  "account": "Inter head coach Cristian Chivu discussed his team's performance in their 4-1 win over newly-promoted Monza in Serie A. He mentioned that the team needed to overcome some rust after the opening 45 minutes of the match, but was pleased with the fluidity they displayed in the second half. Inter secured the victory with goals from Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski, Pio Esposito, and Yann Bisseck, while Monza's Gustavo Varela was the only scorer for the visitors. Chivu also touched on the condition of centre-forward Marcus Thuram, who was not involved in the match due to ongoing issues from the World Cup. Regarding Lautaro Martinez, Chivu emphasized the importance of understanding the human side of players and helping them to the best of their abilities, stating that Lautaro doesn't need his help as he is a part of Inter's history and a great guy.",
