It was a disappointed Roberto Mancini that met the press after the draw against Parma.
How will you work from this point on until the end of the season?
“I am very disappointed about the game, especially the second half. The approach was not what I would have expected and the fans were right to boo. We did not let anyone have a nice Easter. Now all that matters is respecting the jersey until the end.”
You seemed very angry today.
“Of course, because it is not possible seeing certain things. Probably the faults are mine as well, we have been preparing for this game for two weeks. I probably can’t explain myself well.”
What do you think about the whistles and boos from the stands?
“The fans come to the stadium and they can whistle when the team plays badly. The players do what they can, but the fans are the fans. They have the right to whistle.”
The rhythm and intensity were absent from the get go, do you think the problem is a physical one or due to lack of motivation?
“San Siro represents Inter, we are an important club. The fans are used to better, obviously playing here is not easy. You need to be strong. There are a lot of points to play for still, we need to do our best to reach a goal.”
What made you think that you would be able to win a long series of games? What do you feel betrayed of?
“By no one, the physical conditions have nothing to do with it. Moments like these exist in football. At times you think that changing the coach things will go better. But it is not always like that. It will not be easy changing the trend but we will try.”
Why did you substitute Puscas?
“I wanted two wingers like Shaqiri and Kovacic with Guarin behind Palacio. Unfortunately it did not go well.
How much time will it take to come back to winning?
“We need to think about next season, while giving our all in these nine games. More will be required considering we did well at Genoa. Today was a step back and we need to change, fast.”
You say the lads give their all, but you admitted that the approach in the second half was the wrong one.
“Certainly. But games like these you win anyway, putting in that little extra that goes beyond the performance. I hope they can understand quickly what I want, we will practice tomorrow. I wish you all a happy Easter.”
