"You can improve a squad even without bringing in new players. We tried to do something, but the January transfer market is very tricky. We had 23-24 players, but these great lads from the Under-23 side can give us a hand. We know who we are dealing with and the players we worked with. These are games where you need energy and fresh legs, so I chose the players who had energy."
"Don't forget we had a busy January and will have an even busier February. Stefano Vecchi is doing a great job as coach of the Under-23 side, and these lads are improving, so they can be of use to us throughout the season. We want to be competitive, to give a sense of consistency to what has been done in recent years. We keep going with belief, hard work, good performances, always aware that we can continue to improve."
Inter beat Torino 2-1 in a Coppa Italia quarter-final played in Monza, with 22-year-olds Ange-Yoan Bonny and Andy Diouf scoring. Cristian Chivu expressed confidence that the squad does not require January signings despite Denzel Dumfries’ injury and only one incoming player, Yanis Massolin, who was loaned back. Chivu emphasized that the club can improve using the existing 23–24 players and Under-23 talent to provide energy and fresh legs. Stefano Vecchi received praise for his work with the Under-23s. Inter lead Serie A by five points and face a busy February, including a Champions League play-off against Bodo/Glimt.
