Inter coach Chivu reproached his players in the dressing room at San Siro after a 2-1 win over Kairat in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Why Chivu was unhappy with Inter players

Gazzetta dello Sport reports on Friday (page 2) that Chivu was particularly irritated by the ‘attitude, arrogance and the sense of barely concealed superiority’ shown by his players at San Siro.

Before talking to the media, Chivu firmly told the team that they’d need much more this season to reach their targets.

Inter players digested the coach’s speech and spoke about it before a training session on Thursday as well.

Chivu wants Inter to avoid mistakes from the past

Chivu feels his players must show a different attitude from the past especially considerint that the Nerazzurri dropped 13 points in 2024-25 against teams that eventually didn’t qualify for Europe.

Last season, they suffered six comebacks in Serie A, drawing or losing six games from winning position. Draws against Genoa and Parma (2-2) and Monza (1-1) were among the results that cost Inter the title under Inzaghi last term and Chivu wants to make sure that his players won’t make the same mistakes under his guidance.
