Chivu: ‘It’s all or nothing’ for Inter and Como in Coppa Italia semi final

“It will be difficult both for us and for them, as we’ve seen in every match against Como, because they are well-trained, know how to do many different things, and are versatile.”

These teams met at the Stadio Sinigaglia in Serie A on April 12, with Inter fighting back from 2-0 down to beat Como 4-3 and go 12 points clear at the top of the table.

Denzel Dumfries scored twice in that match, but he is on the bench tonight, as Luis Henrique steps in.

As they are 12 points clear at the top of the table, Inter could yet achieve the Double of Scudetto and Coppa Italia glory in the same season.

“We tried from the start to give a sense of consistency to the work, to be competitive to the end and give ourselves the opportunity to achieve certain things by the final weeks of the campaign,” added Chivu.

“We hit that mark, we’re here, and we’ll fight to the end.”
