After the final-whistle the Inter coach Roberto Mancini spoke to La Domenica Sportiva about his mens performance, and started with the penalty-kick that Mauro Icardi missed:
“Unfortunately you can miss penalties in football. There were the actions before and after that shouldn’t been missed, however we kept playing and we had patience. The team has improved, we had gaps and we have to continue to improve but the mentality is right. I don’t know if we qualify for Europa or not but that doesn’t change our future.”
“Lazio is a great team and they defended really well even with nine men. It’s not easy to find the right spaces in the last 30-40 metres, ‘Lazio parked the buss’ and it was difficult for everyone, then it wasn’t easy to vertical, we had Hernanes behind Icardi and in this cases you need to have a striker that takes responsibility to run over vs one, that Podolski, Kovacic and Palacio did. I substituted D’Ambrosio because he was tired, and we needed more pace therefore Nagatomo, who could keep an eye on Anderson and go forward if needed”.
Already from the first minute nevertheless with the non advantage, Inter showed personality.
“I’m very glad the way we played 11 vs 11, we played with character, we remained high up on the pitch. I satisfied what we accomplished. I believe that Serie A is the best league in the world regarding tactics, and to see that great players can be strong tactically”.
And ending the interview about the transfer window and Juventus away game:
“Dybala and Touré are players that belongs to other clubs, there is no news. Barnabeu will not be easy for Juve, they have an advantage and have to exploit it”.

Awful performance, awful substitutions. Medel was redundant as soon as we had the man advantage, you don’t need a defensive midfielder who’s useless at going forward when you play 11v9. The 2nd half was absolutely abysmal from Inter, we got lucky, but I take the win though!
Funny how we play better against teams with 11 players
‘Lazio parked the buss’ he says but he forgets that Lazio’s bus almost scored even when they were with one player less and even two players less. Sometimes it looked like the red cards were on us not on Lazio.
I’m happy for the victory more than anything but at least none of Mancini and the players can brag because the game was shitty. We just got tremendously lucky. He keeps sending in Podolski who is a sure departure this summer while he keeps Shaqiri on the bench. And Shaqiri is not a pure playmaker, yes he takes the ball from behind the strikers but he always plays on the wings. So Shaqiri and Hernanes can play together.
Kovacic was great in the dying minutes cause until the 70 minute even i could have played like him, passing every ball to the defense. Maybe Mancini should wonder how to make him play like that for the whole game.
And Icardi is not a God, he is just an overconfident teenager with some average skill. The penalty happens but the assist of Hernanes, WTF !!! Mancini shouldn’t be afraid to bench him and show him he’s not that God he thinks he is. Give some room to Puscas, he can definitely outrun Icardi.
And looking forward to see Shaqiri in the next game in since Hernanes got suspended and especially Gnoukouri since Guarin got injured. Loving that awesome eighteen year old midfielder ^_^
P.S.
JUAN JESUS IS A FUCKING CENTRAL DEFENDER !!!!! DON’T PLAY HIM AS A FULL BACK -_-
I have to disagree with you regarding Juan, mate. His concentration is lacking as a central defender
And how do you think he contributes as full back.
He’s done okay. He’s not the attacking fullback, i know. But he’s done his job limiting the damage on the left side
What about the attack where Candreva was wrongly in offside. That was the most dangerous situation since the second red. And it came from JJ area. Also if most of the time vidic was covering his ass cause he was …. Nowhere. To me JJ should be on the bench
true. he remind me of Alvaro Pereira. good at defending but bad at attacking. well tbh, JJ still far from Pereira
18 goals in the toughest league in the world doesn’t just happen. Licardi won the penalty not easily. Right place right time most of the time is no coincidence. I can go on and on but I’ll stop.
3 away wins since 2 and a half years ago. You have issues seriously dude get a girlfriend or get a hug bro.
In Mancini we trust
Fora Inter
Hahahahahaha and who’s saying i don’t have a girlfriend though :/
If you can please read the reply to Frans, i don’t want to write another novel here 😀
Forza Inter always but just because we won doesn’t mean it was a good game. And all i’m saying about Icardi that he is too overrated, cause he can do ten times better than that and he should because that kind of wasting isn’t good and he has done that all season long.
And Mancini shouldn’t be satisfied at all cause we barely won against a 9 men Lazio. We just were lucky to win.
I’m on the same side with you guys and i take this win gladly but if we wanna be realistic about this game we just got lucky…
seriously? puscas over icardi? Puscas got talent i give you that but please he don’t have anything to top icardi right now., and you don’t score 18 goals with average skill.
His conversion rate sucks, he’s thinking he’s some Ibrahimovic but he ain’t that. The whole team supplies him with balls and what he does is only wasting and wasting more chances. At least the pass he got from Hernanes should have gone on target not hitting pigeons outside of the stadium.
Let’s say then he is a bit over the average. If he was this good we would already be getting 50 millions for him, cause that is what a striker with his numbers and age would get in today’s market if not even more but every team can see that he wastes too much opportunities. Just look at Milito no one else. We all know Milito, we have seen him playing.
And if he had let’s say three or two chances at least he would score once. But with Icardi is not like that. U give him 5 clear chances of scoring and yet he fucks it up somehow.
I’m not saying he is bad cause clearly he isn’t but there are a lot of things he has to improve. Like being more efficient because if we want to fight for the title next year we don’t have the luxury of Icardi wasting dozens of opportunities every game. My point is just that he is not the fucking brazilian Ronaldo or something like that.
P.S.
Yeah Puscas doesn’t have anything to top him because he isn’t getting playing time. That’s all he needs.
I almost agree with what you said. but with this youngster, we need patient. fans always speaking to give chance to youngster, Icardi only 22, and almost playing from the start. just pray that he will learn from this
JJ can’t play anywhere, lol
“I substituted D’Ambrosio because he was tired, and we needed more pace therefore Nagatomo, who could keep an eye on Anderson and go forward if needed”
That quote says everything for Mancini as a coach!
I don’t understand why santon isn’t playing…he’s better than dambrossio and definitely better than the japanese chicken
Kids will never understand football..
Exactly!! Your name says it all..that’s why a club like rube has fans…kids don’t understand football
Shhh u racist fuck.
What…? I think you should turn your brain on before you speak little girl
Bro chicken yes but come on bro don’t take piss out of someone nationalality that’s just dumb. And being a inter supporter yr not dumb.
No I meant that he is a headless chicken…Nagatomo personally not the Japanese people 😛
