Italian media largely agreed in praising Cristian Chivu after Inter Milan’s 1-0 win away to Udinese, with several outlets awarding the Nerazzurri coach high marks for his tactical approach and in-game management.
For Corriere dello Sport, the man of the match was Lautaro Martínez, who earned a 7.5 after scoring the decisive goal with “coldness and strength” to secure all three points.
Chivu, along with Piotr Zielinski and Francesco Pio Esposito, received a 7, via L’Interista.
The paper described Inter’s success as “narrow on the scoreboard, but clearly dominated by the Nerazzurri for at least 70 minutes,” adding that the only real fault was leaving the match open for too long.

The outlet underlined Chivu’s growing unpredictability, something Inter lacked last season.
They framed the win as another attempt to stretch their lead at the top, with the response of their rivals still to come.
