We've studied Monterrey
Meanwhile, on facing Monterrey, Chivu said of the Mexicans: “We studied on video, we know they’ve changed coach, they’ve probably made some changes. They play in a proactive way, vertically, they also have some good individual players.
“This competition is unusual, but beautiful. Let’s not forget the team’s journey: the value of the team cannot be judged by the fact that it hasn’t lifted trophies. It has had an extraordinary journey.
“The duty of a team and the coach is to always give their all, for me it is not a failed season. Inter eliminated Bayern and Barcelona, they were considered one of the best teams in Europe a few weeks ago.
"Failure does not exist: you always have to try until the end, failure is when you make excuses or look for alibis. Being with the players I have not seen people pointing fingers and looking for culprits."
