Inter Milan coach Chivu said, "I can see that the team is making progress. The players are training very hard, and we have had high-intensity training sessions in the past few days. At this stage, we are not too concerned about the results of these warm-up matches. Our focus is on training and improving physical fitness."

“Several players have had good playing time, and we are satisfied with the quality of their game. Although they are not yet at their best physically and their legs have not yet recovered to the strength they had at the start of the season, overall they will continue to improve.”

Kiev pointed out, "At the beginning of the game, we had some difficulty utilizing space. We made more mistakes than usual in both possession and organizing attacks from the back, and sometimes we seemed too hasty.

"But as the game progressed, we gradually found solutions and were able to break through the opponent's pressure more effectively. Overall, I think the team played a pretty good game."

In addition, Kivu stated, "Our most important task right now is to ensure that every player stays healthy while continuously improving overall physical condition. We are also continuously reinforcing the tactical concepts that the team is trying to implement, and adding some new tactical elements to the foundation that the team has built over the past few years."
