Romanian coach Cristi Chivu is on a roll in Serie A with his team Inter Milan, which has secured another victory in the league, a comfortable 2-0 away win against Lecce.
After the current round’s victory, the 45-year-old Romanian coach made a bold announcement regarding the Champions League double-leg match against Bodo Glimt from Norway, scheduled for next week.
Inter is now 10 points ahead of the 2nd place and continues its solitary march towards the title. After a 1-3 result at the Arctic Circle, Interisti must overturn a 2-goal deficit in the double leg, which is still possible, considering the return leg will be played at home, at Meazza.
Chivu says his boys are ready for a comeback in Italy: "I congratulate the boys, the credit is entirely theirs. It's a fantastic group that puts everything they have at stake. They understand the moments of the game and what we aim to achieve this season. Now we have an important match on Tuesday, everything is open, and we will play our chance to the end.
I was calm. I was always on the road, and yesterday, during the official training, we prepared everything that could be prepared. We think game by game, aware that we can win and lose, but we must always give our best.
We have a squad of 24-25 players, plus those who help us from the Under 23 team. For me, there are no starters, all are important. Each one has qualities dedicated to the team. They feel involved and know how important their contribution is.
We have confidence and conviction that we can turn any result around. We created chances in the first leg, hitting the woodwork twice, then we were careless in a few quick transitions. But on Tuesday, we know we have to give it our all," said Cristi Chivu after the match, as quoted by the Italian newspaper Tuttomercatoweb.
AC Milan is 10 points behind Inter in the standings, but they have one less match to play.
