Head coach Cristian Chivu has moved quickly to quash any sense of inevitability, warning his players that the two matches are worlds apart. His message is one of humility and sharp focus, insisting that a repeat of Saturday’s dominance is far from guaranteed.\n\nChivu’s pre-match press conference offered a masterclass in managing expectations. He pointed to the unique danger of facing a team so soon after a heavy league defeat: “There are pitfalls when you play the same side back-to-back,” he said. “You might think it will be as simple as it was, but they will find extra motivation. We must remain humble and approach this with the right attitude.” The Romanian coach, who inherited a side riddled with external pressure, knows better than most how fragile momentum can be.\n\nPerhaps the most striking moment came when asked what winning the Coppa Italia would mean to him personally. “It changes nothing for me,” Chivu stated bluntly. “I’m happy for the players. I found a team that shares my ambition and wants to be competitive.” The declaration might sound dismissive, but behind it lies a profound psychological ploy: by minimizing personal glory, he lifts any burden off his squad and redirects pride toward the collective.\n\nChivu’s tenure has been defined by this kind of emotional intelligence. Since replacing Simone Inzaghi, he has stressed serenity and human connection, leveraging his deep understanding of the Inter environment from his playing days. “I tried to calm things down from a human standpoint and manage the frustration that comes from the outside,” he explained. “These are great men, real people who put their faces out there and know how to stay together.” That unity has been the bedrock of a campaign that now stands on the verge of a domestic double.\n\nCaptain Lautaro Martínez, speaking alongside his coach, made no attempt to hide the hunger coursing through the dressing room. “Our motivation is the hunger to win titles and trophies,” he said. “We want to win every competition we enter. It’s been two years since we were in a final, and tomorrow is another chance to lift a cup.” Lautaro’s words carry extra weight given his own injury struggles—a persistent calf problem that limited him during the spring but could not extinguish his drive.\n\nThe Argentine forward candidly addressed the physical setback. “This calf issue held me back a bit, but I worked incredibly hard. I’m happy with my season and with the team’s season.” His resilience mirrors that of a squad that shook off a minor summer dressing-room rift to rediscover its ruthless edge. “Confrontations happen when you have 25-26 different personalities,” Lautaro noted. “But the coach understood immediately and brought energy, leadership, and a strong personality. Now the word in the dressing room is ‘win.’”\n\nTeam news offered cautious optimism. Marcus Thuram, who had been nursing a knock, rejoined group training and will be assessed ahead of kickoff. Chivu confirmed the French forward could start alongside Lautaro, giving Inter their most potent attacking duo for the occasion. Fitness coach Mario Cecchi added that the team has learned to absorb setbacks better this season—a sign of growing maturity.\n\nThe final pits two tactically organized sides against each other, but the psychological component looms largest. Chivu’s insistence on humility is a direct response to the risk of a Scudetto hangover. Having already dismantled Lazio’s league ambitions, replicating that performance in a one-off showpiece requires a mental reset. The Biancocelesti will be buoyed by a full stadium and the sting of recent embarrassment; Inter cannot afford even a momentary lapse.\n\nA victory would secure Inter’s first major domestic double in over a decade, cementing Chivu’s reputation as a coach who delivers substance over style. More than a trophy, though, it would validate his unconventional leadership—a figure who publicly claims indifference to personal accolades yet extracts maximum hunger from his players. Lautaro’s “fame di trofei” encapsulates a group that refuses to rest on one success.\n\nAs the final approaches, all eyes will be on whether Chivu’s calm detachment can coexist with his players’ raging ambition. If balance is found, the Nerazzurri will add another chapter to an increasingly memorable season. For now, the message from Appiano Gentile is clear: stay humble, stay hungry, and let the football do the talking.\n\nBased on reporting from Tuttosport.","news","Inter boss Chivu says Coppa Italia
