Players have spoken about Chivu's impact in the locker room, emphasizing the strong relationship he has built with the squad since taking over from Simone Inzaghi. His ability to manage the team effectively and keep them on a winning path has been a key factor.
He was a great footballer with a lot of experience. He won a lot and knows that after winning, you have to raise the mental level even higher. He knows there are players who, after a victory, can relax a bit, but he has already been through such situations. The message he wants to convey to us is this: never lower the mental level and always stay focused!

"It's not easy to take over a team and get results immediately, especially after a season where we reached the end of all competitions without winning," Martinez stated. "He gave us a lot of confidence in a difficult moment and was essential for us!" Chivu's leadership has been instrumental in maintaining the team's high performance and unity throughout the season.
