Inter coach Cristian Chivu reportedly had an outburst during a training session on Friday, in which he spoke out against some supporters.
After losing Simone Inzaghi to Al-Hilal at the end of last season – the club Theo Hernandez went to – Inter decided to bring back a club legend to replace him with Chivu arriving from Parma. It has been a mixed start, with two wins and two losses in the league thus far.
According to Calciomercato.com, there seems to be some tension between the coach and a few fans already. After hearing some comments from fans attending a training session, he was forced to speak up.
As per the report, a group of sponsors and some Inter Club representatives were there for a training session yesterday. One of them commented from the stands after a goal by Lautaro Martinez, shouting: “Now do it on Sunday too!”
Chivu’s reaction was immediate, defending his captain and scolding the fan: “Please respect those who work hard. I don’t want to hear anything else on Sunday. Otherwise, go to Milanello! We’re working to improve, damn it.”
So, while Inter have responded with a couple of wins after their 4-3 defeat to Juventus and 2-1 home loss to Udinese, it feels like there are already some tensions brewing.
