Cristian Chivu’s Inter era will officially kick off tomorrow against CF Monterrey in the Club World Cup. It’s a significant moment — not only for the competitive debut, but also for the mindset the new coach aims to instill in his squad.
Speaking in his first pre-match press conference, Chivu made his expectations clear: “We mustn’t look back. This is the end of the 2024–25 season, and we have to honour the tournament by putting out the best version of ourselves. No excuses — physical or mental — we’re ready”.
The response from the squad has been immediate. Lautaro Martínez, after a candid exchange with his new coach, rallied the group: “One last push — we need to stay focused and mentally strong”. Alessandro Bastoni, meanwhile, praised Chivu’s high-energy approach, describing it as a “new spark” within the team.
