diouf who had all the patience to work to understand where it happened and the expectations that exist. Andy entered with the right spirit, I’m happy he’s unblocked but it must continue like this because now maturity is important, work comes first. We can win, we can lose, but we must never lose our attitude and our mentality.”
