The Inter coach comments on the 5-0 win over Sassuolo: “We struggled in the opening minutes. But this team has done a tremendous job since the start of the season and we still have room for improvement.”

“This match shows how we’ve grown, the maturity of a team that knows what to do and has found its scoring touch. It’s the little things that make the difference, but Sassuolo made things difficult for us in the opening minutes with their vertical play. We understood and managed the moments.“ Cristian Chivu analyzes Inter’s clear victory in Reggio Emilia, which puts them back at +8 over Milan, at least for now: ”We must recognize the work this team has done since the beginning of the season, because there have been moments when we have not been dominant. But we continue to work with humility and with our feet on the ground. There are many teams in contention for the top spots, then we’ll see in March-April, but we have a burning desire to be competitive.“ Then there are those who point out to Chivu that Inter dominate against the smaller teams but lack something against the big ones: ”We’re not perfect, we can also get into trouble. But there is still room for improvement. And the games are what they are. The league is a marathon, the three points have to be won, no matter how or against whom. What matters is getting to the end. There are still 14 games to go, with many points up for grabs. As I always say, keep your head up and your back straight: we are Inter, we have ambition and we want to be competitive until the end of May.”
