Chivu Confident Ahead Of New Inter Milan Season: ‘This Group Has Proven That It Can Overcome Any Difficulties'
Cristian Chivu believes that this Inter Milan group has 'proven it can overcome any difficulties.' The new Nerazzurri coach gave his thoughts in a press conference ahead of the start of the new season, as reported by FCInterNews. Cristian Chivu is just a few weeks from the start of his first season as Inter Milan coach. The Romanian took over from Simone Inzaghi at the start of June after the latter's decision to step down in order to earn big at Al-Hilal. Chivu has already coached a few matches at the Club World Cup. But now, he will have a full preseason as well as several new signings in which to really put his stamp on the team. It won't be easy for Chivu. This Inter team endured the double bitter blow of losing out on the Serie A title by one point on the final day of last season, followed by a crushing 5-0 defeat at the hands of PSG in the Champions League final. Then, the Club World Cup wasn't much better. After some promising signs in the group stage, Inter suffered eliminating from the round of sixteen by Fluminense. And that brought some tensions in the team to the surface. After the match, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez all but called out Hakan Calhanoglu over recent transfer rumours. Martinez spoke passionately, imploring 'whoever wants to leave, leave.' The outburst from the captain showed the real scale of Chivu's task getting this Inter team ready for the new season.

(Photo by) As far as what he needs from his players, new Inter coach Cristian Chivu emphasized 'integrity and the desire to overcome everything.' 'The desire to overcome difficult moments. This group has already proven that they can do that, that they can even overcome the worst difficulties.' 'Because that's the only way we can move forward,' Chivu said. 'And fight for titles.' 'We never look back, or look to the past,' said the new Inter coach of how the team can put the end of last campaign behind them. 'We're not looking for revenge. But we're focusing on the present, to build the future.' Chivu noted that 'we've inherited a situation built over several years, in which Inter has always been at the top, whether we win titles or not.' 'We'll do our best,' the Romanian promised. 'Giving our all to achieve our goals.' Then, the Inter coach noted that 'in words everything is simple.' 'But in reality, everything is harder. But this group of players has shown over time that they're united, and have a desire to make an impact.' Chivu stressed that Inter want to 'remain at the top of Italian, European, and world football.'

(Photo by) Meanwhile, Chivu gave a preview of what his tactical approach will be like at Inter. This amid reports that the 44-year-old has been working to implement a switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. 'These are numbers,' said the coach. 'But principles are what matter. And our intention is to be aggressive, vertical, and balance.' 'And to achieve results through the moments in a match, and in a season,' added the new Nerazzurri coach. Chivu spoke about having 'the right spirit to maintain and remain a competitive team.' 'That's our goal,' the coach made clear. 'The expectations have been the same since this team was founded,' he went on. 'To always be competitive, to establish an identity, and to maintain loyalty and passion to achieve our goals.' 'I believe that what this group has achieved in the last few years is a testament to what we've created so far,' the coach continued. 'A winning team that reaches two Champions League finals and one Europa League final is proof of a solid group.' Chivu Declares 'We Don't Need To Copy Anyone' PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, reacts following the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) Meanwhile, Chivu stated that 'we don't need to copy anyone.' 'Nor make any slogans,' he added. 'We just want to stay competitive.' However, the coach did add that 'this will be an Inter that tries to be more unpredictable and hybrid.' 'And they're capable of it,' Chivu was confident. 'We can adapt to football matches.' And Chivu also spoke about how Inter managed to digest the disappointing end of last season. 'We were in Charlotte,' recalled the coach. 'There was a discussion about things that happened but weren't said.' 'These things are a part of every dressing room,' he added. 'And part of a group that has a strong desire to win.' 'The group needs a bit of clarity now and then,' he concluded.

Inter Milan President Marotta Urges Caution On Lookman Rumours: ‘There's A Whole Month To Go In The Transfer Window'
Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta is not pouring fuel on the fire of links with Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri President addressed the transfer rumours in Inter's preseason press conference, as reported by FCInterNews. He stressed that 'there's a whole month left to go' in the window. Inter Milan have made Atalanta's Ademola Lookman their priority target. The Nerazzurri made an offer of €40 million for the Nigerian earlier this month. However, Atalanta rejected this initial bid – giving Inter a counteroffer of €50 million. However, that has not deterred Inter. Far from it – they are aiming to return with another offer very soon. Or at least, that is what reports have suggested in the last couple weeks. Inter President Marotta Urges Caution On Ademola Lookman Links VERONA, ITALY – NOVEMBER 23: Giuseppe Marotta of FC Internazionale during the Serie A match between Verona and FC Internazionale at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on November 23, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta noted that 'there's still a whole month left to go in the transfer window.' 'I make no secret of the fact that I think Lookman is a great player,' he hinted coyly. 'Both from the recommendation of our scouting teach and also the coach.' 'He's certainly not a player we're just discovering now. I think he's a player on the radar of every big club, not just in Italy, but in Europe.' 'But he's still an Atalanta player right now,' Marotta made clear of Lookman. 'We have the utmost respect for Atalanta. And we'd be remiss if we were to interfere with them.' The Inter President made clear that 'we have a great relationship with the Percassi family and the new ownership.' 'I won't deny that I've exchanged some words with Luca Percassi,' Marotta once again hinted at the talks for Lookman. 'And that's part of how it goes, I think. You always raise the bar.' 'You can't be afraid to ask about good players,' he hinted. 'So that's what I can tell you.' 'But it's premature to know what will end up happening. However, he's one of the players on the shortlist of the directors, Ausilio, Baccin, myself, and the ownership. That's true.' This Week 'Could Be Decisive' for Lookman – But Inter 'Are Looking At Other Names' BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 25: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Parma Calcio 1913 at Gewiss Stadium on May 25, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Asked if this week could be decisive for Inter's pursuit of , Marotta replied 'yes, certainly.' 'Because the coach and I are sharing the search for players with a certain versatility, and who can allow him to play with a new system and formation.' 'So clearly, he has a profile that suits that model. But he's not the only one.' Marotta stated that Inter 'are looking at other names.' 'And I don't deny that within 2-3 days, we'll reach a conclusion to the talks between Inter and Atalanta.' 'If the conditions are right and Atalanta are ready to sell him, obviously we'll try to start concrete negotiations and maybe wrap up a deal.' 'Otherwise, it will be someone else,' Marotta said. Then, the Inter President spoke about the fact that Lookman, who turns 28 in the autumn, isn't exactly a young player like the club have mostly been trying to sign. 'We all agree that, in football, you rarely win just with eleven talented players,' he said. 'Along with talent, you need experience. And you need very strong character.' Marotta conceded that 'Lookman isn't a player you can sell on for a profit.' 'But he can give us the edge with his quality. He's not a player that I've just discovered, but a good player can also help the young players around him develop.' 'A mixture of younger and more experienced players adds value to the squad,' Marotta declared.
