Will Chivu ever play in the Premier League?
What if Cristian Chivu played for Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League when the English team tried to sign him in 2011? What would be the odds of signing the Romanian star? These questions sprung up as some Italian Serie A stars are rumoured to be bound for the EPL.
Among them is his Internazionale teammate Wesley Sneijder. Chivu will be a big catch for any club in Europe. However, getting his services will be difficult. Chivu is a person known for his loyalty to his mother club. He once stated that he wants to retire as an Interista. Inter Milan rewarded his loyalty by offering him three more years on his contract.

Romania recently has success in the friendly match against Belgium after they managed to win the match 2-1.

INTER NET 3 POINTS
Inter Milan has defeated Catania in a Serie A match played at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday. Milan won the match by 2-0. This was the sixth victory for Inter Milan in the ongoing Serie A League. This victory hasn’t affected the position of Milan in the Serie A points table. Milan is still at no. 4 with 18 points in 8 matches. On the other hand, Catania has slipped down to no. 7 in the points table with 11 points in 8 matches.
This was the fourth consecutive victory for Inter Milan in the competition. The manager of Inter Milan, Andrea Stramaccioni, seemed to be delighted with the performance of his team in the match. Stramaccioni said, “It was another wonderful performance by the boys. We had been performing brilliantly since the last few weeks and it was important to continue the winning streak.”
“There were a couple of missed opportunities in the first half, but, apart from that, it was a clinical performance. The body language of the players was terrific. When you win quite a few matches consecutively, you tend to get a bit complacent at times. But, the boys maintained the same kind of intensity that they had shown in the previous matches.”
“Everyone in the team is playing his part beautifully. If we keep playing like this, it will be very hard for any other team to beat us.”
When asked about Cassano who scored his fifth goal in the ongoing season, Stramaccioni said, “He has proved to be a great buy for us. We had massive hopes from him and he has been delivering so far. Hopefully, he would be able to maintain his form in the further matches as well.”
Inter Milan’s next match will be a Europa League encounter against Partizan Belgrade on Tuesday at the same venue.

CHIVU RULED OUT
Inter Milan could be without the star defender Cristian Chivu for up to a month now after it was revealed that the defender has not made sufficient progress in his attempts to rehabilitate from his injury problems. The Romanian defender has been suffering from a toe problem for the last couple of weeks. He recently extended his contract at the San Siro after many rumours linking him with a move abroad came up during the summer. He was a free agent this summer, which prompted speculation linking him with the likes of Real Madrid and Ajax.
However, he has decided to extend his stay at the San Siro by renewing his contract. It is expected that he will be back to the first-team action only by the eighth week of Italian Serie A action. Inter Milan will be up against Catania at home during this weekend. The arrival of Cristian Chivu back into the first team will be a significant boost for the club because they have altered a significant portion of the first team following a disappointing season. Cristian Chivu will be one of the players to provide experience to the new arrivals at the club.
Despite not playing in the Champions League, Inter Milan have spent a lot of money on high profile players in the summer. They are expected to once again propel the club back to the title challenge. It has been two seasons since Inter Milan last won the Italian Serie A title. Inter Milan have made a decent start to the new season, although they have been recently defeated by Roma. It was the first defeat of the season, but aside from that, they have won the other two matches of the campaign. Juventus and Napoli are expected to be the major challenges for the title this time around.
