Mancini Salme

“I’m sorry for the defeat, we did not deserve it. But this is football and we have to accept it.”

Roberto Mancini talked to Mediaset Premium after the burning loss at home against Torino: “Problem in the attack despite new arrivals? Only Podolski played, while Shaqiri played only 30 minutes and needs training. The result is absurd, but I liked the team because it played, even if we slept on that corner. In the last 20 meters we must bring out the quality, speed and technique: the attackers today failed to do this. Icardi has great quality but needs to improve in many things and learn to understand certain game situations. Things that is done well by Palacio, who now had to play on the left.”

“The Champions League? We always have to keep believing, football is strange and things can change. The team must continue to do what it has been doing in the last two games, against Samp on Wednesday and today. The boys must understand that they play for Inter and then attack with maximum intensity at the San Siro. Sometimes we are too soft. Football is cruel sometimes, you lose a game you should have won, but football is like that: we must start with the understanding that we are doing well.”

On the injuries:”It’s a little fatigue, Andreolli and D’Ambrosio played on Wednesday also. It can happen.”

On the transfer market: Lucas Leiva can still arrive?” I don’t know, let’s see what will happen during the week.”
