Inter Milan coach Christian Chib described Hakan Karhanoglu as “motivated” and “ready for help” after Turkish international garnered criticism from Fabio Capello ahead of the Derby Doiaria against Juventus.
Speaking at his press conference ahead of the clash with Juventus on Saturday evening, Chiv discussed the game preparations, the summer transfer window and what he expects from his side.
With a quote via Fcinternews, Chivu praised the team’s efforts in training.
“The team, especially the players we were with, did well,” Chive said. “The others were there with their national team afterwards.
Chivu emphasized that it is extremely important to integrate the entire team.
“Today is my first day when the group was finished,” he added.
Coach Chivma plans to challenge Juventus
Coach Inter believes that the match is not just a skill, but a test of mental strength.
“We only have to play these games in the third match, the beauty of football,” Chivu said.
After a loss to Udinese, Chiv focused on honing his confidence and strengthening his strengths.
“I didn’t talk about minor flaws, but I’m talking about certainty,” he said.
The new arrival Manuel Akanji could face Juventus, and Chiv emphasized the importance of Swiss international.
“It’s not important how the signature happened, but I don’t think he’s arrived,” the coach argued, “Akanji is an important player of international quality and he adds value to our group.”
As Chivu prepares Inter for Juventus test, Calhanoglu Vital
Former Milan and England coach Fabio Capello was critical of Hakan Karjanoglu in today’s Gazzetta Delo Sports column.
The former Italian coach said the Turkish international is in desperate need of restoring his mentality.
However, Chivu had another take.
“What I saw last month is a constant motivational player despite everyone forgetting that he was sidelined for two months through his injuries.
“He had a summer when he wasn’t completely happy, but he chose to be with us and is ready to help.”
Chivu emphasized that teams must maintain focus and energy throughout the season.
“We know the length of the season, it’s a 38-match marathon,” he said.
The coaches expect the team to play aggressively and dominate key moments against Juventus.
“Our identity remains the same and we have to find a solution that can withstand the other party’s challenges,” Chive said.
He also emphasized the importance of motivation and team spirit.
“It’s an ongoing process and once your passion is found, it can easily be lost,” he said.
“Motivation makes daily difference for both players and staff.”
Chivu also confirmed that younger players such as Yann Bisseck remained essential to the team.
“Managing a group is the most difficult part for a coach because everyone needs to be motivated.”
“Bisseck was criticized for his ease of judging and expressing his opinion on players who probably had no chance of being consistent.
“Remember he’s a young man. He makes a mistake and continues.
“But he was chosen because we needed him.”
Chivu about the depths between troops and lessons from Parma
Nerazzurri confidently approaches Derby da Italia. The key player is resting and ready for fixtures.
Chivu appears happy with his summer transfer window, saying, “My 25 players are the best, I won’t see anywhere else.
“I’m so happy to work with such a motivated group. We’ve found a little energy and determination. The younger players are helping to raise the bar in training.”
The reporter asked Chive if he had regained a 1-0 victory for the Palma side over Juventus last season.
“We shouldn’t compare to keep things consistent.
“Tudor just arrived and I was coaching Parma. Igor does an amazing job, he has won two this year.
“They had a good transfer window for coach ideas, they have a Bremerback.
“Our expectations for play and results are very high…
“But that doesn’t mean we should have extra pressure that impacts our performance.
“We rely on what we know for the way we do it and the pride of the champion. Mentality is more important than any tactical issue.”
Finally, the reporter asked Chivu how excited he was about the match as a player.
“Please ask this question every Sunday lol, Ed
“I take it gently because I know that being excited is a waste of energy.
“I know what I do, both as a player and a coach.
“The rest is a waste of energy that’s useless. If I start seeing ghosts, I do harm. Now I feel that my teammates are responsible, so I’m resting more than I did as a player.”
