Cristian Chivu<\/a> said.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s the first leg, and we have to show maturity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are two crucial matches. It will be difficult because of the synthetic pitch, the climate, and the speed of the surface, which changes a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201dThat\u2019s why we chose to hold our official training session here, to get used to everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know how important this game is, and we must be ready to accept any conditions, even when they\u2019re not in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have what we deserve,\u201d Chivu added. \u201cBut we weren\u2019t able to do better in some matches. We were one point short.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ambition is to reach the Round of 16 and we\u2019ll do everything to be there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve recovered energy after the Juve game and hope we didn\u2019t spend too much.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know this is a different competition where you must be at 100%.<\/p>\n
\u201cBastoni? I described what I saw on the pitch. If I offended anyone or if Spalletti thinks I was wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could apologize, but I didn\u2019t want to put Kalulu in a difficult position. I said what you see in a split-second situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you extend your arm while already booked, you risk putting the referee in a position to make decisions that sometimes aren\u2019t favorable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu addressed the Derby d\u2019Italia controversy ahead of tonight\u2019s UEFA Champions League clash against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297389,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[150601,150598,150599,85,120875,46,19683,122433,122437,150600,105,150602,19687],"class_list":["post-297388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-alessandro-bastoni","tag-cristian-chivu","tag-derby-ditalia","tag-il","tag-inter-milan","tag-israel","tag-juventus","tag-luciano-spalletti","tag-pierre-kalulu","tag-sends-message","tag-sports","tag-ss-lazio","tag-uefa-champions-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
