Chivu ‘can’t let’ Inter ‘be affected by injustices’

Inter coach Cristian Chivu aims for a fresh start after a controversial 3-1 loss against Napoli: ‘We can’t let ourselves be affected by injustices or negative situations during a match.’

Inter host Fiorentina at San Siro this evening in Serie A Week 9.

The Nerazzurri lost 3-1 at Napoli over the weekend, ending a seven-game winning streak.

Inter complained about a penalty kick given to Napoli in the previous round, but received a firm reply from the Partenopei boss, Antonio Conte.

Chivu, however, is not focused on the past and sees a lesson for this team.

“There’s self-discipline that has to be improved. We can’t let ourselves be affected by injustices or negative situations during a match,” he told Sky via TMW.

“We can’t waste important moments, which determine the game’s outcome.”

Yann Aurel Bisseck starts in central defence tonight as both Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij are benched.

“I have many good defenders, some because of their experience, others because of what they’ve shown in recent years,” said Chivu.

“Bisseck is a valuable alternative. I already tested him in the middle of a three-man defence in Belgium and did well. He has the characteristics to play in that role.”
