Maicon about Chivu’s team: Difficult
Cristi Chivu was the choice for many surprising of Inter for Inter coach after Simone Inzaghi’s departure to Al Hilal, in Saudi Arabia.
The surprise comes from the fact that the experience of the Romanian at the series of technical bank in Serie A is limited only to the middle of the second part of last season at Parma, where he managed to save the team from relegation.
Chivu had taken over the parma on the relegation place, but in the end the team with two Romanians in the lot, Dennis Man and Valentin Mihăilă, kept his place in the first step and immediately the management of the club offered a new contract to Chivu, much financially improved. It seemed that the business was like an end, but the proposal from Inter was coming at a high speed and, although he knows he was very risky, Cristi could not say no.
A former teammate for five years, the Brazilian Maicon, spoke at large about the Romanian for Gazzetta dello Sportbeing convinced that he will succeed as a coach, as he did as a player in Milan.
« He is the right man, absolutely. I am subjective because we have gone through a lot together. I wish him all the best, but I really think he has professional and human qualities to start a victorious path. Of course, he will have a difficult mission, it is not easy, because the pain after the Champions League final is huge.
I am familiar with this feeling, because I lost 7-1 against Germany in a World Cup held at home… But if there is a man who knows how to recover after hard times, he is Cristian Chivu.
A quality of him is the fact that he is loyal, something that every player wants from a coach. He says things by name, he does not deny you, he really gets angry if necessary: in a locker room you have to directly attack the problems ”.
Inter will play this night the first official match with Chivu on the bench, at the clubs CM, the opponent being the Mexican team Monterrey, where the leader is the former Spanish international Sergio Ramos.
