At the post match press conference, Roberto Mancini analyzed the match at the Olimpico.

”Roma played well, but we also allowed them to play their game. We shouldn’t have done so. But we also had character even though we made some errors which allowed them to score.”

Has there been improvements?

”I think there is a bit of confusion in the team because we are trying to make things happen very fast”

Does your ambition match the current level Inter find themselves in?

”There is a lot to be done and quickly. It is not easy to change everything in ten days. The players bring great desire but in order to change a system, you have to adapt to different positions. Some players are playing out of their position. It is normal to go through periods of disappointments during a transition phase but in the end, victories will come when things improve.”

FCInternews.it – Why did M’Vila start over Kovacic?

”Kovacic continues to have a problem with his toe and has not been in top shape after the derby.”

FcInternews.it – Hernanes, Jonathan, Vidic, and Nagatomo were all out tonight. Of these players, who can recover for next week?

”We hope to have Nagatomo and maybe someone else. Hernanes is not in his best shape.”

Did the game go the way you had imagined?

”Against Roma, we knew there would be difficulties. I was hoping we were in our top game but they were dangerous also because of our mistakes.”

Was it a defeat that complicates the chances of reaching the third place?

”The third place is still attainable – the league is long. But you have to get points. There are two routes that can lead us to the Champions League and we hope to take at least one.”
