Inter lose 3–4 to Club Brugge — Tresoldi hat trick

Chivu: “We lost our balance and shape when pressing”
Cristian Chivu spoke to the club’s channels after the match. “I cannot be satisfied with the number of goals we conceded,” he said. The work ahead, he said, is on balance, duels, second balls and the distances between players when they press.
He credited Club Brugge for their intensity and their pace out wide, and said he should have projected more calm at halftime. “Above all, we must not lose faith in ourselves,” he said. Yann Bisseck, the Inter defender, was blunter. “We simply cannot concede four goals in the Champions League,” he said.

The club’s own all-time scorers list now puts him third on 181 goals, behind Alessandro Altobelli on 209 and Giuseppe Meazza on 284.
