âThose who came off the bench today understood the moment and what needed to be done, so Diouf, Sucic and Pio Esposito all did their part and showed courage. This is a team that all want to be competitive all the way.â
It was unexpected that not only did Denzel Dumfries not start, but he also didnât come on initially to replace Luis Henrique, as instead Andy Diouf was used there.
âDenzel has a fitness problem, he said he could manage the final minutes, but he felt pain in his tendon. Seeing how things were going, he said he was ready to give it a go, and Iâm pleased to see the players willing to give their all for the club. We caused problems for Como out wide, Diouf did well on the right and the left.â

The Nerazzurri are on track for a Double, as they are 12 points clear at the top of the Serie A table, and now will face either Lazio or Atalanta in the Coppa Italia Final on May 13.
âWe earned our place here with hard work, putting ourselves in a position that allows us to dream, to achieve the targets of the Serie A title and Coppa Italia trophy,â added Chivu.
It is remarkable that both in Serie A on April 12 and again this evening, Inter came back from 2-0 down to beat Como within 90 minutes.
âWe were aware of what Como are doing, and we managed to put a lot of goals past one of the best defensive records in Italy. These lads care so much about the good of Inter that they fight this hard to turn it around.
âOverturning a 2-0 deficit against Como twice in 10 days, only the Pazza Inter can do that.â
This is the return of the old nickname âCrazy Interâ that had been used in the past, but largely shelved under Antonio Conte and then Simone Inzaghiâs tenures, as they preferred seeking stability to these wild ups and downs.

The only time Inter ever won the Coppa Italia-Serie A double before was under Jose Mourinho when taking the Treble in 2010, with the Romanian in the squad, so how does Chivu feel about being compared to the Special One?
âItâs because you in the media like headlines, but I am just Cristian, my only responsibility is to these lads. I just try to do my job in the best way for those who believed in me, for these wonderful lads, and hope to bring home some of our objectives,â shrugged the former defender.
