Kivou: Playing in the Italian League is Not Easy, and We Must Always Stay Focused
Inter Milan's head coach, Christian Kivou, emphasized the difficulty of the Serie A matches after his team’s 2-0 victory over Parma in the 19th round of the competition.
Kivou said: "Playing in the Italian league is never easy; you always have to prove yourself against opponents who can put you in difficult situations. Even the weather conditions didn’t help, but we played a serious match with a mature mindset. We tried to break down their defense, get the ball more into the penalty area, and take shots from outside the box. In the end, the most important thing is the win."
He continued: "The statistics are interesting to read, but what matters is the team's mindset and our desire to continue a successful season in the Italian league. I repeat, nothing is easy, as every ball we lose can turn into a dangerous counterattack. We were good at not giving the opponent many chances, but we could have been more patient and improved the quality of our crosses."
He added: "Akanji? All the players are important, like Basic, Acerbi, and De Vrij. Even Carlos put in a great performance today. Playing against these teams is never easy, and our focus must always be at the highest level; otherwise, you might fall into the trap of being overly comfortable with yourself."
Kivou concluded his speech by emphasizing the importance of discipline and focus: "Commitment and concentration are the keys to maintaining strong performance, and we must always prepare well for every match, especially against teams that can turn the tide at any moment."
