Inter and Chivu are preparing for the trip to Pisa with a clear plan: rebuild the spark that once defined the Thuram–Lautaro partnership.

After consecutive matches in which Inter’s attack sputtered, the Nerazzurri have failed to score from open play against Milan and Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, the coach feels a reset is needed, with reports via FCInterNews.

Despite Ange-Yoan Bonny being the most in-form option in the forward line, the intention is to restore the core structure.

Chivu Relies On Inter Duo Thuram & Lautaro As Bonny Heads For Bench At Pisa

Lautaro Martínez remains a central focus of this recalibration.

The Inter captain has looked less sharp in recent outings, substituted in both the derby and the Champions League defeat in Madrid.

Indeed, he is still searching for his first goal since the pre-break clash with Lazio.

However, Chivu believes restoring familiarity around him could help reignite his confidence inside the box.

That includes the return of Marcus Thuram.

The Frenchman’s absence has been felt acutely.

Inter lost not only his physical presence but also the fluidity and link-up play that defines the ThuLa pairing.

At Pisa, Thuram is expected to start alongside Lautaro after coming through a positive first test in the derby.

That being said, Bonny has been Inter’s liveliest attacker in recent weeks.

However, the technical and tactical value of the established duo appears too important for Chivu to overlook.
