'I Couldn't Find My Balance': Inter Coach Admits: I Am Responsible for This Disaster!

Cristian Chivu took responsibility for Inter's bitter defeat to Club Brugge.

According to "Sports Three", Inter players missed many opportunities one after the other, including the incalculable and bookable opportunity that Lautaro Martinez missed against Zommer, his former goalkeeper, and he was quite happy about it. How about another disaster from Josep Martinez that has everyone asking themselves if Inter really have a problem goalie or not. What about a bit of bad luck that caused this team to lose a bitter defeat in a little more than 10 minutes from a 1-2 advantage. However, there must be an underlying reason why this team has lost seven of their last eight matches in Europe's most prestigious club cup.

The forward-thinking, aggressive style that Kivu wants to play will expose this team to storms and wind. Inter are sometimes left defenseless against external factors and the hail can cause damage, just like what happened last night. The motto of the head coach is that this risk should be accepted, but there are days when this risk becomes too high and it may not be worth it anymore.

In short, Chivo's football leads Inter to decisive victories in Italy and even allows this team to make up for significant setbacks, but in Europe, the situation is different, when the opponent's level increases in terms of technique and speed, Inter falls a few steps. After the match, in response to criticism about the fragility of his team, Kivu said himself: "We were too tired and rushed, because of that we lost our distances and our balance, and after the second goal, everything went out of control."

He then admitted to a more general problem: "We know what's not going right in the Champions League. "There is an issue that we carry with us and I take responsibility for it first of all... In some matches I can't find the right balance."

The rest of the statistics add to the deterioration of the situation: for the first time in its history, Inter has experienced four consecutive defeats in the European Champions League, four consecutive defeats have also been recorded in the games held at the San Siro. The San Siro stadium outside of Italy is no longer a determining factor. The dream of winning the championship in Europe is now more like a fantasy. After getting zero points from two games, such a goal can no longer be considered realistic. Instead, it makes more sense to imagine being in a good position to advance from the playoffs.

However, Inter should improve their defensive phase as a whole; A defensive line that has conceded 14 goals in eight games this season. This problem is related to both individual performance and team structure. Kivu does not have central defenders who can cover the 50-meter space behind them, while the risky temperament of the goalkeeper can also become a problem at any moment.

"I can't say I'm not worried about the 14 goals we've conceded," Kivu continued. There are issues that need to be re-evaluated, especially in the Champions League. In this competition, when you fall behind, it's hard to get back into the game. We have to focus on keeping the balance of the team and finding the right gaps, maybe we could have done better in the preparation for this match. In terms of game intensity and technical quality, Serie A and Champions League are completely different. "We will try to change the situation in the next six games."

Then he talked about the future: "Without anger and determination, it is not possible to return to the game. "We want to take the initiative instead of reacting. Today, we lacked mental clarity and acted too hastily."
