Christian Chivu is ready to shake things up again with Inter set for another round of changes tomorrow at Napoli, with the coach staying true to his early-season rotation strategy.
After heavily altering the side in the Champions League against Union SG in Brussels, the Nerazzurri will revert to the XI that impressed and won in Rome.
For Chivu, it is a calculated gamble based on freshness, rhythm and trust.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the idea is to field the same lineup seen at the Olimpico.
That means key pillars will return from the start.
The intention is clear: maximise intensity, restore automatisms and approach the Maradona with a setup that has already delivered.
Chivu Returns To Same Inter Milan Squad For Napoli As Defeated Roma
The balance in midfield, the aggression on the flanks and the movement up front are all considered decisive for a match that presents another major test of Inter’s title ambitions.
Chivu’s approach has paid off so far.
However, a demanding away trip will put his rotation philosophy under the spotlight once more.
Probabile Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Bonny, Lautaro.
Inter will once again look for energy, vertical play and control in key phases and Chivu is backing continuity from Rome as the best path to another statement away result.
Napoli will challenge their structure, and the coach’s selection gamble now meets its toughest examination yet.
it’s just a negative media work on us…..I can remember they did to us last few years when conte was our coach… they just want us get distracted
What is the gamble? He sees that as his best 11. The way they have played confirms it
