Chivu: “We are ready to offer the best version of Inter and pass the round”

The American rose that loses pieces, the asphyxiating heat, its Inter that seems to have clicked, the doubts of formation against the flon and also some thoughts for those old wolves of the sea of ​​Brazilians. Cristian Chivu, on the eve of the round of 16, browsed the daisy inside the Bank of America Stadium where it will be played tomorrow at 15 rooms (the Italians Italian): “We are ready to climb level, we came here to honor the tournament and what the company represents in the world -said the Nerazzurri technician immediately -. We also had a few days of rest and we are ready. Of course, it was more fresh on the west coast, To present the best version of ourselves to the world and to pass the round “. It is useless, however, trying to tease him with the formation: “Marcus Thuram has trained with us since we came here in Charlotte. He made two good training and disposed of the pain, then he will be up to me to choose whether to start from the beginning …”. Other words, however, on the difficulties that are now there to see Davide Frattesi leave for Italy, the fifth of the company to say goodbye due to injury: “When we started from Milan we thought of the unexpected events bringing more players and aggregating guys from spring, they allowed us to raise the level because they immediately fell into the competition. In football the injuries captain, some players carry with the problems, someone has managed to recover, They did it as a frattesi and we decided to postpone them to Milan for investigations, also to avoid creating noises that would not have done well to them or to the group. Bonny, an interista in pectore, already has the suitcase in his hand.

Thiago and Flu

The challenge to the Brazilians is also that of an old acquaintance in Milan, even if in the Rossoneri shirt: “Thiago Silva has had and is having a crazy career, he is one of the best defenders in the history of football, I have always appreciated him. He is a great defender and also a splendid person, for me in the last 30 years he can be easily considered among the best of his role”. The Romanian coach focused abundantly on the Fluminense, a very dangerous team and on the new certainties found during the tournament: “Our rivals have quality, experience and intensity, but the game with River has been very useful from this point of view for us, we had to raise the rpm on the field. Tomorrow it will be more or less the same thing, we will have to be ready. We will have to immediately get away in what the game will offer me. That we will be ready and up to it. they manage to do. “

Watch out for lightning

In this stage the memory of the two hours spent in the changing rooms yesterday by Chelsea and Benfica is fresh and the lightning risk always hovers in the air. The last words Chivu gave them on this possible alert, which frightens it for a thousand reasons: “I hope that for tomorrow, in any case, make a decision before the game. If you go to the stadium and then they tell us that we have to wait two hours, it becomes difficult for the preparation … they are to be considered so many details, how and when you eat, how and when you drink: we are professional athletes and to express ourselves for 120 ‘we must be ready under all views. There is really an alert, you decide first so that it does not affect the quality of the game and the preparation of the players “.
