In the match between Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds, the team fell behind but still won the game. Inter Milan showed extraordinary courage and perseverance in this game. This crucial victory has enabled the Nerazzurri to accumulate 4 points in the group. It also opened a successful prelude for Christian Chivu's coaching career and marked his first official victory as Inter Milan coach.  

After the game, coach Christian Chivu said: "We played very well today and showed a professional attitude. Everyone tried their best to score goals and constantly created threats for the opponent. The opponent defended tightly and was very well organized."  

"After Pio came on as a substitute in the second half, we kept trying to find opportunities through crosses from the wing and fought until the end. I am proud of the team and all the players gave 100% effort."  

"I could say a lot about Valentin, but it's also worth mentioning Pio, Luis Enrique and Sučić. Each of them has worked hard for the team. Especially Valentin, I'm very happy for him. This was his first game after his injury, and yesterday was exactly eight months since he was away from the pitch. He has worked so hard to get back on the pitch, and it's really gratifying to see him smiling today."  

"It's difficult to talk about formations and systems in the usual way when facing such a densely packed opponent. But I like the width we showed in attack, especially when two players were close to the center, we were able to quickly launch forwards from the back."  

“I wanted to keep the tempo and structure, but because we were trailing, we had no choice but to increase the number of players in the box and try to create chances with crosses from the wing.”
