Football, Chivu: ‘Now ready for Tuesday, qualification still open’

Naples, 21 February (LaPresse) – “Today we had to make better use of set pieces. We had a lot of them, but in the first half we weren’t able to make the most of them. We have two extraordinary players who made the most of them and Federico Dimarco, who has a fantastic left foot, and we know we can do better in these situations. We are aware of the difficulties of every game and that no one gives us anything for free. The match in Bodø is proof of that. Now we have to be ready for Tuesday’s game, because qualification is still open.” These were the words of Inter coach Cristian Chivu after Lecce vs. Inter, which the Nerazzurri won 2-0 with goals from Mkhitaryan and Akanji. Chivu announced that Dumfries will be back in action tomorrow: ‘He has made some progress in recent weeks and will officially be back with the group tomorrow. Calhanoglu is also doing well and I think he will be back with the group on Monday,’ added the Romanian coach.
