Inter's Post-Win Confession: 'I'm an Idiot, As Usual' Sparks Light-Hearted Take on a 4-0 Win

Match takeaways

Inter's manager Cristian Kivo believes the team could have performed better against Como, despite the convincing 4-0 victory in Serie A Round 14.

In his post-match remarks on DAZN Italy, Kivo acknowledged some nerves in the first half and noted that the team pressed hard and showed competitiveness, which earned them the three points.

Kivo added that he wanted to sharpen passing because they were a bit tense; when facing man-to-man, the ball must move quickly and teammates must be found. The team found calmer passing in the second half.

Coach's candid reflections

The opening 20 minutes were very intense, and then Inter tried to ease the tempo after going 1-0 up. The coach said they could have controlled the tempo better in that stretch, stayed humble in defense, and leaned on deep buildup before launching counters.

On the impact of new players and the integration of youngsters, Kivo said they need all players and patience with arrivals from other leagues. Moving to Inter is a big adjustment, but players can adapt thanks to teammates who have been here long enough to explain the Inter way.

The coach also touched on his on-field celebrations, saying he cannot recall exactly what he did and that he is simply an idiot, as usual; the moment is all part of the spectacle.

He finished by expressing love for the team and the club, noting he has been part of it for many years except for a three-month spell at Parma that taught him a lot. Now back, he aims to give his best with passion and share that energy with the players.

Punchline 1: If coaching were stand-up, I’d headline every match with a tactical joke and still win on instinct.

Punchline 2: My game plan is so mysterious even I can’t explain it, but hey, the scoreboard loves it.
