Rome, 8 Nov. (LaPresse) – “Today we upped the pace and intensity, and the quality of our play too. We played as a team, making the right decisions. A very good first half allowed us to go into the break two goals ahead; sometimes you also need to know how to manage your energy and capitalise on transitions. I’d like to congratulate the lads – they were all marvellous.” So said Cristian Chivu, Inter’s manager, to Sky Sport after the victory over Como. “Out of nine matches, it’s only natural to have a dip in form in some of them. Sometimes there are disappointments that have to be accepted. Did losing the derby spark something? There’s always room for improvement and for doing the right things on the path we need to take. You can’t always be perfect; seasons are long and there are plenty of matches, and you have to make the most of them,” he continued. “We lost a match like the derby but we’re moving on; we mustn’t dwell on our setbacks but draw on our experience and have an ambitious season. We bounced back after losing the derby, but we did the same after the Bruges match too. There was a lot of disappointment – after nine matches, we could have done better, but we could also have done worse,” he concluded.
