Inter kicks off on Monday: Chivu builds on Italian block and chooses
According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Background
Cristian Chivu, as Inter's new coach, has the responsibility to prepare the squad for the challenges of the coming season in Serie A. He works closely with club president Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio to optimize the squad and training methods. The presence of newcomer Aleksandar Stankovic and other youth players offers Chivu the opportunity to further shape his vision for the team.
Why this matters
Inter's preparation under Cristian Chivu is crucial to defending their Serie A title. With a focus on tighter and more structured training, Chivu hopes to lay the foundation for a successful season. Maintaining a strong Italian bloc is essential for the team's cohesion and performance.
Key points
- Inter kicks off on Monday: Chivu builds on Italian block and chooses.
- Inter starts its preparation under Cristian Chivu on Monday with physical tests in Appiano Gentile and a training camp in Donaueschingen.
- Cristian Chivu remains central to Inter's plans.
Cristian Chivu has started the engines again at Inter. After a short summer break, the first working day of the new season is scheduled for Monday in Appiano Gentile. Italy's reigning champion traditionally starts with medical and physical tests, after which the selection heads to Germany for a training camp in Donaueschingen.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chivu kept close contact with club president Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio during his holiday period to monitor market developments and fine-tune preparatory planning. The new trainer wants a tighter and more linear run-up than last summer, with clear training accents and double sessions in the Black Forest to quickly raise the basic level.
The full first team will not be complete in the opening week. Players who were recently active in the World Cup will join later, during the international tour of Hong Kong and Australia. Present from day one are the newcomer Aleksandar Stankovic, various youth players who get the chance to show themselves, and also Benjamin Pavard and Kristjan Asllani, whose sporting future is still a topic of discussion within the club. For Chivu it is important to immediately establish automatisms where possible and to form the core of the group - with a distinctly Italian bloc - around its principles.
The first indicator is already in the agenda: Inter will practice against Karlsruher on July 26. That match should give Chivu the first indications about fitness, intensity and the translation of his ideas on the field. The staff aims for the team to not only be physically fit at the season opener, but also to have tactically embraced the new accents. The goal is clear: to be ready to defend the title with gusto.
Appiano Gentile actsas always as a starting point, with facilities that enable the club to run detailed screenings and individual programs. Donaueschingen, known for its quiet environment and excellent training fields, then offers the peace and sharpness for solid blocks of work - including double sessions and tactical stimuli. The choice for this structure should give Inter rhythm, resilience and balance before the selection is complete and the long journey to Asia and Oceania follows.
With a preparation that revolves around structure, load and clear roles, Chivu wants to quickly put a recognizable signature on this Inter. The coming weeks will therefore be crucial to strengthen the championship base, integrate youth where possible and be ready for a long and demanding season in Serie A and beyond.
What's happening now
After the physical tests in Appiano Gentile, the selection will leave for Donaueschingen for intensive training sessions. Players involved in the World Cup will join later, which could impact team dynamics. The first practice match against Karlsruher offers Chivu the opportunity to test his strategies in practice.
