Inter Milan will face Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan at the Lumen Stadium in the second round of the FIFA Club World Cup Group E. Kifu said he would not remove the tactical system that the team has established over a long period of time, and he also hopes to build a team that can control the tempo of the game.

After Lautaro scored a goal, Inter Milan tied with Monterrey 1-1 in the first round of the group stage. Currently, Inter Milan ranks third in the standings of Group E, which means that Inter Milan must beat Urawa Red Diamonds to have a chance to advance to the next round.

Inter Milan coach Chivu said, "We must remember that the team has gone through a tough season for 9 months. To play well in such a game, we must mobilize the right energy. Urawa Red Diamonds is a very organized team in terms of technology and tactics, and also combines European and South American elements. This will be a difficult game, just like the previous games."

"Considering the result of the first game, the second group match became very crucial and we needed to win to advance. I have always liked Japanese football. They are very rigorous in tactics and Urawa Red Diamonds are also very technically solid. I admire Gustafsson very much. He has excellent physical fitness and skills."

Kifu also said, "This is not a summer training camp. We cannot easily shake the system on which the team relies. This system was established with the support of experienced players and has produced a lot of results. It depends on how you look at it, including how to define midfielders and how to look at those players who find space on the court."

"Training in Los Angeles was great. We trained well in the facilities at the University of California. After coming to Seattle, we also completed training in a first-class training field. Although the weather is colder, it doesn't matter. We are here to compete."

In addition, Kifu also said, "We all want to see a team that can control the game, show their skills, and have the ability to control the rhythm of the game and find solutions. This is the dream of all coaches and the goal we are pursuing. We know that this takes time. Although there is not much time now, we will continue to work hard."
