Ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Feyenoord, Inter coach Cristian Chivu emphasized that his squad must channel the disappointment from their recent derby defeat into positive energy as they prepare to face the Dutch side at De Kuip.

Speaking in a pre-match press conference alongside forward Marcus Thuram, Chivu addressed the team's response following the setback in domestic play. The manager noted that playing again after just three days helps turn bitterness into motivation. While acknowledging that Feyenoord presents a tough challenge at home due to their intensity, quality, and passionate supporters, Chivu stressed that the Nerazzurri are maintaining a game-by-game focus in Europe following their previous victory against Shakhtar Donetsk.
