Inter, Chivu sulks: "I don’t change because the people ask me to"

Inter Milan coach Cristian Civu spoke in a press conference on the eve of the match against Ajax. As expected the defeat to Juventus has overheated the atmosphere and in Amsterdam we need to win to avoid slipping into a crisis:”The team for me is strong and it proved it with Juventus as well. Looking only at the result then you can point fingers. We know what it means to lose the derby d’Italia but you also have to look at the things done well during the game. For me, little is missing to give continuity to what we are doing well. It”s all about results.

On Sommer’s difficulties: “I don’t feel like changing him just because the people are asking for it. I have great esteem for Martinez and he will get his chance and I also have esteem for Di Gennaro. Sommer must now also be supported humanly. I never talked about a goalkeeper change. It is not right to put Sommer in the square and throw stones at him. I don&#8217t think it”s good from a human point of view, and Sommer showed last year as well what he”

On the Lancers: “Ajax is not a sacrificial victim and has proven it internationally. The present maybe hasn&#8217t been up to it but they almost made a Champions final with Ten Haag and they played a Europa league final before that. It will be a tough game tomorrow in this stadium”.

In the press conference there was also Dumfries: “We lost two games, we didn&#8217t start the way we wanted to and we want to come back and do well. We want to start the Champions League on the right foot. Not having started well serves to motivate us for the future, tomorrow we want to win”.
