Chivu after Inter-Como: "What mattered was reacting after the derby"

Inter beat Como 2-0 to bounce back after losing the Milan derby, with manager Chivu praising the team's intensity and tactical execution.

Inter defeated Como 2-0 in their final match before the international break, with manager Chivu emphasizing the importance of the response after their recent derby loss to Milan. Chivu told Sky Sport that the team raised their tempo and intensity, executing their tactical plan effectively.

He praised the attackers for disrupting Como's passing lanes and highlighted the team's compactness in defence. The manager acknowledged that over their demanding run of nine matches in 27 days, Inter could have performed better but also worse, and stressed the need to maintain ambition and mentality through a long season.

He noted this was a crucial reaction after the derby defeat, similar to how they responded following their Champions League loss to Bruges.
