Inter Milan head coach Christian Chib praised his team’s “great performance” in his defeat to Juventus, but admitted that “we couldn’t understand the key moments.”
It was a derby up and down, with both sides leading the game at key points.
Juventus took the lead through English defender Lloyd Kelly before Hakan Karhanoglu was equal.
Bianconeri has returned to the lead thanks to Kenan Yildiz’s incredible long distance efforts.
However, a wise alternative from Christian Chib and goals from Karhanoglu and Marcus Tulam gave Nerazzuri a lead heading into the final 10 minutes of the game.
Khephren Thuram answered the goal of his brother Marcus seven minutes after Vasilije Adzic’s injured time winner.
Chivu says Inter Milan offered “awesome performance” in Juventus’ defeat
Chib seemed proud of his team’s performance despite his full-time results.
Following the words of President Giuseppe Marotta earlier today, Derby doItalia is well above the full-time score.
Speaking about the match, Chivu answered a question from Dazn in a quote via Fcinternews.
The coach said:
“Unfortunately,” he added. “We couldn’t understand the important moments.”
“But we have to focus on performance,” Chive said. “We came here and won without a decision to control the game. There was no clarity in realizing that we needed something different in the last 10 minutes.”
The coach refused to accuse him of losing, saying, “I never look at things individually. It’s never fair to talk about one player.”
“We just say we need to better manage certain moments. Juventus wasn’t shy about clearing upfield on the ball when they got difficult.”

Hakan Calhanoglu has been around the media recently, and after a turbulent summer, it has attracted criticism from famous names such as Fabio Capello.
The Turkish midfielder almost left Nerazuli, where Turkish clubs Galatasarei and Fenerbahus linked the players in the summer.
The midfielder scored twice today, silenced criticism.
Chib praised Türkiye’s international, saying, “Kalha did what he expected from him, this is his quality.”
“This is a real Karhanogul,” the coach added. “He can give us this.”

“It’s a matter of mentality, habits, experience,” the coach said.
“We move forward with regret that we didn’t win the game.”
He concluded with a comment about the team’s progress.
“Look at the performance and see what’s good about today.
