Thus the Nerazzurri coach after the 3-1 defeat: “Too much energy is wasted, out of consistency I will never come and complain”
Cristian Chivu goes his own way. “The club has the right to do what it thinks is right, out of consistency I will never come and complain because I have a dignity and a different approach. I’m not interested in reputation or showing how good I am, the players must only think about playing. I’m trying to change things, but for now I’m fighting alone. We’re always used to crying and complaining: we have to evolve. As long as I’m here I’ll do this.” This is the thought of the Nerazzurri coach after the defeat.

This is Chivu’s comment on the match instead: “I saw a great first half. Despite Napoli’s intensity we managed to be dominant and suffer. We played our match, then football is what it is. We need to maintain attention and clarity. We were missing something in the second half.” On the argument between Lautaro and Conte, however, he responded like this: “I don’t know what happened, but I say that we can’t throw away what we’ve done just because we want to argue with the bench. We have to think about where we want to go. “I want to talk about how much good the boys did in the first half. Then we tried to stay in the game and we did. We took two poles and continued to attack even when we were down. Then we reacted late: the third goal is the consequence of lost clarity. You can’t concede like that from a throw-in.”
