Three points thanks to the goal by Geoffrey Kondogbia. Inter wins in Turin and holds on to the lead in the standings. A satisfied Roberto Mancini was asked about the lack of goals from Icardi, who was replaced today in the 67th minute to make way for Perisic: “I don’t see why there is a need to always find some controversy. I didn’t send any signal, Mauro was tired and I needed someone fresher. Today he did what he had to do. From him a lot is expected because he is a great striker, in the end he will score more than everyone else: it is a matter of time.”
On the pitch from the first minute was Palacio: “Rodrigo was in very good shape, in fact, as long as he could hold on to his breath and his legs he was very important. The injury time? Six minutes of injury time wasn’t given even at Old Trafford against Manchester United (laughs), especially when United lost.”
Still on the performance of his team: “Today, to beat Torino we needed to do this. We missed other chances to make it 2-0, but against Torino, on this pitch, it is very difficult. In the first half we did very well, in the second half we were too far back but then we had to double up.”
Another denial on the rumors regarding Pirlo: “We have never talked to him and he has never been offered to us. The 3-5-2? We thought it would be a good thing to attack well. Clearly, if we had used it against Roma it would have ended not 1-0 for us, but 3-0 for them.”
