"The important thing is to maintain the attitude and mentality we had in the first game of the Championship. Then, there are other things to maintain and improve, but the fundamental things are the attitude and mentality that you need to have from the start. [On Sunday] The team must not make mistakes in their attitude, they must have the right mentality, wickedness and aggression, but also the quality that we have."
"Udinese are also very structured from a physical point of view. They have shown good things in mobility and flexibility. They have a structured midfield, but also a lot of quality. This year, they have changed the system, but the characteristics of the players are always the same, and it is always difficult to face a team like this."
Cristian Chivu emphasized maintaining the attitude and mentality from Inter's opening 5-0 victory as the team prepares to host Udinese. Inter began the Scudetto campaign with a rare five-goal opening win, propelled by Marcus Thuram's two goals, and produced an xG of 1.59 from 20 shots versus Torino's 0.94 from 12 attempts. Chivu demanded continued aggression, wickedness and quality while warning against attitude mistakes. He described Udinese as physically structured, mobile and flexible with a structured midfield and quality players, and noted their system has changed this year despite similar player characteristics. Chivu also acknowledged potential formation adjustments ahead of Champions League commitments.
