In an interview with Inter Channel, Roberto Mancini commented on the victory against Empoli like this: “We knew it would be a difficult game, the conditions were complicated. Empoli played really well, we got into difficulties but we came back. We were a bit too low in the first half, Icardi was cut short too much and we were struggling. The guys are giving their all, the hunger is needed to stay ahead. Perisic? Playing to the left is the best position for him, he can do more things, but he works well for the team and that’s great. Sassuolo? We hope for the three points (laughs).”
