Inter coach Roberto Mancini was interviewed by RAI after the win against Udinese and was seemingly happy with the result.

“We started well, Udinese scored a great goal, which can be scored by opponents. Thereau performed an extraordinary technical act. We had many chances, but we do not close the matches when we have the opportunities to. And in the end we risked a draw. Our Achilles heel is that we can’t close games, but the team will improve in this sense. Jovetic-Icardi works, it’s what we hoped for in the beginning. Sometimes it takes time, I’m happy with the brace of Jovetic, for Eder who has unlocked and for Icardi, who played the best game. We have the third best defense in the league, now we have to improve the offensive phase and score more goals.”

“The clubs future? I coach, for me it is important that we buy players who allow the team to make a leap in quality and bring Inter back to winning. Without victory we are not well. We are calm, with the President, with Moratti and with everyone. Icardi still needs to improve very much, he’s still young and needs to work. He played a great game, he made himself available, he attacked the spaces. He did not score a goal, but if he also improves in this quality then he will become a great central striker. We played a 4-1-4-1 in the last quarter of an hour, at first there was Brozovic who went between the linesto put Udinese in difficulty. Reinforcements? Players with personality and quality. The team needs this and we need to evaluate these situations. The coach is always responsible, for not having achieved the placing for which we probably deserved especially after the beginning of the season, but there are still 3 matches. In football you never know.”

In conclusion Roberto Mancini was asked if he will watch Roma vs Napoli on Mo day night: “I’m satisfied with the game, for having overturned the result. In previous games we have never managed to do this, but we have never given up. Roma-Napoli? I’m not sure if I’ll watch it.”
