On September 20, Beijing time (CEST), in the Serie A Matchday 5 encounter, Inter Milan came from two goals down for the fourth consecutive match. Ultimately, they managed to salvage a 2-2 draw away at Roma, thanks to two goals from Lautaro. Chivu attended the post-match press conference.

"We still have work to do. In football, both attack and defense must be balanced. What went wrong with Inter? I want to discuss the team's reaction first. I hope everyone understands which aspects need improvement. When you talk about squad depth, you can see how much impact substitute players have. We could perhaps have made changes earlier, but I'm satisfied with how the players performed after coming off the bench; they managed to turn things around and played a decisive role. When they show their best performance, I will congratulate everyone. Today we needed a contribution from the entire squad, and they proved it through their actions," Chivu said.

Let's talk about individual player performances. Josep Martínez's crucial save rescued the team. How do you assess Curtis Jones's performance in his first start?

"Like the entire team, he could and should have performed better. I analyze the whole team, not individuals. We still have a lot of work ahead; this is a long journey. We need to make up for what was lacking, and we know where the problems are—those small details. We are confident we won't make the same mistakes again."

You avoided defeat. Could this comeback become a double-edged sword, leading to complacency in upcoming matches?

"I don't think any player will think like that. We need to improve some specific details while recognizing that football involves attacking and defending phases. I'm referring to many aspects of the game that could be done better, although Roma's performance didn't surprise me; they have everything to make it difficult for us. We shouldn't wait until we're forced to react; we have the ability to execute our game plan. Even though we didn't look as strong or as physically aggressive, we must strive to play our style from the start."

The tempo and intensity of this match matched the Premier League.

"I think both the intensity and quality of play have improved. There are different phases to a match, but I believe the way Italians approach football is changing. People will certainly say that teams conceding too many goals is a problem, which is not without reason, because football is about balance. However, I really like the current situation; new rules have injected more vitality into the game, and now the tempo of play continues at a much faster pace. We experienced it firsthand today. I enjoy this change, and I'm confident we're on the right track. We must accept that matches can end with scores like 5-3, 4-2, or even 4-4."
