Source context
Inter coach Cristian Chivu admits the Nerazzurri were ‘lucky’ to beat Venezia and, despite praising the team’s attitude, says he’d have liked to ‘replace everyone’ at half-time. Inter beat struggling Venezia 2-0 away on Wednesday, making the most of two own goals from the Lagunari. “We lacked energy and were slow in certain aspects, and were a little surprised by their low block, even though we were expecting it. Chivu told Sky Sport via FCInternews. “We were lucky to come away with the win today. I don’t know whether that’s what matters; what matters is that we stayed in the game and kept believing, but we were lucky too,” the Nerazzurri boss added.
