Milan "Inter" team's head coach Cristian Kivu responded to the comments of team captain Lautaro Martinez. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Argentinian forward Lautaro expressed dissatisfaction with the mental state of some teammates after losing to "Fluminense" (0:2) in the Club World Championship Round of 16. Later, club president Giuseppe Marotta clarified that Lautaro was specifically referring to Hakan Çalhanoğlu. In an interview with Sport Mediaset, Kivu said: "Lautaro's words?
We are all winners, sometimes in this sport, pride and competitive spirit are manifested. We all need to be on the same page.
This applies not only to the team but to the entire club as well. Players want to recover after a difficult season." Romanian coach Cristian Kivu replaced Simone Inzaghi as head coach of "Inter" shortly before the start of the Club World Championship.
He is striving to strengthen the team further in the new season and is taking all measures to boost the players' morale. With the beginning of a new era at "Inter," the coach is trying to resolve internal issues within the team and is an advocate for uniting all players towards a common goal.
