"IT’S ON ME": CRISTIAN CHIVU ADMITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTER’S EARLY DEFENSIVE CHAOS
Cristian Chivu analyses Inter’s 6-2 comeback win, taking the blame for defensive errors while praising Federico Dimarco’s impact.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu couldn’t hide how impressed he was with his team after their wild 6-2 win over Pisa. Even after Swiss keeper Yann Sommer’s early mistake gifted Pisa the opening goal, Chivu took the blame: “That’s on me.”
Inter actually fell behind by two at home, but they roared back before halftime and then piled on three more goals in the second half. Not a bad way to kick off Week 22.
Chivu didn’t hesitate to shake things up. In the 34th minute, he swapped Luis Henrique for Federico Dimarco—a move that changed everything. Dimarco was everywhere, scoring one and assisting another. No wonder he took home Man of the Match.
Chivu told DAZN, “A match lasts 100 minutes, and you can always turn it around.” That confidence paid off. Sure, Pisa’s Stefano Moreo lobbed in a beauty from 30 yards, but Sommer only got caught out because Chivu had told him to play out from the back. “That’s my fault,” Chivu admitted. “I’m the one asking the keeper to do certain things, and sometimes I make it hard for Yann.”
After conceding again from a set piece, Inter didn’t fold. “Pride, quality, intensity—we showed all of that. The attitude matters most. You suffer sometimes, but it’s your reaction that counts. We did really well,” Chivu said.
He didn’t ignore the missed chances either. “We could’ve made it 4-2 earlier, but instead we waited until the end. Still, hats off to the boys. They give everything to keep this season competitive and prove we’re pushing for our goals.”
Pio Esposito put Inter ahead just before halftime with his third league goal of the season. Chivu praised him too. “He’s hungry to prove himself. He takes responsibility, just like everyone else. And if things go wrong, that’s on me—I push them hard. But I’m glad they believe in what we’re doing.”
Chivu even showed up late for his post-match interview because he needed treatment from Inter’s doctors. “I’m loaded up on painkillers for my back,” he joked. “Tomorrow, my kids want me fresh, and my wife expects it too. I need to be ready for them.”
When asked if he’d still watch Juventus-Napoli or Roma-Milan on Sunday, Chivu grinned. “That question again, huh? Honestly, I love football—it’s more than just a job to me. Sometimes I get tired because I watch so many matches, but you have to learn. If I get the chance, I’ll watch, but my family comes first. I already spend so much time with the team, and sometimes I’m not the best husband or father. They deserve my attention. Sometimes, you just have to switch off and be with your loved ones. Football’s great, but family always wins.”
10-WEEK WAIT: WHAT DID BILLY GILMOUR DO DURING HIS LONG RECOVERY PERIOD IN LONDON?
Billy Gilmour is back: Analyse his return against Roma and the latest news on Scott McTominay's new 2030 Napoli contract talks.
Billy Gilmour couldn’t hide his excitement after finally shaking off his injury. Those ten weeks on the sidelines felt like forever, honestly.
He made his return on Sunday, stepping onto the pitch for the first time since November 1. Gilmour came on with just 11 minutes left in Napoli’s 2-2 draw against Roma and didn’t waste any time; he played a key pass that set up Alisson Santos’ equaliser only three minutes after coming on.
Gilmour, who used to run the midfield for Chelsea and Brighton, had been part of the Scotland squad that booked a spot at next summer’s World Cup in North America. Still, he missed those crucial games against Greece and Denmark and ended up needing surgery for a hernia right after.
While he was out, things got rough for Napoli. They slipped out of the title race and crashed out early from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia.
But for Gilmour, just being back on the pitch meant everything. He posted on Instagram: “First steps in 2026. There’s no better feeling than being on the pitch and doing it in front of your fans! It’s been a long 10 weeks; now I’m back doing what I love with this team. Forza Napoli Sempre!”
In other news, Scott McTominay, Gilmour’s teammate for both club and country, is in talks over a new Napoli contract. Since joining Manchester United for £27.5 million a year and a half ago, McTominay’s been a game-changer, banging in 12 goals during Napoli’s title run and picking up the league’s player of the year award.
He’s missed the last couple of matches but looks set to return against Atalanta on Sunday. With two and a half years left on his current deal, Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport says his agent and the club are already discussing improved terms.
NAPLES OR MANCHESTER? SCOTT MCTOMINAY’S AGENT HOLDS CRITICAL CONTRACT TALKS WITH NAPOLI
Scott McTominay's agent is in Naples! Discover the details of the 2030 contract offer and why Manchester United want him back now.
Scott McTominay’s team has sat down with Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, to talk about a possible contract extension at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. After 22 years at Manchester United, McTominay, now 29, made a £25.7 million move to Naples in August 2024.
He wasted no time making an impact. In his first season with Napoli, he played a key role as they clinched their second Serie A title in three years. He didn’t just help them win; he was named the league’s MVP. McTominay racked up 12 goals and six assists during that title run.
He’s kept up that form this season, too. So far, he’s scored 10 goals and picked up four assists across Serie A and the Champions League. Lately, though, he’s missed the last two matches, including Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Roma, after picking up an injury in the win over Genoa on February 7.
Even with him sidelined, there’s plenty of talk about his future in Naples. Corriere dello Sport says Napoli is already working on a new, improved contract for McTominay, who’s signed until 2028, after his standout first 18 months in Italy.
Antonio Conte’s side wants to keep him at the club until at least 2030. Reports say McTominay’s agent has flown to Naples for talks, and negotiations with Manna about the new deal are already underway.
So far, they haven’t hammered out the details on salary. But after proving himself as one of Serie A’s best, McTominay is set for a pay bump.
All this talk about a new deal comes just days after rumours surfaced about Manchester United being in the mix for McTominay’s return. Tuttomercatoweb reported on Friday that he’s considering heading back to the Premier League in 2026, with United leading the chase.
Supposedly, he and his girlfriend Cam Reading are thinking about a move home, and it sounds like a Premier League return could happen sooner rather than later.
Napoli’s global business development officer, Leonardo Giammarioli, spoke about the transfer buzz last week. He told talkSPORT the club is trying to fend off interest from other teams.
“Yeah, of course I’m worried,” he said. “But honestly, especially with Scott, he’s a great guy, we’d be happy if he reaches the next level in a couple of years. Maybe not now, maybe not next year, but he deserves it.
“Look at Stuttgart, they wanted to keep Nick Woltemade, but when Newcastle offered £65 million, there’s not much you can do. If the player wants to go and the money’s right, it’s tough for Italian clubs. The league keeps losing revenue.”
