Inter ex captain Giuseppe Bergomi spoke to Corriere della Sera about his former team.
“Everything is there for a relaunch in 2016 for Inter. I don’t know if they will be able to win a trophy but I do think they will achieve the goal of qualifying for the Champions League which was the goal set by president Thohir before the season. They have also taken on two heavy transfer windows so as to be able to return to Europe. Is Mancini freer than Mihajlovic? If Roberto had not been free they would have let Mazzarri stay on as coach. In a top club the work on the pitch does not represent more than 15% of what a coach does. I don’t want to take anything away from Ausilio but Mancini is in the center of the strategies.”
Regarding the transfers:
“I think that Inter have a complete squad. There is no need for a deep playing midfielder, I would rather go for a striker that can play as a winger as well. Someone like Karim Bellarabi (Bayer Leverkusen), I am less convinced by the Lavezzi deal. He is 30 years old and there is a risk that he is not hungry anymore.”

this is an interview with a club icon whom positioned himself as one of the hard core interista. he spoke what we’ve been talking on. he know how useless lavezzi would be just like how lots of us pointing toward that point. what a legendary idol am admired at.
” If Roberto had not been free they would have let Mazzarri stay on as coach.” wow.. somebody here must be happy if that realy happen. XD. “In a top club the work on the pitch does not represent more than 15% of what a coach does. I don’t want to take anything away from Ausilio but Mancini is in the center of the strategies.” agree with you..
Totally! In a top club the coach doesn’t really COACH or train his players – they already know how to play football so he makes the club buy, what he needs to put together the strongest team and then spend time on making everyone come together and on motivating the players… Mancini was given that “freedom of spending” which Mazzarri, Stramma or even Benitez weren’t given!
because mancini has the charisma and skill to convince every club president in the world for what he can do and he’s a coach with a clear vision(or people here call it stubborn).. LOL.. that’s what stramma, mazzari, and benitez don’t have in my oppinion..
He has won everywhere – which none of the others have and therefor the club-owners are willing to spend big for him
that’s one of the reason too.. but he’s nominated as the worst inter coach ever by some of our fans.. LOL.. hahaha XD
are we both talking about Mancini or??
mancini. i don’t know if you still remember or you read it before.. but some of the fans wrote that he’s the worst coach that inter ever have.. hahahaha.. i guest you know who they are.. XD
Well, that’s just stupid! He may have buildt upon a solid foundation made by Hector Cuper, but still HE toke the team farward and made it even stronger adn won the Coppa in his 1. year if I’m not mistaken… the winning mentality Mou found when he arrived came from Mancini and his work, no one else – which is the same mentality Pelligrini has found at City!
actualy, mancini sign maicon, cambiaso, viera, and many more to be the core of inter at that time.. and i agree with you that he gave us the winning mentality that we lose for so many years.. that’s why most of city fans still miss him a lot..
You are idolizing him a bit too much. Mancini has some very serious weaknesses too, like not getting along with players like Balotelli, Osvaldo and Tevez which are well known cases. Recently you heard of rifts with Icardi, Jojo and others. While these may be not true, there is no fire without smoke. In my opinion he is a great coach but he is too stubborn and inflexible. The defeat against Lazio should have never happened.
nope, i’m not idolizing him.. just unfair to blame him with something that didn’t happen. and the fact that our team now start to look like a team.. and the fact that the news only come from certain media(that control by you know who) confirm it.. if you watch the friendly today, you can see the atmosfer of our team was very good, even with the lost.. every great coach are stubborn, because they has their own vision and ideology to follow.. if mancini lose his stubborness and listen to us to make his decision, than we should sack him immediately.. because we wasting time and money for a coach with no vision..
Agreed, in no other sport is the coach belittled as much as they are in soccer. And its even bigger in italy. everybody thinks they can do the coaches job. Mancini is a great coach, ppl like to say hes only good because all his owners spend. there’s a reason for that, he convinces them to spend, an owner will always spend if he believes in the project. The fact that he convinces the players to join him as well is no fluke. And shows his talents as a coach which in soccer is called a manager. And there arent alot of Managers that manage a team as good as him. And inter fans should respect what he has done for us in the past. And the little he’s done now is already more than any coach we’ve had since 2011
Wow,this is why i like to read comments from neutral fans, rather than certain player manager fanboy or haters
couldn’t agree more!!! ^^
Idolizing or fanboy comment like this: kova is god, mix of xavi iniesta,if he still in the team we will be +10 on top,lolllll….
LOL.. hahaha.. made me remember somebody.. XD
Lol do you even realize the players you mentioned? Those guys are all assholes, they dont get along with a lot of other ppl in general. They’re divas. And the players on our team now there isnt any rifts, he chose icardi as captain which was soley his choice, theres no problem there at all.
Tevez,balotelli and osvaldo are dicks
there’s the moment for pelergrini to laugh out loud. real loud. where he topped mancio
realy!?as far as i know, city fans don’t really like pelegrini and they still want mancini to comeback.. that’s what i hear from my friend who is a city fan..
yeah, your point is my point, but the way their management try to bend the media attention and the spotlite toward pelegrini is somewhat massive attempt :))
I disagree …… what Mancini does that Strama, Mazzarri and Strama don’t do is bitch and cry like a baby and threatens to quit if he doesn’t get what he wants………..As far as saying that he’s won wherever he’s gone here is a fact: MANCINI HAS NEVER PASSED THE QUARTERFINALS IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE !!
Kind of agree with my old hero Bergomi – In a 4-2-3-1, we don’t need a deaper midfielder like Pirlo when we already have Ljajic to play an attacking mid – behind Jojo or Icardi. On the left wing we have Perisic but we need someone on the right wing (still I like Biabiany a lot but he’s not world class like Lavezzi f.x) BUT if we want to play 4-3-3 (which is the best system for Brozo to flurish in, and Kondogbia aswell plus Medel seems to work best as a true destroyer in that system aswell, then we really could need a regista/”pirlo” type of player, which means problems for Ljajic or one of our central strikers Icardi/Jojo – stiill in a 4-3-3 Lavezzi would be very useful!
we just need player to do plan B or C if our strategy deadlock.. not reinforcements capt.beppe.. 🙂
so maybe inter needs new RB, a regista, mid.playmaker, n additional striker.. 🙂
Bellarabi is a better option than Lazezzi and cheaper I guess. He has a good shot, a good dribble, pace and he is strong. I already have him at Inter in football manager 🙂
i don’t think so bro.. karim price tag in real world is more expensive 😀
yes he’s a great no doubt! But cheaper?? Lavezzi has a contract running out so there will only be a minimum transfer fee to pay, plus Lava would be readdy to make an impact right away because he knows everything there is to know about Italian football, the langue and culture whereas Bellarabi would need some time to adjust!
