Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu has said that his team’s UCL defeat against Real Madrid will not dampen his spirit. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Insisting that his players showed enough quality and character at the Santiago Bernabéu, Chivu maintained that he remains optimistic about the club’s European chances this season.
The Italian added that the final scoreline did not tell the whole story of the ninety minutes.
His words, “I’m not angry; I’m happy with the courage and personality we showed, and with the way the team overcame a difficult moment.
What matters to me is the reaction to certain mistakes, the body language, and how much you believe in what you’re doing.
We tried to be dominant and execute our game plan successfully, which makes me optimistic about the future of this team.
We knew about their quality and that we could make mistakes.
We didn’t try to sit back and speculate; we went toe-to-toe with Real Madrid, and that’s the performance I’m taking away from this game.
I have enormous affection for Mourinho for everything we did together, even during a difficult period in my life, and for the way he conducted himself as a great man.
It was a pleasure to see him again and embrace him, and I wish him all the best for this season.”
