Inter Coach: I Agree with Lautaro's Statements, We Played Arrogantly
Christian Kivu, the coach of Inter, appeared in press statements after being eliminated from the Club World Cup against Fluminense with a score of two goals to none in the quarter-finals.
The coach said: "Fluminense was more refreshed and smarter. We didn't enter the match the way I wanted, and we faced difficulties against their high pressure. We were a bit arrogant, and we tried to play beautifully instead of simply. "
He added: "We gave our all until the end, but luck was not on our side, the ball hit the crossbar twice, and we missed a clear chance from De Vrij. We conceded two goals from only two shots on target. "
Regarding Lautaro's angry statement towards Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who wants to leave: "I also said in my press conference that we all need to be on the same page. Lautaro said it fiercely, and I was more diplomatic, but the message is the same: those who do not want to stay should leave. We are a club that wants to make amends and plan for a new season with greater ambition."
He continued: "For me, these three weeks have been an opportunity to get to know the team, the players' personalities, and their strengths and weaknesses. The team finished an extremely exhausting season and was trying with all its might. "
He concluded: "I am the type who sees the glass as half full; otherwise, I will get a headache. We need to build on this phase and plan for the upcoming season with a new spirit."
