When asked about the clubâs identity and ambitions, Chivu was clear about expectations at San Siro.
âThis team has always tried to do something extraordinary and has always been competitive. When you coach Inter, you have to aim big. This team has shown how competitive it is, and that has always been our goal.â
He also addressed Interâs attacking style and evolution.
âGoals come when you are proactive. It depends on the opponent, but the most important thing is to play forward. It would be a shame not to use the individual quality of these players.

âI am lucky to coach a team I already knew. Nothing surprised me in terms of professionalism. What has impressed me most is the human side of the players and their sense of belonging. The unity has really struck me.â
Inter travel to Torino knowing a win would bring them closer to the Scudetto, with Chivuâs side still balancing ambition, pressure and squad management at a decisive stage of the season.
Finally, Chivu was asked about Aleksandar StankoviÄ, who has been linked with a return to Inter Milan this summer.
âWeâre moving beyond today, talking about the transfer market and the team heâll be playing for,â the coach said.
âWeâre following him closely; we know how much heâs done since leaving the Primavera where I was.
âHeâs like a son to me; Iâve known him since he was 4 or 5; we all know how much heâs grown in the last two years.
âIf we decided to give him experience in a competitive league, playing in the Champions League, it was to help him take a step consistent with his growth. When we talk about the transfer market, weâll have no hesitation in thinking about him.â
