Chivu: Inter Hopeful Ahead of Feyenoord Clash in Champions League Race
Inter coach Cristian Chivu said his team is still in the Champions League race. Chivu believes his players will respond well to Saturday's Milan derby defeat in Tuesday's match against Feyenoord.
Chivu stressed that Inter are "still in the race" in the Champions League. The head coach said he trusts his players to produce a good performance in Tuesday's match as a response to the defeat in Saturday's Milan derby.
Inter lost 3-1 to Milan on Saturday, their first defeat of the season in Serie A. In Europe, they have three points from three matches. The team secured a late win over Shakhtar Donetsk but lost to Real Madrid and Club Brugge.
Chivu believes around 16 points will be enough to finish in the top eight and reach the last 16. The match will kick off at 21:00 CET at De Kuip in Rotterdam. Chivu said he considers Feyenoord dangerous, noting that they are strong at home and that players such as Moussa and Zequiel stand out. Recalling that Feyenoord had previously beaten Como at home, Chivu stressed that the opponent is strong in intensity and quality. Chivu also said that Provedel and Pavard have returned to the squad and that no serious problems have arisen in recent days.
