Although the Italians have won only one of their first three matches, Denzel Dumfries remains certain that Inter can present a solid showing away against Ajax.
โWeโre not panicking,โ Dumfries begins. โWe have an experienced team and have been playing together for a long time. Weโre determined to turn things around. Now the Champions League starts, and itโs up to us to bounce back.โ
Inter, of course, have a new head coach in Cristian Chivu. The Romanian played for Ajax from 1999 to 2003 and still has fond memories of the Amsterdam club. โIโm 45 years old now. The foundation of who I am lies in this country,โ says Chivu. โNot just as a player, but also as a person. Iโm very grateful to this country for making me a better person and a better footballer.โ
That said, Chivuโs management style is different to that of the Dutch school of thought he experienced in the Netherlands. He explained, โThe cultures are very different. I do think you get a perfect team if you mix the Dutch and Italian styles of football.โ
