Inter coach Chivu appeared in a press conference before the match against Real in the Champions League.
"We have an obligation to write important pages in the history of Inter. The standards that this club has reached are important, we have an obligation to continue. The Bernabeu is now even more beautiful, more modern and we are delighted to be able to play a match here. Mourinho? For me, he is a special person that I was lucky enough to meet in my life. He helped me get through a difficult time and I will never forget him. We have shared so many wonderful moments together."
"What have I learned from Mourinho? I have never copied a coach and I don't want to. We don't want to lose our character here at the Bernabeu either, we want to try to be dominant. There is no perfect way to face Real Madrid. They have players who can cause problems, regardless of the game plan."
On the formation: "Is it Stones and Jones' time? It doesn't matter who leaves, 16 players are important. And what happened in these first three days of matches with the substitutions is proof of that. And we also saw against Napoli how important the players who come on are, especially when you have a competitive team."
On starting the Champions League against a strong team like Real Madrid: "Would it have been better to have a softer start? I would have chosen maybe an extra day of rest. But this is the calendar and we have to get used to it."
