Inter boss Chivu admits to having 'great respect' for rivals Milan and Juventus
"Chivu is having an excellent first season in charge of Inter, a club that he represented as a player for many years. Some had concerns about his lack of top flight coaching experience, and yet he has the Nerazzurri eight points clear at the top, albeit with Milan having a game in hand. If the Rossoneri beat Pisa tonight that will become five points, adding a bit of pressure ahead of their game against the Bianconeri."
""I have great respect for all teams, including our rivals [Juventus and Milan]. The secret is to have good balance: you have to play the same way against everyone, whether it's Milan, Juve, or Ascoli, always maintaining respect," he said (via MilanPress). "Will it be a final blow in the event of a victory? The season is long. A win or a defeat would make the difference, just on a mental level. The race is still long.""
Chivu is delivering an impressive first season as Inter coach after a long playing career with the club. Early concerns over his lack of top-flight coaching experience have been eased as Inter sit eight points clear at the top, though Milan have a game in hand. If Milan beat Pisa, the gap would reduce to five points and increase pressure before their match with Juventus; Napoli hosting Roma could also influence standings. Chivu spoke ahead of Inter v Juventus, stressing respect for all opponents, tactical balance, consistent approach, and that the season and title race remain long.
