Christian Chivu, the coach of Inter Milan, spoke after his team defeated Juventus 3-2 in the Derby d'Italia held at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium as part of the twenty-fifth round of the Italian League.

Chivu said: "We suffered in the match, but with heart, we managed to settle it. I hold on to the heart, character, and desire to hurt a team capable of hurting any opponent since Luciano's arrival. They should be congratulated because they are a great team."

He continued: "It's been two years since we won a direct confrontation, and the players felt that, but we succeeded in achieving the victory. I hope this win will be a turning point physically and mentally."

He added: "The team did not have enough clarity to impose our style of play, and I didn't like the performance, but I keep the victory. Credit must also be given to Juventus for the quality of their style of play, as even with ten players, they managed to equalize and put us under pressure."

He concluded his remarks by saying: "I substituted Bastoni because I feared Conceição. We tried until the 90th minute to settle the match and we succeeded in doing so."
