After Inter’s crucial 2-1 victory against Roma, Roberto Mancini spoke to Sky Sports about the match and Inter’s upcoming fixtures:
“We played well against Roma, one of the best teams in the league. My players played and suffered. The Giallorissi have good players, but in the end we won. Roma came out with a very offensive formation, which allowed us to play openly. It was a good match. Shaqiri, Podolski and Kovacic came on and did well. They changed to game. Mateo in particular was extraordinary and he had a good attitude. He can play anywhere if he plays well. Mauro, as we all know, is a great striker, and he can improve even more. He had a lot of chances, but he is not afraid of making mistakes and that is a great quality he has. Although he missed a big chance, he redeemed himself and scored. Ranocchia and Vidic have improved a lot, as well as the whole defensive unit. The only think I have to comment on is the fact that we give the ball away. We have to improve on this if we are to play out from the back. Europe? It is four point away. If only we got the point we dropped against Cesena and Parma (sarcastically). These three matches next week will be crucial in the race for the European places.”
