Super Cup, Chivu: ‘Perhaps we didn't deserve to be here, but we're taking advantage of the new format.’

Rome, 18 December (LaPresse) – "Can this trophy be a turning point to erase the past? It's a trophy. We promised ourselves to fight tooth and nail, to play with determination and desire every day. This is a team that still has a lot to give. It's ambitious. Perhaps we didn't deserve to be here, but we're taking advantage of the new format. Usually, the Italian champions and Coppa Italia winners play. They've given us and Milan a gift, and we'll play our best.β€˜ So said Inter coach Cristian Chivu on the eve of the Super Cup semi-final against Bologna in Riyadh. ’It's a pleasure and an honour to coach this group. They have put themselves out there despite difficulties and some bitterness. It's a united group, they have plenty of desire. They are hungry. As a staff, we have done everything to restore confidence, self-esteem, passion and joy for this game, which is sometimes wonderful and sometimes cruel. But we always move forward with our heads held high," he added.
