Inter-Bologna, Chivu: "The bets have no weight. Do I cancel it? I'm talking about my players."
Inter coach Cristian Chivu, in the press conference before the match against Bologna, applies to the 18th matchday of Serie A: "Bologna have a clear identity and in simple things they always manage to make it difficult for you".On controversies outside the field: "For me, all this has little impact. We should not look for pointless controversies that do not serve anything or anyone."they are Inter players"
The press conference of Chivu
This ends Kivu's press conference.
Are you happier than at the start of the season?Who is the favorite for the scudetto?
"I like it a little more, because I see normal things appearing among a thousand arguments that are not there. I like it a little more when there is a lot and too much talking about things that do not reflect the truth. These are things that do not encourage me and make me smile. The usual questions in the Scudetto from the first days of January. Here are the 5 teams that now have a chance to get 5 points."
In today's football, many actions are taken by exploiting the mistakes of the opponent.How do you work on this system?
"In today's football, when you steal the ball, you have more chances to score. For us, the decision to go for the opposition team has to do with the desire to clear the ball, play more vertically and attack a disorganized defensive line."
Are there conditions that allow De Vrij and Frattesi to get more playing time or are you afraid they may make another choice in January?
"I am not afraid of anything. I trust their professionalism. They are two important players, the choice is up to them. They are the first responsible for their presence on the field."
Inter spend a lot of money, is this what we need to improve?
"Awareness of the risk. When you go to apply some pressure, you risk jumping. You have to know how to react. The number of mistakes increases, and I saw someone say that Inter is a black team. But that's football. I want my players to be brave, always with the idea of catching the ball."
Will he move considering most of the games during this time?
"When we had a tight calendar, we always tried to change something, also based on the characteristics of the opponent. We need everyone, because playing every three days is not easy. The energy you use during a match is high. You have to find strength in the rotations to bring results."
Cancelo's name is circulating in the market.
"I prefer to talk about my players. I would like to mention Luis Henrique, Diouf, Darmian who will be back soon and Dumfries. I am a coach who is always realistic about the facts. That is what he can offer. I like this team. They are Inter players.
He seems to be free of off-field controversies.How much weight will these barbs from other teams carry at the end of the season?
"The way I see football, it has no weight. The way I grew up and matured in this sport. I've been through a lot, both as a player and as a coach. It doesn't affect me much. Football needs to be left alone, we can't go back to these pointless arguments that are not good for anything and anyone."
What else would you like to see this year?
"We have to do better. But this is something I have tried to convey from the beginning. Teams that want to be competitive always have to add something more. Without forgetting the sense of responsibility and ambition."
Will you achieve the first game of the year as you imagined?Why is beating Bologna so complicated?
"Bologna have a clear identity and they always manage to make you uncomfortable with simple things. They have players who can put you in trouble. In defense they come after you like a man, they have good timing and do things with a certain determination."
You finished 2025 at the top, tomorrow we start again with a tough opponent.Which game are you looking forward to?What responsibilities do you feel?
“It is a normal responsibility given the importance and value of the club."It will be a difficult match against a well-established opponent that will trouble many teams."

The latest in Bologna
The influence has passed to Cambiagi and therefore he is available again.The blue wing should, without surprises, regain his possession as an attacking midfielder on the left wing.Skoruspki is very close to returning, but at the San Siro he will have to touch Ravalia again.After returning to the bench (without a minute on the field) against Sassuolo, Freiller hopes that the Italiano will restart him.Argentina's problems lie ahead: Lautaro on one side and Castro on the other.Holm as a low winger and Odgaard as a central attacking midfielder can also find a place in the starting line-up.
Latest Inter
Kivu is recovering Acerbi, who returned to the group a few days ago.Darmian and Bonny are also close and the French hope to end up in Parma like the former great.The attack was led by the duo of Lautaro-Thuram and Pio Esposito, who could become a decisive factor during the match.At the back we will continue with Akanji in the center because Acerbi is available but playing time is being carefully measured at the moment.There are two small question marks in the five-man midfield: Luis Enrique remains favorite for now, but a variation on the theme is not included.In the middle, like Zielinski, having recovered from “just” cramps, he must defend against the return of Mkhitaryan.
