Inter, Cristian Chivu: "Penalties cannot be coached"

Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu at the microphones of Italia 1 commented on the’elimination from the Italian Super Cup with Bologna, suffered because of mistakes from the penalty spot.

“Penalty kicks are a lottery, you cannot coach them. All I need is the personality and the courage to raise my arm and say, I want to kick it. Then you can make a mistake… I take courage and personality from these champions, especially in the second half, where they put intensity and running, things I always want to see from my team”.

“L’arbitro? I don&#8217t talk about that. They have the Var to review things, I talk about the performance and my group. I worry about what we have to do, how to grow and improve. A coach has to do that. You can make mistakes, it happens to everyone, I have nothing to recriminate”.

“Football is like that, if you don&#8217t score goals you get to penalty kicks and there it&#8217s a lottery. I didn&#8217t think about the final. It was on the’eighth game in 20 days and he played them all. The commitments are many, it”s the management of a group.
