Inter head coach Cristian Chivu says the team needs time to find rhythm after a season break, describing their first Serie A match as a period to “dust off” rust. He says it takes roughly 45 minutes before the side looks fully up to speed, even as players and the team settle into match intensity.

Chivu also comments on the team’s attacking dynamics, adding that Lautaro does not need his help. Across the coverage, the focus is on Chivu’s assessment of Inter’s early-match performance and how quickly he believes the team becomes more “fluid” as the game progresses. While the articles emphasize different phrasing—one highlights the “45 minutes” to shake off cobwebs and the other underscores the resulting fluidity—they both present the same core message from the coach: Inter’s start is expected to improve as the match develops.
