According to a Sky Sport Italia journalist, Internazionale assistant coach Riccardo Chivu's absence from the pre-match press conference ahead of Inter's clash against Roma is not related to protecting goalkeeper Josep Martínez.

Matteo Barzaghi, a Sky Sport Italia journalist, spoke on Radio Mana Mana Sport about the reason for Chivu's absence from the pre-match press conference.

Barzaghi stated: "Not holding a press conference to protect Martínez? I don't think those two things are related. Chivu didn't attend because the club felt he had too much media exposure recently. Whether it's in the Champions League or the league, he was speaking too much, and the club decided it was better not to have him attend the press conference before such a match."

Barzaghi added: "This is a decision the club also made last year and is not specifically aimed at Roma. When the club thinks it's better to say nothing, they don't hold a press conference."
