Roberto Mancini Spoke to Sky after the game trying to explain the defeat of this evening:
“In the first half we played really well giving little space, we attacked bravely and scored, we could’ve done more. We started well then we had a lot of space left which Udinese took advantage of, and gave them 2-3 chances on the break, in football, however it happens to suffer a goal but the game lasts for 90 minutes and we must always react to the given situation, Today we scored the first goal, then we conceded a draw and from there we’ve no longer played as before, not good. I think in the first half we were very good because we did everything that we trained on during the week and could finish it only 1-0.
In the second half we gave something, mainly because of fatigue, the team is good, but because we are not used to the changes in the game. we have to roll up our sleeves and even at 1-1 continue to attack, must not be affected by the conceded goal.
Actually in the second half our midfielders have gone too far ahead instead of trying to create chances, the defence has remained a little behind too. I’m very angry for the defeat but happy for the first 45 minutes, it counts for nothing but for a time, I‘ve seen the team that I would like to see, but my team should put the same performance in the whole game without being influenced by negative incidents, we are a big team that cannot fall for a goal. The team is working very well and we saw that in the first half, in two weeks it was not that easy to get that performance, again we had to close it before the goal, we can just roll up our sleeves and continue to work well, and sooner or later the results will come.”
Mazzarri said the same things?
“I do not know, I talk about my work and what I see, I cannot get others.”
