Chivu: Inter played as a team, last 9 matches could have been better

Inter beat Como 2-0 in Serie A. Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram scored within the first 20 minutes. Holding their two-goal lead until the end, Inter took the three points when the final whistle blew.

Speaking after the match, Cristian Chivu said his team had put in a "magnificent" performance. Noting that the players had played as a team, Chivu said the last nine matches could have gone better, though they could also have been worse.

Chivu reminded everyone that the last nine matches had been played over 27 days. He said this intensity had drained a lot of energy and led to ups and downs. He stressed that the team had to move on after the derby defeat to Milan.

Chivu said the players were questioning each other both on and off the pitch and were pulling in the same direction. He also addressed the reactions following the derby and the Club Brugge match.
