Tomorrow we expect another important match, because its another competition, because it's Champions League, because it's Atletico Madrid at home, because we know how difficult it is to play here." 21. PRESS CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS 22. (SOUNDBITE) (Italian) INTER MILAN COACH, CRISTIAN CHIVU, ON ATLETICO COACH, DIEGO SIMEONE, SAYING: "He has been through more and has more experiences.

(SOUNDBITE) (Italian) INTER MILAN COACH, CRISTIAN CHIVU, ON ATLETICO COACH, DIEGO SIMEONE, SAYING: "I don't feel better or worse than them. I feel I'm a coach just like them.

PRESS CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS 26. (SOUNDBITE) (Italian) INTER MILAN COACH CRISTIAN CHIVU SAYING ABOUT ATLETICO COACH DIEGO SIMEONE: "It's an important Champions League match. Up until now we've got 12 points from the first four matches. Some people have said they were easy matches but there are no easy matches in the Champions League. You need to deserve it on the pitch to bring the points home and achieve your goals. And it will be the same tomorrow against Atletico, it will never be easy." 27. PRESS CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS 28. (SOUNDBITE) (Italian) INTER MILAN STRIKER, LAUTARO MARTINEZ, SAYING: "For sure Atletico will be a top rival in a stadium where their fans will make sure they are heard. It's going to be a nice match to play. We played them here two years ago. And we know what this match means for us after what happened on Sunday (A 1-0 loss to rivals AC Milan). Even though we might have deserved a bit more, we've turned the page and are thinking on tomorrow's match that's going to be very important." 29. PRESS CONFERENCE IN PROGRESS 30. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) INTER MILAN STRIKER, LAUTARO MARTINEZ, ON ATLETICO STRIKER, JULIAN ALVAREZ, SAYING: "He's in great form. And we do talk a lot about Atletico Madrid because there are five or six (Atletico) players almost always called-up to the national team so we sit down and talk a lot. I see him happy and we don't talk about his future but about the present and family things. As I said before, I'm happy with how he and all the Argentinian guys are doing." 31.
