The Club World Cup Round of 16 match between Inter and Fluminense ended with an unexpected result for football fans. One of Italy’s top clubs, Inter, suffered a 0–2 defeat.
After the match, Milan head coach Cristian Chivu shared his thoughts on his team’s performance. According to him, the team didn’t give up and fought until the end:
– We tried to fight until the last minutes and used all possible chances. But in football, there are days when nothing works, no matter how hard you try. Today was one of those days for us, – FIFA’s official website quotes Chivu.
The coach also emphasized that the opponent’s tactics were unexpected for them:
– We didn’t expect Fluminense to play with five defenders. That caused us serious difficulties, especially in the first half. It was hard to find a solution. Their approach confused us, – he said.
Let us remind you, Fluminense will now face the winner of the Manchester City vs Al-Hilal match in the quarterfinals. In that round, they’ll take on an even stronger opponent and try to make their mark.
Chivu also expressed gratitude to Inter fans and praised their unique support, stressing the need to learn from the defeat.
This loss might end Inter’s journey in the tournament, but the club’s philosophy remains the same – they will return to the field with a strong squad in the next season. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
