Mourinho promises full focus in reunion with Inter and former player Chivu

According to information from Bola.net, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho spoke ahead of the Champions League match against Inter Milan. The Portuguese manager said he will stay fully focused and control his emotions in the meeting with his former club. Tonight's game is also a special reunion with Cristian Chivu. The former Romanian defender played under Mourinho at Inter during the 2026-2026 season, when the Milan club won a historic treble. Chivu is now Inter's head coach, adding extra edge to the sideline duel. Mourinho did not discuss tactics in depth. He stressed the mental side against a traditional opponent. Meeting familiar figures from a glorious past can stir emotions, but the coach appears to value calmness. For Inter, Chivu also has reasons to be cautious. Mourinho's knowledge of Inter players and Italian football could help Real Madrid prepare. Still, football always leaves a gap between plans and reality. The match will show whether Mourinho keeps his promise of focus or whether Chivu's Inter can produce a surprise.
