Inter boss Cristian Chivu banged drums for a comeback against Bodo/Glimt in his side’s upcoming Champions League playoff second leg clash.
Speaking to Sky Sports (via Gianluca Di Marzio) ahead of the fixture, Chivu showed confidence in his team to turn around a two-goal deficit into a win when they host Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday at the San Siro. He said: “We have to go out there and win. We can’t be under the pressure of scoring two or three goals; we need to understand the moments. We’re a team capable of overturning a negative result, but we need to maintain our balance because Bodo are dangerous in transition.”

The Nerazzurri fell to a 3-1 first-leg defeat in the Arctic Circle earlier this month, and they managed to respond with a 2-0 victory over Lecce since that night. Inter will hope to have the home audience on their back as they take on the Norwegian outfit in an assertive fashion.
Chivu reiterated that his players are motivated both physically and mentally, and they will leave no stone unturned from the first minute of the match to snatch the victory on aggregate. The Romanian manager said that his team is fit to even play a possible 120-minute match, and are ready to undergo the tension of a penalty shootout. He remarked: “I’m interested in our approach, our confidence, and being the best version of ourselves. We can turn it around. It could be 120 minutes plus penalties, we have to be ready in every respect.”
