The coach of the Nerazzurilor, Cristi Chivu (44 years old), made “dirty” statements on the eve of the decisive match with River Plate, from the Club World Cup: “Now we no longer have to look at the results. The champions of this team know that sometimes you have to blow your sleeves and eat some shit … and not just crush it”.
Chivu doesn’t keep up with words
“You have to eat some shit … and it must be well chewed“, Said Cristian Chivu at the press conference before the game with River Plate. He spoke so using a style figure about the bitter period crossed by his team, humiliated in the Champions League final, 0-5 with PSG.
Then he raised his morale: “This is a group of champions that have demonstrated all their mentality, strength and motivation in the last five years. I know what what matters is tomorrow, always the next match. I told the boys not to read too much, not to listen to anything.
Maybe they listened to me, if you see a more relaxed atmosphere at workouts. A month has passed from Munich and yet I still see references to that match every day. I used something very important: finding humanity, little kindness and care to quickly forget what life offers, even when it comes to bad moments. But when you have men near men who are not looking for questions elsewhere, everything is simpler”.
“The champions know they have to rip their sleeves and sometimes they have to eat some shit … not just to piss it”, The resistant insisted.
The Inter-River match is Thursday, from 4.00 in Romania. Inter has 4 points in Group E, like River, while Monterrey has two points, and Urawa – none. The first two ranked go on in the competition.
