but by whom? Sage of the mountain, he is cryptic”

He never sent word to them this time either. On the eve of Atalanta-Inter live on TV Paolo I condo had criticized Christian Chivu because of some of his statements in the press conference. The Nerazzurri coach, before facing the Bergamo players, declared: “I accept being painted and labeled, I also accept the distortion of reality. I know who I am, my loyalty is strong. I know what I can bring to the table, I sit at the table with people who stimulate me. But I’m not afraid of being alone at the table either. I accepted that this is the job of a coach, especially at Inter. But my dignity is not for sale, I will never change, I am loyal and I know what I have done to be in an ambitious team, which does everything to achieve our goal“.

Chivu, Condò’s attack

Words that didn’t go down well with Condò. The journalist commented: “What did Chivu want to say in the press conference? I do not know. We’ve liked him from day one because he has this mountain sage speech, which is beautiful, but lately he’s been more cryptic. But who is it that questioned his dignity? What is the distortion of reality you are talking about? If we say that in the direct clashes so far he has struggled, it is not a distortion of reality.”

Atalanta-Inter, the commentary

In Bergamo, Inter won 1-0 with the decisive goal from Lautaro Martinez and Condò also commented on the Nerazzurri’s performance: “Inter dominated but emerged in the first half, a balanced match in the second half, when Atalanta thought that the plan to let their bête noire vent and collect the remains at sunset was going swimmingly. Instead, it was Inter who exceeded their limits, and the value of their rival, seeing them so distant is an absurdity, means that after Rome this is the second direct clash brought home.”
