Chivu: ‘Union Saint Gilloise are an aggressive team, Inter are ready’

Milan, 20 October (LaPresse) – ‘I always ask the team for responsibility, happiness and passion. We must honour this competition, which we know is very important. Right now, we are only thinking about this match and not Napoli.’ This is what Inter coach Cristian Chivu said to Sky Sport on the eve of the Champions League match against Belgian side Union Saint Gilloise. “I wasn’t bad then and I’m not better now, but when you win, everything becomes easier and you get excited. But I don’t like it, because I know it doesn’t take much to fall again. I’m happy with what the lads are doing because they deserve it and they have the ambition to stay at the level they’ve always been at,‘ he added. Speaking about the opponents, Chivu said: ’Even though they’ve changed coach, they’re a team with an identity, they’re aggressive, they already have three points in the Champions League and they’re top of the league. They’ve got pace and physicality, and we’ll have to be good at avoiding their aggression.”
