Gazette dello Sport reports Inter coach Christian Chivu was very unhappy with his players' attitude in Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over Kairat and made sure his team knew his feelings.
Inter coach Chivu chided his players in the dressing room at the San Siro after their 2-1 win over Kairat in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Why Chivu was unhappy with Inter players
Gazette dello Sport Friday reports (page 2) that Chiva was particularly irritated by the “attitude, arrogance and sense of barely concealed superiority” displayed by his players at the San Siro.
To communication with the media, Kivu firmly told the team that they would need much more this season to achieve their goals.
Inter players digested the coach's speech and talked about it before training on Thursday.
Chivu wants Inter to avoid the mistakes of the past
Chivu believes his players must show a different attitude than in the past, especially considering the Nerazzurri dropped 13 points in the 2024-25 season against teams who ultimately failed to qualify for Europe.
They returned to Serie A six times last season, drawing or losing six games from a winning position. Draws with Genoa and Parma (2-2) and Monza (1-1) were among the results that cost Inter the title under Inzaghi last season and Chivu wants to make sure his players don't make the same mistakes under him.
