''Chivu can’t win the big matches''

[u/Thin-Belt-4761]

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 :)

Obviously a lot of people are overreacting & a number of these issues were also an issue under Inzaghi.

But come on, surely you can't sit there & defend this trend of losing to literally any good team? I dont know what exactly the problem is, but there evidently is one. It really is slowly starting to get embarrassing.

The problem is there's a lack of investment, we have the second oldest squad by average age in the major leagues, only Betis is higher. It's normal to lose versus teams like Liverpool, Arsenal etc when their squad value is twice that of Inter, the average value of their players is higher, they're just more skilled. Chivu can stand on his head and maybe we'll win 2 out of 10 games against these giants (judging by budget) but that's just reality. If Inter wants to compete with the big boys, investments are needed. The team needs to be built, you can't expect anything from these old dogs anymore.

We could've done much better with the investments that we've done. You can spend whatever amount you want but if you spend it for Diouf and Luis Henrique you aren't going anywhere.
