CHIVU: "FAIR RESULT AT THE END OF THE DAY"

"We suffered more in the first half but then we stood up to them. I wish Sneijder all the best in the world"

ROME - "If you look at the way the game went, I think the scoreline is a fair result," said Cristian Chivu after the final whistle at the Olimpico.

"We suffered more in the first half and ran a lot of risks, but then we stood up to a team who can be lethal on the counter. Osvaldo? Yeah, he caused us a few problems, it's not easy to defend against a player like him, but when we switched to four at the back after the break we suffered less," the veteran defender added.

Chivu was also asked to comment on the departure of Wesley Sneijder, after the Dutchman's transfer to Galatasaray was announced during the match. "He's my friend and team-mate, I wish him all the best in the world. I'll speak to him on the phone."
