Chivu claims ‘injustices’ strengthened Inter in dramatic win over Fiorentina

Inter Milan secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against ACF Fiorentina on Sunday at San Siro, moving level with Lazio at the top of the Serie A table.​

The Nerazzurri fell behind to Alex Jimenez’s long-range opener before Marcus Thuram equalized in the 90th minute. Five minutes into stoppage time, Piotr Zielinski converted a penalty won by Thuram to claim the win.​

According to Football Italia, Inter manager Cristian Chivu praised his team’s mindset following controversial moments in the match.​

“We believed until the very end and were rewarded for the football we played,” Chivu told DAZN. “I’m pleased with the reaction: the injustices didn’t knock us down; they made us stronger.

Ever since I arrived here, I’ve always said that games last 90 minutes. I don’t want to see people feel sorry for themselves or complain about refereeing decisions. I want to see players respond to setbacks.”
