Chivu’s Inter Career Off to a Flying Start

As you may recall, Inter are headed to Turkey this week with about 1.5 defenders in their team, and rather than blaming the crew who got themselves suspended for that fight against Valencia last season, club President Massimo Moratti has decided to turn his rage (flaccid, old-man rage though it may be) on new arrival Cristian Chivu.

According to Moratti, Chivu is a moron (though he didn't use exactly that word) for not pulling out of Romania's midweek friendly against German, the match in which he suffered the shoulder injury that has him on the sidelines.
