Chivu and Thuram speak in Rotterdam
Chivu said “Io credo nel lavoro, credo in questa squadra” — I believe in the work, I believe in this squad. By his reckoning about 16 points make the top eight. Inter have three. He confirmed that Pavard and Provedel are back in the squad.
Marcus Thuram, the France forward, was asked about Nicolò Barella and Bastoni. Both said after the derby that the team has problems to fix. “Condivido, loro sono due leader” — I agree, they are two leaders. A problem has to be named and corrected, not ignored, he said.

Carlos Augusto drops back to cover for Bastoni. Federico Dimarco returns on the left. Hakan Calhanoglu plays deep, Barella and Piotr Zielinski ahead of him, Francesco Pio Esposito next to Thuram.

Corriere dello Sport on the three English signings
Corriere dello Sport says Inter’s three signings from the Premier League have given Chivu almost nothing because of injuries. Curtis Jones came from Liverpool at the coach’s request. The midfielder stopped again in the October international break. John Stones, signed on a free transfer, has continued a run of unavailability going back several seasons. Spence is not yet at full fitness.
