Roberto Mancini was happy when he spoke to Mediaset Premium after the 3-1 win at San Siro against Genoa: “We are pleased with the result and the performance in the first half. In the second half we played worse as the three players behind Icardi were tired and the team suffered immediately because of this. Today, the best first half of my time at Inter? I hope the team can always improve, but many problems remain to be solved and we will do it slowly.”
He explained his reasons for not playing Shaqiri: “I didn’t want to run the risk that he got injured. He made only one workout, it wasn’t worth the risk. He or Podolski in the Europa League? We have a two weeks, it’s a nice problem and we will solve it.”
On the performance of Guarin: “With the quality he has he can improve in that role. It is clear that he has to think a little more there, and it’s not easy to do it for the whole game. The track for Lucas Leiva still open? I don’t know which track but surely something will remain open.”
A comment on Vidic: “His goal gave us peace of mind in the end but it’s important for him to have a good match. With every match that passes he can find better condition.”
Closing on Hernanes: “He has important qualities, not his role, but he can try.”
No comment regarding Osvaldo: “We talk about the game.”
