Mancini Salme

Roberto Mancini held a press conference ahead of the first friendly fixture on Inter’s tour of China when the Nerazzurri go up against Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.

“Right now Bayern are ahead of us in terms of preparation for the season, they started their training 20 days ago. We want to give a good performance. We have improved as a team, we have new players and I hope that we will be able to fight for the Scudetto.”

“Inter is just like Bayern, these are 2 very important clubs. I hope it will be a great match. We love our Chinese fans and we need all the support we can get, this is why we’re here. Shaqiri? He is here with us, he has a minor injury problem so I don’t know if he’s ready. If he doesn’t play now he’ll surely play against Real” Mancini concluded.
