On September 15, Beijing time (CEST), Inter Milan staged a comeback from 0-2 down to win 5-3 at home against Udinese in the fourth round of Serie A, topping the league table with four wins from four matches. Following the match, Chivu was interviewed by DAZN.

"Squad rotation? This is the right approach because it's a long season. We play every three or four days, and we need every player. We have a strong and talented squad. Our job is to keep everyone ready, including those who returned late from preseason, and to ensure everyone feels happy and like they're a vital part of the team's plans. This is very important."

"Last season's experience taught us we need everyone. As a coach, my priority is making sure everyone feels involved. It's nice to see Boni score again, and it's also good to see Mkhitaryan and Stones as starters. The key is finding the right balance, because everyone will play an important role. Stones' injury? I don't yet know his exact condition; he needs to be assessed because he felt discomfort in his hamstring."

Why has the team fallen behind early in the last three matches?

"If you analyze it carefully, the problem ultimately comes down to individual errors—look at the second goal we conceded today. But this is relatively easy to fix, and I'm not worried. The only thing that bothers me is that perhaps I haven't fully conveyed our game strategy yet. We started slowly and lacked intensity, only reacting once we fell 0-2 behind. In situations like that, match results are often unpredictable. But there's a certain quality in this team's DNA—a sense of pride and the ability to execute the tactics we should have played from the start."

"We need to improve specific areas; I won't publicly criticize players' shortcomings. We'll definitely conduct thorough analysis, as we always do after every match, even when the team plays well or doesn't concede. Internal discussions will remain within the team, but what reassures me is that we always maintain our style, never give up mentally, and stick to what we do best. One day, we'll have a match where we play perfectly from the start, so we won't have to go through this ordeal again."

So far, many players have scored and attempted long-range shots. How is the team progressing in implementing your football philosophy?

"We've made a lot of effort with immediate pressing after losing the ball, compressing the opponent's space, dealing with low blocks, and defensive positioning. Although we still have room for improvement—we're not perfect after all, and every match will present opportunities for opponents. But I greatly appreciate the positive attitude and mentality shown by the players in carrying out their tasks, their quick acceptance of tactical adjustments, and the confidence they've demonstrated both individually and as a team. These are important factors that can't be overlooked and often play a decisive role."

"As the season progresses, we'll have time to adapt, but for now, we need to recognize the positive aspects of this match—there were indeed many highlights. Facing a well-organized, physically strong, and disciplined team, we certainly struggled in the first 25 minutes, but the team responded well and ultimately managed to win the match."
