"The positives are the victory, as we really needed this, and it was also a good performance," "We could've killed the game off earlier, but we were up against a goalkeeper having a remarkable night. The most important thing was to win tonight. When they score late on, inevitably that creates tension, but we tried to play our football and create chances. We suffered to the end and that's a good thing."
"I think the team can do better, we can move the ball faster, attack the space better, though obviously it's not easy when the opposition sits deep in defence. We showed character, determination, the right attitude, and there was some quality too. We created the opportunities to seal the win earlier, but the goalkeeper made so many good saves. But Chivu's side were able to hold on, picking up their 14th win in Serie A in 2025."
Cristian Chivu demanded Inter rediscover a killer instinct in the final third after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Sassuolo. Federico Dimarco opened the scoring in the 14th minute after a composed finish from a flowing move. Carlos Augusto's strike deflected in off Tarik Muharemovic in the 81st minute to double the lead, but Walid Cheddira reduced the deficit and Domenico Berardi threatened a late equaliser. Inter held on for their 14th Serie A win of 2025. Chivu praised character and determination but called for quicker ball movement, better exploitation of space, and greater clinicality in attack.
