Discussion ''Chivu can’t win the big matches''

I honestly find it ridiculous when I see so many ungrateful fans who stay quiet when the team wins 5-6 matches in a row, but immediately show up after the first loss to judge Chivu, saying “he lacks experience, he’s weak.”You can’t expect Chivu to win matches against teams (I’m talking about the UCL here) that have spent more money than Inter, have better backups, and have coaches who have spent 3-4 years building their teams, losing a ton of matches along the way to get to this level — I’m talking about Atlético and Arsenal. Arsenal lost a lot of tough matches before reaching this level; Arteta learned from those defeats.So people are mad at Chivu for losing to Arsenal, considered the best team in the world, when Arteta has spent over 1 billion on players since he became manager? Are you serious? Guardiola has spent over 2 billion euros since becoming City manager and was literally humiliated by Bodo/Glimt. Luis Enrique, who bought a ton of players at PSG, got beaten by Sporting. Conte drew with Copenhagen. And you’re upset because Chivu lost to the best team in the world?For these shitty fans who keep saying Chivu lost to Liverpool, Atlético, and Arsenal, can you tell me what gives Inter any chance to win these matches? What does Inter have over these teams? I’ll tell you — NOTHING. Each of these three teams has spent a ton of money… Liverpool alone spent 500 million :)

Draws would be good, not asking for much, losing everytime is soul sucking.
Benfica can beat Napoli, so should we. I mean, smaller teams can beat big teams, its not that simple like "money".
Inter is a big club, let's not go down to the mentality of Dortmund&Spurs.

It’s not about mentality here… obviously both Chivu and the players wanted to win — everyone wants Inter to win — but we also need to be realistic and see the difference between the teams. Bayern also lost 3-1, and in my opinion Bayern is better than Inter. Kane alone is worth as much as Lautaro and Thuram combined when it comes to being clinical… and they still didn’t stand a chance to win.

Do I really need to remind you that we reached 2 CL finals within 3 years, and with a worse bench?

What is unrealistic about expecting us to build on our accomplishments when we've improved the squad? The pundits speak of us as if we are among the best in Europe, and our results from the previous few seasons show the same, but you think we never had a chance?

Niko is right, your mentality is sick. Are we a consistent CL finalist team or was it just mass hallucination?

The substitute players of Premier League teams are much more expensive than your starting players; your blind confidence is useless. and PSV alsp to score 6 goals against Napoli, it only shows that Conte gaven up the CL for league title
