Chivu saw ‘mature’ Inter comeback triumph, aims cheeky Scudetto jab at rivals
Chivu saw ‘mature’ Inter comeback triumph, aims cheeky Scudetto jab at rivals Cristian Chivu admits Inter ‘suffered’ to beat Como 4-3 and saw ‘maturity’ from his team at 2-0 down, but aimed a cheeky Scudetto sideswipe at Antonio Conte and Max Allegri. The Nerazzurri really proved their Scudetto credentials this evening, because they were trailing 2-0 at the Stadio Sinigaglia to goals from Alex Valle and Nico Paz. However, braces by Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries turned it around to lead 4-2, then they held on under pressure after a late Lucas Da Cunha penalty for the final 4-3 result.

After the restart, we stepped up a gear, showed a bit of character, and we turned it around, though it was certainly not easy. ” Inter had already faced Como here last month in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, and were held to a 0-0 draw. Even without injured Lautaro Martinez, who asked to be on the bench this evening to be close to his teammates, Inter scored 102 goals in 46 competitive games this season.

We have great free kick takers and players who are strong in the air, so it would be a shame not to make the most of that. ” Considering how well the hosts had started, it was a remarkable turnaround, the second time they managed to a victory after going 2-0 down, although the other side was Pisa. “This was a victory of maturity, where we understood the moments of the match,” continued Chivu.
