Those Bangla Cricket Live audiences following European football have surely noticed how Inter Milan have started the new season with remarkable precision and purpose. Under Cristian Chivu’s guidance, the team looks completely rejuvenated—sharp, balanced, and mentally strong. In both Serie A and the Champions League, Inter have been nearly flawless, collecting nine points in Europe along with €6.3 million in victory bonuses, while also maintaining a winning streak in the league. Just days after defeating Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, they continued their run by crushing Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 away from home.
What made this latest win impressive was that Inter fielded several rotation players, yet the performance never dipped. Bench players who rarely featured before suddenly showed hunger and quality. Kristjan Asllani, for instance, performed like a second striker, winning key aerial duels and setting up Dumfries for early chances. After a few missed opportunities, Inter finally broke through. Pio assisted Lautaro Martínez for a clean finish, giving the Nerazzurri a 2-0 halftime lead. In the second half, Lautaro won a penalty, Hakan Çalhanoğlu converted calmly, and Pio later combined with Bony to seal the final score at 4-0. When the outcome was already decided, Chivu substituted Luis Enrique for Dumfries, and the youngster impressed fans with his energy and movement during his brief cameo.
That victory earned Inter another €2.1 million, pushing their Champions League total bonus to €6.3 million. They now sit second in Serie A and second in their Champions League group, having scored nine goals across both competitions without conceding once. Only PSG have a slightly better record, also with nine points but with 13 goals scored and three conceded. Bangla Cricket Live analysts have highlighted how Chivu’s approach—rotating players smartly while maintaining chemistry—has been crucial to this balance.
Chivu’s willingness to trust youth has been a major shift from past management. Youngsters like Pio and Bony have injected energy and unpredictability into the squad. Pio, who played in Serie B last season, now regularly features in Inter’s rotation, even earning three starts already. Bony, once criticized for being an overpriced €23 million signing after a modest season of six goals and four assists, has silenced doubts by contributing to seven goals in ten appearances. The contrast with past misfires such as Correa could not be clearer—Chivu’s eye for talent is far sharper than Simone Inzaghi’s.
The Romanian coach has also handled his veterans with rare tact. Players like Çalhanoğlu and Sommer feel respected and trusted, repaying that faith with consistency. Çalhanoğlu’s penalty precision and midfield control have anchored the team, while Sommer’s string of clean sheets has brought confidence to the defense. In Chivu’s own words after the match: “The most important game is always the next one. I just listen to my players, support them, and make sure they feel valued.” His humility and ability to absorb pressure himself while giving credit to the team have built harmony—a stark contrast to Antonio Conte’s tense, confrontational approach.
Bangla Cricket Live commentators note that this calm leadership is exactly what Inter needed to rebuild after last season’s disappointments. Chivu has restored balance between experience and youth, given everyone a role, and reignited the fighting spirit that once defined the club. With unity, depth, and tactical clarity, Inter now have the confidence to chase both domestic and European glory. The road ahead remains tough—clashes with PSG in Europe and Juventus in Serie A will test their endurance—but if Chivu can manage rotation and injuries wisely, his Inter side might just be ready to write a new chapter in the club’s storied history.
