Speaking to Mediaset Premium after the success achieved in the final minute against Atalanta, Roberto Mancini started by commenting on his unrestrained celebration on the bench for the goal by Jovetic: “I was happy because we had a lot of chances. After ten minutes we played better all the time but could not find the goal, but Atalanta is a team that defends well and even with ten players they are closing down well.”
“The transfer market? We are happy and we enjoy this victory. Today there were surprising results, Inter played a match that was better than good with 70 percent of possession and 21 shots on goal. Icardi? I was wrong and shouldn’t have to put him on the pitch from the start, he was calm and could not run after the bad feeling he had in the last five minutes of the warm ups.”
On the results of the rivals: “The first five or six league games are difficult for everybody. For us it was important to play a good match, suffer little just as we did, we need to improve some things but I’m happy. Kondogbia? Geoffrey improved a lot in the last ten days after he suffered from the loads of preparation. He’s a young guy and you can’t expect him to change the team at once. He needs time, I believe that in the next two years he will become one of the strongest midfielders in the world.”
He ends by talking about the transfer market: “Perisic? I have no idea if he will come. He can play in every position, increase the quality and we are few in number. Tonight I also let an 18 year old guy make his debut. Borini? He’s good and young, he did well in Italy and has had some trouble in England. I like all the good players. Balotelli to AC Milan? I would be happy because he deserves another chance. With his qualities he can be useful to Milan and the Italian national team.”

Mancini at least gives some chances to the young lads like Gnou and Minaj. Good start, I expect better movements and less selfishness in the attack next time.
Mancini admitting he was wrong! ALERT THE PRESS!!!
It’s not like it’s Mazzari.
But still he is kind of stubborn
but every coach has their “stubbornness” .. at least every top coach.. you can see that in van gaal, cappelo, fergie, and many more..in fact that will be good sometimes, because he really know what he want from his player, and he make it clear.. maybe sometimes it’s annoying.. but i hope we can do well this season.. i’m not hoping for scudetto, CL spot will be great..
with Perisic and Coentrao we would seriously challenge for the scudetto
Very promising start for all the team except for Palacio. I really didn’t like him and I hope that he will never be a starter in this team. So we really need Perisic and someone for the left back position like Coentrao.
Jj was pretty decent defensively the only real problem I have with him is his crossing other than that he’s a freaking freight train at LB.
i think he start to show some improvement in the left.. at least he start to cross the ball.. but still long way to go if he want to be our starting line up material, because mancini said he need FB to push forward..
