The thoughts of the Inter Coach after the 5-1 win against Venezia in the Coppa Italia Round of 16


It ends 5-1 to Inter at San Siro in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. The Nerazzurri eliminated Venezia and moved onto the quarter-finals thanks to Thuram's brace and goals from Diouf, Esposito and Bonny. Cristian Chivu spoke at the end of the match:

“I am very happy. I liked the attitude and respect shown towards the opposition. I am happy for the boys and with what they showed: it's a group that knows what it has to do and which is giving consistency to the work done in these months. I am very happy with the performance and for those who made their debuts at San Siro. I'm also happy for Diouf: it was his first start and he scored. Lots of positives, I'm happy for everyone. The kudos goes to them, but also to those who welcomed them into the group. It's never easy entering an already solidified group and feel part of the team right away, Our players, who've been here for years, have integrated them very well. The group works hard and is growing, the journey will continue because there's still room for improvement. Yes, we're aware of our journey and what we want to achieve. We also know that there will be different moments that are more difficult, we will have to manage them. Frattesi is always ready. It was his turn today: he played 90 minutes and we know how much he can give us. I know that I can count on him as a decisive player for us.”
