New statements by Roberto Mancini, present yesterday at the ceremony for the National Prize of Culture in Frontino in Montefeltro. “Beating Juventus would be a big coup and an important thing – said the Inter coach -. It’s the Derby d’Italia, it will surely be a nice evening with two great teams. Now we need a good match from Inter. We will prepare for it as always: it’s a historic match, it brings automatic motivations and other than that, in recent years, this Derby of Italy has become very special because of all the controversies that have been let loose… It should be well prepared because it brings with it attention and most of all a particular pressure.”

Inter has not beaten Juventus at home since April 16, 2010, the year of the Treble. “Well, then that’s enough: it’s already been too long…” jokes Mancio. Then some reassurances from the infirmary: “Kondogbia is doing well, he will be available. If I’m glad Jovetic hasn’t played with Montenegro? If he played on Sunday I will be even more happy. Ljajic? I didn’t see his game, but there’s no problem with him. I hope Adem will get used to the environment as soon as possible, we must give him time. I believe in him, certainly. Otherwise I wouldn’t have asked to get him to Inter.”
