The Inter coach analyzes the defeat in the derby and focuses on the choice to replace the Nerazzurri captain after 64′: “Lautaro is fine, it was my decision. We need to perceive the danger more but the table is short”
The first derby as a coach is very bitter. Big opportunities wasted, two posts, a missed penalty. But above all the defeat. Cristian Chivu’s baptism against Milan could not have been more disappointing, especially given how the Devil’s victory developed. “The performance and the attention were there, we didn’t suffer any counterattacks. The only time we went for a long throw, Milan scored – analyzes the Nerazzurri coach -. But I take the good performance of the boys who tried in every way. This is the spirit I want to see, then it’s clear that 4 defeats in 12 days are too many. The league table is short, we need to overcome the disappointments and overcome the frustration, which can leave some marks. I know how much we create and how much let’s concede. Sommer? I’m not talking about individuals, it’s not fair. For me, mine are the best and I could never point the finger at anyone because when you do it it means there is a smell of failure. We are all in this situation: we could have solved it, done better, managed it, but the statistics are what they are.

Then Chivu analyzes the counter-attacking issue, a weapon that many use against Inter: “Due to my team’s characteristics, we attack with many men and this exposes you to counterattacks from others. But today we only conceded one, which was fatal. We need to work, improve, perceive the danger better and get a few more yellow cards.” And Lautaro, replaced in the 64th minute? “He’s fine, I took him off due to my technical choice: can’t I change players? Even those on the bench deserve to make their contribution. It was my decision.” The conclusion is a bitter smile. As it should be.
