Inter won 2-1, with Valentin Carboni score in injury time to earn the triumph.
Chivu said afterwards: “They played a good game, a serious game. We tried to score in every way and create confusion for an organized team that defended very low, also benefit from the crosses with the import of Pio Esposito.
“We believed in it until the end, I am proud of the boys who gave everything and we brought it home.
“It is difficult to talk about formations against a team that defended in the penalty area. In the first half I loved the search for width and the attack of depth. Once we were on the back, we put the second striker to fill the area more.”
On Carboni he added: “I say a lot about Valentin, but I could also say about Pio Esposito, Luis Henrique and Sucic. I am happy for Valentin, because it was the first game after the cross damage, he worked hard to recover and see him happy.”
