Building From Base Of Italian Internationals Key For Cristian Chivu To Succeed At Inter Milan | OneFootball

Building from a base of Italian internationals will be key for Cristian Chivu to succeed at Inter Milan next season.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Cristian Chivu will certainly have his work cut out for him as Inter Milan coach.

The Romanian will have to get the team back on track mentally after a turbulent, and in the end devastating, few months.

The Nerazzurri can’t simply slip out of the hunt for trophies. But at the same time, there is a sense that they must refresh and start a new cycle, and build for the future.

In the view of the Gazzetta, there is a particular core of players Cristian Chivu must win the trust of at Inter.

The Nerazzurri have put together a solid core of Italian internationals in the last half a decade.

In particular, Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, and Nicolo Barella are all key figures.

In the dressing room, these Azzurri players are certainly leaders for Inter.

And if Chivu can establish a strong rapport with these players, it will be exactly the right foot on which to start his work.
