We have studied Monterrey
In the meantime, Chivu said to the Mexicans on Monterrey: “We studied on video, we know they have changed from coach, they probably have made some changes. They play in a proactive way, vertically, they also have some good individual players.
“This competition is unusual, but nice. Let's not forget the journey of the team: the value of the team cannot be assessed by the fact that it has not lifted any trophies. It has had an extraordinary journey.
“The duty of a team and the coach is to always give everything, it is not a failed season for me. Interliminated Bayern and Barcelona, ​​they were considered one of the best teams in Europe a few weeks ago.
“Failure does not exist: you must always try until the end, failure is when you apologize or are looking for alibis. Because I am with the players, I have not seen people who point fingers and are looking for perpetrators.”
