During the second half of Inter-Cesena there was a visible discussion between Roberto Mancini and Mateo Kovacic. Mancini asked Kovacic to show himself more and be less lazy, the reply he got from Kovacic was: “why do you always only reprimand me?” This was heard by Sky’s Andrea Paventi on the sidelines.

our midfield cant survive without Hernanes or Kovacic…if both of them on the bench then the midfield losing the ball every 2 seconds….right now..Kovacic is the only player who can actually dribble and keep the ball in his feet…he needs confidence and Mancini is doing him harm more than use…idc if Kovacic plays like shit one or two games…Guarin is always on the pitch nomatter how bad or good he plays…Guarin never substituted….Mancini should find a way to play Shaqiri and Kovacic together…..when we play attacking football we are very dangerous….look at yesterdays second half against Cesena….we were so damn close to winning when we attacked and put pressure…look at the game against wolfsburg first half..we were brilliant..till Mancini fuckedup n decided to defend !!!
the issue with Mancini is that Kovacic is bench player under him, which means that he does not contribute in these losses they had recently. Why is criticizing a player that he does not play and is not critical of the starting 11 players that loss those games. It just seems that Mancini is coward criticizing a 20 year old that does not play and not the other players that play. If he does not like him then dont play him and sell him in the summer but don’t be a coward Mancini.
and yes mazzari was right about kovacic
if this escalates,I would like to see Mancini go. ridiculous thinking by Mancini to trust an very undisciplined untalented Guarin over real talent Kova.
mancini must have balls… i cant understand why we wont attack until we concede
Yep, Kova Sold..
I was and still am the biggest fan of Kovacic, but the ugly troth is that he is such a girly player. He doesn’t have that tough attitude to change the game, if he doesn’t believe in his self then how the hell he will ever develop in the world class player we all know he can be. I saw some comparisons with Coutinho here but we have to remind that Coutinho was different, he just couldn’t adjust to our football and they didn’t give him the chance but Kovacic has had enormous chances and yet he has delivered so little.
I wish he gets mature soon, but if not it would be better to sell him, maybe some years in a small club will give him the proper confidence to try to do the amazing things he can do in his own not just move like a retard in the field like he did today, he only had those two bright moments when he dribbled Cesena’s players beside that not even a good thing.
Coutinho did not get the same chances that is true. But to listen to the English media you would think that Cout. was Messi. The English media love to talk Liverpool up. While Cout has scored a couple of spectacular goals and provided some assists, it is only in the last 6 weeks that he has been effective in big games. Before this his good games were against weaker sides and nearly always at home when the game was won. Kovacic needs to man up to play for a big club, whether it is Inter or somewhere else.
if the question is who do you prefer to leave – mancini or kovacic?
i will vote mancini anyday!!!
No doubt about it.
if moratti was president mancini would be history today…he is destroying that kid..im from coratia and croatian newspapaers wrote about this almost evry day..why is kovacic again on bench??why is alwas his fault??
i guess mazzari was right about kovacic
no he wast…kovacic isnt trequatrista and he will nevr be trequatrista..he is the one that stars actions not finnish them
In this particular case, I’M TOTALLY WITH MANCIO!
Kova does have serious attitude issues; and most of the times, he plays too soft. As if he is playing in high school for fun! Just look at the ruthlessness of Shaq and Icardi and u’ll see what I’m talkin about.
hmm reminds me of Coutinho… to soft, didn’t play constantly and in the end was sold off – no, in the end he showed himself as a great player for Liverpool! Give the buy some time to grow and let Mancini reprimand the lad until he learns- but don’t you dare to sell him!
coutinho tried often harder and got less opportunities if I recall correctly
sometimes it the nature of the game that doesn’t suit the player. Italy are tough for young players to grow. It’s like the backyard where hard tackling and even tougher defense are priority so it’s obvious someone like Coutinho who presumably suitable playing in a more fluidity game like La Liga and EPL. Italian game are more static and defensive, but technically more demanding as we see same beginning to happen with Kovacic. But if he willing to follow the coach and tirelessly working hard he can make it.
kovacic isnt trequatrista…he is central midifielder…he is following the coach and that coach say after every match that he plays like crap that he must do better..and ranoo makes cardinal mistakes and he says nothing,guaro plays like ghost last few matches he says nothig,carizzo makes mistakes and he says nothing…because its easiers to say its kids fault…inter wants to make from kovacic trequatrista,something that he isnt…brozovic can play as trequatrista and he pled it couple time and played it good,but kovacic isnt trequatrista…he can became new pirlo not zidane…and we will make same misteka like we make whit pirlo…putting him on wrong position and putting 2 much pressure on him

he’s young don’t expect him to be ready for a team like inter in 20 years of age he needs experience so we have to make our mind if we want to go younger we must be patient otherwise get ready players if we have money or go kuz kuz
He is not much younger than Icardi and Shaq. But he doesn’t have that fighting spirit that it takes to play in Serie A.
I saw only the second half,..when kovacic was playing good,but in the final 30 to 25 minute he just disappeared when we just needed him the most.
I seriously do not understand why most of you are always pointing fingers at the coach.. You do realise the coachs job is to motivate and layout the foundation to the style he wants to play.. I mean inter were attacking none stop it was just that we were unlucky to be honest.. Cesena had a few opportunities only. And let’s not forget most of these players play 2-3 times between 7-8 days.. When Inter has a bench fit for two competitions you can start expecting something better.
indeed,i think somebody put a voodoo spell on us..this is too much bad luck.
Exactly same with my thought…
we didn’t create clear chances in this game just dangerous plays because of our lack of creativity (mainly placio) i think
What the hell are you talking about??? You could be unlucky in one or few games, but you can’t be unlucky in four months and so many loses, draws and failures. Who we should supposed to blame, when we’re looking pathetic and the whole world mocking us? If you don’t know we’re 7th in Serie A, but 8th and 9th Genoa and Torino are with one game less and they can pass us. 5th Fiorentina wich place give last european spot are 5 points ahead and one game less too. I want just one simple answer, how you can explain when we’re 1-1 in front of our fans against relegation team Cesena(in wich team only player that i was heard is Mudingay, guss why), you desperately need to win, you have only one substitution and you put in Santon instead of injured Dodo, when you have players like Hernanes and Brozovic, even Puscas on the bench? Of what we can be afraid?
First of all the player he has now is mostly what Mazzari has asked for not Mancini.. And second my point is the players are the issue.. We had 20 shots on goal and could only score one.. The problem is tiredness and our players not being clinical in front of goal how is that the coaches fault.. From the three subs you mentioned the only player that could’ve made an impact was Hernanes and that could’ve helped us with his experience and age, however I mentioned this in a comment before Hernanes is easily fatigued and injured so his saving him for the Wolfsburg match.. Especially that he saw Shaqiri leave the match like that… Also in the second half we were playing 4-2-3-1.. Basically four attacking players .. Actually 5 ( kovacic guarin podolski icardi palacio).
that is not true…shaqiri,podolski,santon are players that mancini asked…mancini nows how to win if you give him 300 mil euros and he will buy everything…his tactical knovlege is zero…he dont know how to motivate players…players actualy play worse every match…why do you think is that??i think is mancini fault and mancinis fault only
yes mancini is fool you are greatest coach history have ever seen
no im not the coach…i just remember what players mancini had before he was in inter and we played like shit…a now what players he had in man city and city newer had game…i know its hard for you 2 understand but those players mancini asked for not mazzari…if you read pappers you would know that shaqiri and podolski said that mancini call them to come to inter before ausilio…
Yes but that’s just half of what he asked for.. Let’s not forget our team was in an extremely bad shape with mediocre players.. He’s current team is equipped for a 4-3-1-2 and he needs players for a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3, in other words he needs at least two wingers one center back, one right back and a defensive midfielder, 2 of those will arrive in the summer (Murillo and toulalan).
In regards to what he has improved, inter played anti-football for more than a year and a half with Mazzari with 3-5-2, so to change to a back four and play football without having the summer to train the team is beyond expectations. That enough should be a reason not to blame the coach for what’s going on. Also, Guarin was a misfit since he came to inter and now look at how much he has improved, his worse games nowadays is better than he ever was before. Let’s not forget icardi, he used to be just a player that sits in the box and not contribute whatsoever in attacking plays and now he creates chances, cross the ball, building up play from the back and defends at some point (obviously he just started doing all of this so his not perfect at it but decent). So wait till next year to judge him but so far he is improving the team for the long run.
so he need 6-7 more players to make somehing??and when he get them they will need minimum 6 months to ajust to italian league..and then he will need 2-3 more players because someone isnt playing like he wants…its history repeating itself…same thing was in man city..he was asking for new players all the time…and one thing is sure,we dont have money for all those players unless we sell handa,jj,kovacic or icardi…and when we sell handa we wont find that good golie for 10-12 mil…ok murillo will step into jj shoes but who will play when icardi leaves??ginac?jovetic who is injure prone?you know whay guaro plays ok??because he finally plays on his position..he played best games in porto who played 4-3-3 then and he was right of those three players in midifild…we have playrs for 4-3-3 and for 4-2-3-1…palacio played like right winger for years and poldi like left…but now he wants to learn poldi who plaed whole his carrier as left winger to play on right…mancio need to try to play whitout medel…guaro,brozovic and kovacic/hernanes in midifield…shaqiri,icardi,palacio in attack…brozovic and kovacic played for national team couple times as defensive midfilers and it was ok..and brozovic played as trquatrista couple times…and he was better than kovacic…kovacic needs to play like central midfilder
palacio is 33 now he cant play as a winger, podolski is a prick because you saw how he played yesterday like that the first time since he came that he attempted to make shots and play decent football instead of talking BS all the freaking time around social media.. and do you know why he was playing well because Jochaim low(German coach) was in the stands to evaluate him. Podolski can play either side if he wants to, but he is tooo full of himself right now( i admit mancini had poor judgement in bringing him) but no coach can predict the future. Also, if you keep thinking we need another coach all the time, thats not inter right now (we are not in morattis era thats over).
Guarin played the same position before with mazzari, in a 3-5-2 thats like a 5-3-2 which means he played as a right central midfielder in inter( but he pased like shit and loses the ball consistently). In regards to kovacic, all interista love him but he is too lazy he is not taking that extra step to become a great player and i am afraid if he wont up his game he will not improve and become the world class player everyone expects him to be. He keeps hogging the ball around midfield and going around, but last night he actually showed glimpses on how to play a bit like a pro by making decisive moves instead of just showing of his skills.
i diddnt watch second half yesterday…i wsa 2 angry at mancini…because he should start whit shaqiri and guarin..he should rest them for wolfsburg match..and brozovic and poldolsi shoud started because they cant play in europa legue..i know we dont have best team in italy but every team can come to meaza and take points..every match we concede goals..and how the hell is mancini planing to win wolfsburg???maybee guaaro will score euro gol and shaqiri will do something magical and icardi will score…i really hope that you are right,really..but knowing mancini and his coaching skils even whit 3-4 new players europa legue will be top for us next year
In terms of who should’ve been fielded from the start I completely agree with you, I might’ve risked it and played with medel kuzmanovic and brozovic with kovacic behind podolski and puscas. However even with most of our starters played yesterday and they couldn’t score. From today till Thursday I want the team to have shooting practice from the defenders to forwards until it becomes printed In their minds and legs, because we need at least three goals because I’m sure Wolfsburg will score at least one.
u don’t know shit. mancini won something anywhere he worked. when inter will stop buying stupid fucked up balkan players then we’ll be good
And was kicked out everywhere he was working. And everywhere he was working insists for huge multimillion transfers. And everywhere he was working was a huge flop in eurpean tournaments.
i don’t know about his lack of tactical knowledge but definitely agree that he doesn’t know how to motivate players and that’s the main reason he failed badly in Europe
Thats only excuses! The pitch is not good, the weather wrong, the moon is not in the right position. The coach’s job is to work hard and at least to show some improvement after four months of work with the team. Another wasted chance at home against relegation team like Cesena is a failure and guess who’s responsibility is?
frigo it’s freaking 20 shots, it’s clearly the strikers fault for not scoring there were many chances icardi palacio podolski and even dambrosio Had several chances and did not score. The players had twenty opportunities to score and just got one that’s an absolute disgrace from the players not the coach. I seriously do not know how can I explain this better for you,, it’s clear as a bright sunny day what the problem is here, but let me clarify again it is the PLAYERS.
why because you have immense potential and you need to tap into it! if he isn’t hard on you that’s when you worry!
Great job Mancini -.-
He should be director of football, he is only good at bringing players in. He sucks at coaching.
Let’s buy back Balotelli to share the reprimands, he could show Kova his t shirt why always me
fu mancini. so many players has come in and he can’t get better results. he should be released in the summer. he destroys both kovacic and hernanes. this is BS
Thohir shouldn’t even assign him in the first place. this joker gets any job because of his time at Inter in the past (and let’s be honest, after the Calciopoli even Zeman could’ve been champion with Inter) and since then he proved how big of a flop he is as a manager, wherever he went
no man, i can understand why ET wants him, he brought our first trophy for years even though it’s just coppa..and it wasn’t on the calciopoli era…
yes and even before calciopoli he has players that can tear apart almost every team in europe and tell me what we achieved in europe. how many times multimilion players stayed on the bench instead for mancini lovers because i remember that time and he was one foot out of inter and calcopoli saved his ass!!!
Woohoooo…. Coutinho 2.0!
Mancini can go fuck him self, he has Done a terrible job since he took over.
Maybe it’s hard to continue the reign left by Mazzari..
You don’t change a club in 3 months but you can’t play a player like kova out of position and favorising guarin every fucking game.
He has a Decent team that should beat a team lika Cesena 10 Times’ in 10 games, especielly at home.
Guarin sucks, he has 75% correct pass and is the one WHO loose the ball before cesenas goal.
And why you think Cesena have a better team? Or Udinese, Torino, Sassuolo, Empoli and Celtic?
alright start bidding yall!
