Chivu: Inter have an obligation to think big after Champions League near misses - Soccer News
""We've always said it, we have an obligation to think big," Chivu told reporters on Monday. "It's a long road, but we have a club that supports us, and we have to be the best version of ourselves in all competitions. "We have to maintain the enthusiasm and avoid any missteps. We've put in good performances, and we have the ambition to move forwards. "There could also be some negative moments.""
"Inter travel to Lotto Park on Tuesday in the first of two huge games this week, with a top-of-the-table clash with Napoli in Serie A awaiting them this weekend. After suffering back-to-back league losses to Udinese and Juventus at the start of the season, the Nerazzurri have responded by winning six consecutive games in all competitions. Two of those victories have come in the Champions League, beating Ajax and Slavia Prague to propel themselves to fourth in the early league-phase standings."
"Inter are handed a 5% chance of winning their first European crown since 2009-10, the ninth-highest probability according to the Opta supercomputer. But their hopes of maintaining their perfect record in the Champions League this season have taken a hit, with striker Marcus Thuram ruled out of the clash in Belgium. Thuram has netted five goals in nine appearances in all competitions this season, with his absence offering the chance for Ange-Yoan Bonny or Francesco Pio Esposito to shine."
Inter travel to Lotto Park for a Champions League match against Union Saint-Gilloise, then face Napoli in Serie A this weekend. The team recovered from early domestic defeats by winning six consecutive matches across competitions. Inter have won their two Champions League games so far without conceding and have never previously won and kept clean sheets in their first three matches of a single European Cup/Champions League campaign. The club reached two recent Champions League finals but seeks a first European title since 2009-10. Marcus Thuram is ruled out, creating opportunities for Ange-Yoan Bonny or Francesco Pio Esposito.
