“Cristian Chivu Has Given Inter A New Identity” – Roma Boss Praises Nerazzurri Coach Ahead Of Serie A Clash

Speaking to Sky Sport on the eve of Roma vs Inter, Gian Piero Gasperini was full of admiration for the early work of Cristian Chivu at the Nerazzurri, describing him as a coach who has already brought a fresh tactical identity and personality to the team.

“He’s a coach who’s immediately given Inter a different identity,” Gasperini said, with quotes via FCInterNews.

“Many still compare him to Inzaghi, but Chivu’s pressing is higher, and he focuses a lot on the team’s attacking ability.

“You can already see the differences – I really like what he’s doing. It wasn’t easy to take over from Inzaghi, but he’s doing it with quality and personality.”

The Roma boss also looked forward to a high-quality encounter at the Olimpico, confident both sides will play positive football.

“Let’s hope it’s a great advert for Italian football,” he said. “Both teams look for results through their style of play. The goal is to put on a good match.”
