6686 Sports October 26th: In the 8th round of Serie A, the Inter Milan away team lost 1-3 to Naples. After the game, Inter Milan coach Chivu attended the press conference. He said that the team was too eager to win the game, causing the mentality to lose some sense of distance and balance.
About the performance of the entire game
Chivu: "We came here with our own strategic ideas, and we did it in part of the period. We created opportunities and showed good competition content, but there were also mistakes. Unfortunately, at the end of the half, we had a goal and a run. When we tried to reverse it in the second half, we lost some balance and clear judgment. We once rekindled the suspense, but failed to maintain concentration and consistency. Later, we wasted our energy on arguing with the opponent's coaching bench, and the game lost suspense at that moment. We failed to create a chance to turn the situation around again, and allowed the opponent to score through a simple collaboration from the side."
How did the twelve-yard ruling come about? Will we ask for an official explanation?
Chivu: "Who should we ask for an explanation? We can't ask for it from anyone, we can only wait for the official explanation. We should not make excuses or excuses, but should focus on our own competition performance and avoid being affected by frustration. We must always remain proactive, after all, the decision cannot be changed. What we can control is our own mentality. , the desire to compete and the determination to win, the rest is a meaningless waste of energy."
Conte said that Marotta's intervention devalued your work, and said that he did not need a "backer" to come forward...
Chivu: "The club has the right to do what they think. For the right thing. For the sake of consistency, I will never complain here - my understanding of football is different from others and I will continue to do so until the end. I don't care about proving to others how good I am. I have to convey the right values to the players and I am trying to make some changes, even if I am alone in this battle. One person: As long as I am still in this position, I will work hard to change the inherent perception of football in Italian football. We are always used to complaining and crying, but football needs to move forward. As long as I am still here, I will insist on doing so, no matter what others think of me."
How to cultivate the psychological maturity of the team?
Chivu: "We must work hard on the ground and not destroy all the results so far. This defeat hurt us very much. This is an important game - we are very much looking forward to winning and showing a good performance. This team has always stood up again in difficult situations in the past few years and regained its fighting spirit and confidence, and it will be the same this time."
Could Acerbi have been substituted like De Vrij in the Champions League against San Giros?
Chivu: "I don't see too many problems with Acerbi. Our problem is that we fail to implement effective pressure. Naples often plays behind the ball through Neres, which creates a lot of trouble for us. Maybe I will have a different view when I calm down and look back tomorrow, but So far, I don't think his performance was bad. What I saw was a team that controlled the game and created opportunities. Unfortunately, we lost control and clear judgment at the beginning of the second half."
Did the team lose their composure?
Chivu: "My analysis is what I just said. This has nothing to do with fighting spirit or desire, and we don't want to dwell on past grudges. We have a certain amount of experience, the players are good, and we are used to this level of competition. We performed well at the end of the first half, but our excessive desire to win the game made us lose a little sense of distance and balance. This team has always been able to regain its competitive state and perform well in the past few years, and I believe this time is no exception."
