Journalist criticizes Chivu's repetitive tactics, says he's copying Inzaghi's style

On the pages of "Il Gazzettino Veneto", journalist Giancarlo Padovan discussed Internazionale's victory over Napoli and criticized Chivu's coaching performance.

"Allegri will blame himself for defending too deep, meaning retreating into the penalty area, which is certainly a problem. However, individual player errors have a greater impact than the coach's responsibility, who perhaps wanted to see more counterattacks.

In my opinion, Internazionale did not look as lethal as they did against Monza, and the same was true last Sunday against Cagliari, where they were completely dominant but only scored one goal.

No matter what anyone says, the team's coach is the weak link of this squad. Just look at how repetitive their tactical system is—for over a year, he has been replicating Inzaghi's methods, even though the available personnel could play something else entirely—and they are also vulnerable in big matches.

In Saturday's match, Lautaro helped them win, and the Internazionale defense also gifted them a goal. Otherwise, we would now be saying they dropped two points.

For me, Fabregas is the best coach in Serie A, and even if he wins the Serie A title in the future, he doesn't need that to prove it.

Let's play a game: put Chivu at Como, and Fabregas at Internazionale, and see who performs better."
