Inter Milan President Marotta Declares ‘Chivu Will Do Well’ – Adds ‘Our Transfer Window Is Already In Line With Our Ambitions’ | OneFootball

Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta believes Cristian Chivu will do well as coach, and says the club’s transfer window is “in line with our ambitions.”

The Nerazzurri President spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after today’s Champions League league phase draw.

Inter Milan learned who their first eight opponents in the Champions League will be today.

Among the most high profile teams that the Nerazzurri have drawn are Liverpool, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid.

Last season, Inter had the best defensive record in the entire league phase. They managed to go the entire eight matches conceding only one goal.

This time out, there have been big changes at Inter, though. The Nerazzurri have lost coach Simone Inzaghi, with Cristian Chivu coming in to replace him.

This will be the Romanian’s first time coaching in the Champions League.

Inter President Beppe Marotta gave his thoughts on Chivu in the Champions League. “It’s certainly his first experience in it as a coach,” he said.

“But he’s won the competition as a player. So he has experience, and he knows how to deal with opponents.”

“We know that this new format is difficult,” Marotta continued.

“Because on paper there are easy opponents, and those that are not so easy. But the important thing is to face all of them at the right time, and in the right mental and physical form.”

Then, Marotta gave his thoughts on Inter’s transfer window. “We’ve implemented a different model than in the recent past,” he commented.

“We’ve invest in five young players,” the Nerazzurri President continued. “Four of whom we signed, and one who came through the youth academy and we brought back.”

“Their average age is 21.4,” Marotta noted.

“It’s a new model, and it’s in line with the guidelines of the owners and the clubs,” the Inter President said.

“We have a young coach, but who still has experience. And as a result, I believe that the squad at our disposal is absolutely in line with our ambitions and goals.”
