Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu spoke on the eve of the Champions League match against Liverpool: the Nerazzurri, who just swept Como in the league, face the English champions who, on the other hand, have lost all the certainties of last season and are struggling in the Premier League. Chivu is not confident: “Last year they won the Premier, they started well this year and then had difficulties. But they are built for it, they have individual and collective value and we want to give intensity and do as they do. They have history and culture, they are born that way because of the way soccer is experienced in England”.

Liverpool legend puts Slot under indictment after yet another defeat

The Reds coach is criticized after defeat and'elimination from the Carabao Cup
Liverpool lost six of the last seven games and ended up in a serious crisis
On Wednesday night they succumbed 3-0 against Crystal Palace
Among the harshest critics of Arne Slot is Reds legend Jamie Redknapp, who accused the Dutch coach of fielding too many youngsters, without even bringing stars to the bench
"He got the team completely wrong, no doubt about it", said the'Sky Sports pundit
"So he did not make things easy for the young players who debuted"

"I did not believe for a second that they could beat Crystal Palace, with that team and with that bench"

Slot defended itself like this: "This club has always used this competition to enhance youth"
"It seemed like the right decision and I did not change my mind after the result"

Salah is reportedly at loggerheads with Reds coach Arne Slot: “I don&#8217t talk about other people&#8217s problems, we have ours too. We know what Salah represents to world soccer, we know his value and what he has given. We know that there are players ready to replace him, their level will still remain high the same. There’s a team, there&#8217s not just the player. We have to worry about Liverpool as a team, not as a collective. Akanji? Manuel did not train today because he is not well, we will see tomorrow. Acerbi I think is the defender with the most minutes, along with Bastoni and Akanji himself. Bisseck has started to show what we expected, because there&#8217s a need for everyone”s contribution and lately he has been playing more”.

Still on Liverpool: “In words it&#8220s all easy, on the board and on screen too. The problem is when you have to bring something on the field that allows you to give force to the words. We all know about Liverpool’s intensity, the quality they have, both individually and collectively. Inter have carried Italy&#8217s flag high around the world for so many years: you don&#8217t reach two Champions League finals and a Europa League final in five years so easily, and it should be extolled. An Italian team playing like this deserves some praise, apart from the final result” he pointed out.

L’Inter currently occupies second position in the Champions League standings, paired with PSG, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Liverpool is 13th on 9 points.
