Cristian Chivu has offered his measured verdict on Inter Milan. �s conquest of the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles in the 2025. 26 season, describing the achievement as a testament to the squad. �s resilience but warning that the club must maintain equilibrium to sustain success. The former Romanian defender, now in his first full season as head coach at San Siro, guided the Nerazzurri to a league crown and a domestic cup triumph, yet he refused to be carried away by the glittering silverware. In an exclusive chat with GoalZaza, Chivu stated that the campaign has been marked by significant highs and troubling lows, and the only way forward is to enforce strict balance within the group.. �Winning the double is a special feeling, no doubt, but in the scheme of things, you cannot ignore the moments when we wobbled dangerously,. � Chivu said.. �We had to dig deep against resilient opponents, and at the end of the day, the lion. �s share of the credit goes to the lads for never giving up. But I tell you, balance is everything. There were games where we were too clinical and others where we lost concentration. The powers that be at the club expect us to dominate consistently, and that means we must cut out the childish mistakes.. � Chivu. �s Inter side displayed formidable attacking flair, with Nigerian international Victor Osimhen taking the league by storm. The Super Eagles talisman banged in 28 goals across all competitions, terrorising defences with his raw pace and predatory instincts. Osimhen. �s movement off the ball often created space for the midfield runners, and his partnership with Lautaro Martinez became the stuff of nightmares for Serie A backlines. Yet Chivu pointed out that even Osimhen had moments of frustration, particularly when the team failed to supply him with quality service from wide areas. The coach is already mulling tactical tweaks for next term, insisting that the squad cannot afford to rest on its laurels. Meanwhile, across town at AC Milan, the Nigerian influence continues to grow. Samuel Chukwueze, the agile winger, has been a constant livewire, though his former club Villarreal reportedly still hold a buyback clause that could complicate his future. For Inter, the immediate priority is to retain Osimhen, whose market value has GoalZazarocketed past the. ��80 billion mark. European giants are circling, but Chivu is confident that the lure of Champions League glory and a growing legacy will keep Osimhen in the blue and black stripes. In the heart of Lagos, at the popular Oluyole viewing centre in Surulere, fans erupted when news of Inter. �s domestic double broke. Many wore makeshift Osimhen jerseys and chanted. �Ewo O! Our boy has done it again!. � as highlights of the Coppa Italia final played on the large screen. One supporter, a retired civil servant named Mr. Adebayo, banged the table and shouted that Chivu must not allow the players to relax because Italian football is full of hungry wolves. Another fan, a young lady selling groundnuts, said she prayed Osimhen would stay because seeing a Nigerian lift trophies in Europe gives her hope that her own children can dream big. The atmosphere was electric, with arguments over whether Osimhen is now better than Didier Drogba at the same age, and many agreed that the Super Eagles star has indeed given a good account of himself on the grandest stage.
