Inter Milan “Vertical & Adrenaline-Fuelled” Under Cristian Chivu, Says Italian Press

Inter Milan’s win at the Olimpico against Roma continues to shape a clear identity for Cristian Chivu and his side.

As the Corriere della Sera put it, via FCInter1908, this is a vertical climb that is still in its early phase, but already muscular, aggressive and symbolic.

After collecting just three points from their first three league matches, Inter have now produced four consecutive Serie A wins, including their first success in a big game in seven months.

Bonny’s decisive goal in Rome sealed the momentum and, crucially, pulled the Nerazzurri level with the Giallorossi in the table.

For the Corriere, Chivu’s blueprint is bold by design.

The coach wants a team that imposes itself through pressing, verticality and constant ball conquest.

The newspaper defines it as an ambitious idea, noting that Inter now look physically regenerated and mentally sharper than in the opening weeks.

This version of Inter leans on the chemistry of the Scudetto core inherited from Inzaghi, but expresses it differently.

More vertical, more adrenaline-driven in the first hour, and more lucid in managing the final thirty minutes, especially when under pressure.

It is also, the paper notes, more credible in its attacking alternatives, a key difference compared to last season’s run-in.

The Corriere recalled how Roma beat Inter 1–0 at San Siro in April, in a match where the Nerazzurri had no answers without Thuram and with Lautaro below par.

Today, with Thuram again unavailable, Chivu has found a functional mirror in Ange-Yoan Bonny.
