At the end of the match against Torino, Roberto Mancini met the reporters in the press room for the usual press conference after the game.

Considering that 1-0 is still the preferred result of this Inter, don’t you think that, considering that you do however still struggle to create chances, this team can only grow and really think about something more?
“We must grow, we know this very well. This is sometimes forgotten, we have 7-8 young players and we have to make our own mistakes. Winning here, on a difficult pitch, is still very positive.”

The new tactic today with 3-5-2 was a solution that proved to be successful. How much of the credit goes to the players who have made this transformation work so well?
“We thought about it and worked on this, thinking of a formation that would not get us in trouble. Torino does it with their style of play, we did well and it’s not a simple thing.”

Who do you fear most in the race for the Scudetto?
“That discussion concerns Roma and Napoli, we aim for third place.”

Meanwhile, this match was enriched by a number of peculiarities, for instance the Inter that sheds its skin constantly. What percentage of this change is wanted and what is necessary from having to know the team?
“We are growing, we are working. There are weeks where I understand that there are feasible discussions that weren’t there before. We must improve further because we have to play in a certain way, in the second half we suffered too much and wasted chances to make it 0-2. We have to change more things.”

Wash this the best performance by Kondogbia?
“Beyond the goal, he is growing. He did better in Bologna and on Sunday he did well when he came on. The boy is young, we must accept the positive things and those who aren’t.”

A negative second half today.
“We gave Torino the opportunity to play, in the first half Samir made no saves and there was that shot. Then in the second half they put us in trouble with the high balls and became more physical with the arrival of Lopez, then we wasted 4-5 breakaways. These are things we should not do.”

You’re thinking a lot about not conceding goals and solidity. When will it be the team that you want?
“We are still far from my idea, when we know each other better we will be. It will take some time.”
