The 7th round of Serie A was a focus battle. Inter Milan narrowly defeated Roma 1-0 in the away game. After the game, Nerazzurri coach Chivu discussed all aspects of the game.

About the team's performance throughout the game

Today the team showed great resilience. I asked the players to understand the timing of the game before, and they did a good job today. We performed very well in the first half and fell off a bit in the second half, but that's normal. Everyone gave their all and we tried our best to win the game. I'm very happy, the players deserved this win. They put in a lot of effort to overcome the disappointment of last season.

Regarding the team's offensive performance

I know what resources I have on hand. I am happy with Boni and Lautaro, although the latter was not at his best, he still contributed to the team. Pio also played his role after coming off the bench, and he even played in the midfield position. The whole team deserves credit and the players have the right attitude.

About Akanji

I don’t like to talk about a certain player alone. Akanji doesn’t need my praise. Everyone knows who he is and how important he is. The same goes for Bieseke, Acerbi and other players who all bring experience and motivation to the team. I'm happy to have these championship players.

About team unity

That hug was spontaneous. We are a team, working together every day, and everyone trying their best to win. Today we understand the importance of this game, it is one of the key battles that determine the direction of the season. Everyone is happy.

Regarding the next game against Naples

I only focus on my team and will not consider other teams. We have our problems, but we've been on a difficult path. We won’t focus too much on the standings.
