Inter-Udinese DIRETTA set for Monday as Chivu seeks fresh win

Inter host Udinese on Monday at 20:45 in a live broadcast (Inter-Udinese DIRETTA) with accompanying photos, hoping to snap a run of mixed results and keep a perfect points tally in Serie A.

Intense week behind

The Nerazzurri came off a dramatic comeback win against Napoli before suffering a bitter defeat to Real in Madrid, leaving the squad eager to rebound at San Siro.

Chivu confronts criticism

Coach Roberto Chivu admitted, "I have seen a team bitter because it missed an opportunity in Madrid, even though we played a good game. We could have done better and we must improve."

He added, "Criticism? It is an old story – we are used to it, we do not think about it. Self‑esteem, confidence and daily work matter. Judgements will always be there, they are free, and we have a responsibility to grow."

Squad availability and fitness

Dimarco is back in training but his inclusion remains uncertain; Spence is still not ready. Chivu hinted that the final squad will be announced the next day. Calhanoglu is still recovering from a World Cup‑related injury, while Chakvetadze is finally fit and Jovanovic may also see minutes. The live feed will also feature FOTO.

Tactical philosophy

Chivu stressed that formation is secondary to approach, saying, "I do not care about the system, but how you face a match. Some teams start 4‑2‑3‑1 on paper and defend with six. What matters is intensity, defence and how you interpret situations."

He highlighted hunger, grit, attention and solidity as key, noting that playing with four at the back does not decide outcomes.

Udinese’s perspective

Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic praised Inter as the league’s best side, noting they have strengthened and that Chivu has revitalised the squad. He warned his team must run hard, stay lucid and use every tool to face Inter, despite a few injuries.

Inter will enter the match aware of the Torino‑Roma result and will look to either secure a solitary lead or prepare for a possible two‑way clash with the giallorossi, keeping their full‑points momentum alive.
