Chivu’s deputy after the 1-1 draw against Viola: “I understand everything, but we must also remember that we are at +6, and we think everything is easy. But the team is not at its best moment”
The first one to “own” is bitter. Aleksandar Kolarov, Chivu’s assistant promoted from the bench to first coach due to the Romanian’s disqualification, appears for the first time in front of the microphones with the frankness that has always distinguished him: “We didn’t play our game and we’re not in the best moment. Three points were fundamental, but credit must be given to Fiorentina. We’re still at +6 and everything remains in our hands… There’s a lack of malice, a lack of clarity, there’s tiredness due to the many games. The team He’s not having his best moment because we’re used to seeing an Inter side that dominates. Closing this championship is up to us.” Then a comment on the Nerazzurri forwards: “They are fundamental in both the offensive and defensive phases, the aim is to attract the opponents to play on the strikers. But we also needed to do better in midfield, get to the attackers better. Now we will try to recover some players. With Inter everything seems to be due: Fiorentina are not the last to arrive, a draw in Florence can be done. But when it comes to Inter it’s all too easy. I understand everything, but we must also remember that Inter are at +6.” The national team? “I think everyone is preparing, I think everyone is available to coach Gattuso apart from Bastoni.”

After the assistant coach, it’s the Nerazzurri’s turn: “As soon as the match was over there was regret for the last chance, well done De Gea. Maybe I could have done something more… Fiorentina played a great match and the result was right, I don’t know immediately what we missed but Viola deserved this result. I don’t feel like the driving force. I feel like a player who gives everything on the pitch for this team and this group. We started very strong straight away with a great approach and we demonstrated that desire to win immediately, then Fiorentina were good and took a lot of the field, deserving the National draw?
