Mancini spoke to the press after the disappointing 2-1 loss to Wolfsburg this evening that saw Inter eliminated from the Europa League. Here are his words: “They had a 3-1 advantage coming in and it made them much more relaxed. They scored a goal and it made it much more difficult. I do not know if they are any better, but they certainly made less mistakes.”
What did you not like?: “We had prepared for the match and hoped to be more effective on the wings, but we had to open up in order to have chances going forward. But that dropped when they got the goal and it became difficult.”
Is there a lack of soul?: “We must not concede goals, the defence is fundamental: probably through my own fault. This is the basis of everything: in Europe you can not give away chances and concede goals in the first 20 minutes.”
Do you fear you are with a team without motivation or ambition?: “This was a game that could improve the seasons outlook, but the team should not be discouraged. Inter are Inter and there are still 11 games to play. Third place is far away but there are reasons to compete.”
Will the game against Samp give you ideas regarding what do you do to the team for next season: “I will have opportunities to evaluate for next season. We are working; however, our objectives are always to take as many points as possible. The disappointment is significant because we believed : In 48 hours we hope to recover and have a good match.”
How are Shaqiri and Kovacic?:“Shaqiri was ready to come in if it became 2-1 but I preferred not to risk him. Kovacic took a knock midway through the first half and had a knee problem and could not continue.”
Guys it hurts to c our situation is not strong, but you lot take the piss. In the early 90’s that inter team was a lot weaker. In every other game u need luck or the ref to b in yr favour. We don’t have neither do u guys instead of showing compassion u bitch and bitch on this blog all the time. If u guys want supports winners or the time then go support a different team. I am inter through thick and fucking thin for life win lose or draw. The mgt sacked WM and yes they were rgt to replace him with MANcini for obvious reasons. Wait till he gets his own defenders and AM/DM strikers. Forza Inter for life.
Let this be part of the history. We all agree that RM doesn’t have the team that really up for the game. But tonight, i saw at least a fighting spirit from the players even in slightness moment. These are the reaction we all missed except for some few mistake that gave Wolfsburg chance to capitalized. By the end of the season Inter and RM have time to reflect and evaluate the team and make right decision. Surely, next season is something to look out for even if we only have to be contempt will Scudetto and Coppa Italia.
I wonder why the questions always too soft, that’s not even close to expose what happen on the field..
Next time, please ask him:
1. Why he always send players that fans didn’t want to see them on the pitch?
2. Why he always use tactic that everyone already know it’s didn’t worked?
My question will be ‘when you say you want effective on the wings, why the hell you put CAMPAGNARO ON THE FLANK? Thank you ‘
Inter is inter,,,,hahaha
this team team will go in the garbage of Inter’s football history, we need a full change, Campagnaro, Rannochia, juan jesus, Kovacic, d’ambrosio… all average players, no champions… all must go.
none of them are average…when a team is bad everyone is bad…we are changing our players every season because they are “average” but when a team isn’t a team you can’t expect anyone to do well.
