Football: Chivu 'ranking doesn't matter, only winning the derby matters'

"We're ready, aware that it's an important match for us, for them and for the city. It's always an extra motivation, it gives something special. The ranking doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anything. It's just about being the best version and bringing it home": Inter coach Crisitan Chivu said this on the eve of the Milan derby.

"Seven derbies without winning? We have to look at it as the tenth championship match, without looking at the standings. We have to be the best version of ourselves. If we haven't won in seven derbies we should ask ourselves a question, but it doesn't mean that the boys haven't worked hard in these seven matches.

It also depends on the episodes. You need balance and motivation. The others don't give you anything."
