The Nerazzurri technician presents the challenge to tomorrow’s Ajax: “I don’t change just because the people asks for it”. And Dumfries: “Let’s learn from this moment”

Cristian Chivu reveals himself in the press room of the Johan Cruijff Arena and retains the emotion, cold and concentrated. When they point out that inside the stadium there are his photos while lifting the title won in 2002 sketches a smile, but it does not make a turn: “I am grateful to what I have lived here. It allowed me to grow and mature. To take an important step in Serie A, with Roma. I am grateful to the Ajax of everything, I know the project and what is behind it”. But tomorrow is another story.

Play Sommer

Chivu chews a little more from Dutch. He jokes with the reporters of Amsterdam showing off some phrase made in Orange and gives news: on goal Yann Sommer plays, protagonist in the negative with Juventus but confirmed by the coach at the conference. “It is not fair to put him in the square and pull him stones on all sides. It is important for us, he showed him last year, from a human point of view I do not feel like doing such a thing. I respect Martinez, sooner or later he will have his possibility, but I do not change in the people asks if I ask the people. I do not want to go against the current. He needs to be helped one with his experience. It is right to remain in the door”. So on Lautaro, on the other hand, who skipped the finishing for a back problem: “We will evaluate him tomorrow”, said Chivu, who then spoke of his friendship with Heitinta: “When I was a captain of Ajax I helped him. It was my task”. Mentality chapter: “We always go back to the usual things. This team is strong, in Turin it was not easy to play the game, if we look only at the result you can say what you want. It is habit, now. I know, the players know, but you must also look at what has been done good”.

speak dumfries

In the press room also Denzel Dumfries, who thus spoke about the many goals conceded in the final minutes. The last at the Allianz last Saturday: “We often talked about it among us – said the Dutchman -. We played a good game against Juve, then it went as it went. It’s true, we recognized this moment and we have to learn a lot. When you play the Champions League to win. We have a strong team”. Guarantees Denzel.
