It’s hard not to define tomorrow night at the Juventus Stadium as a crossroads in Inter’s season. Right inside the sports center ‘Angelo Moratti’, Roberto Mancini answer questions from the journalists present, anticipating the themes of the big challenge in Turin. FcInterNews.it proposes the direct text of the pre-match press conference.
What did he tell you Thohir before leaving?
“Dinner with the team is normal, he was here and he participated, he was glad.”
Financial talk can affect the team? Thohir has reassured you?
“I do not think I need to reassure anyone, he did not do so, they were regular meetings and there has been talk of objectives as always.”
It may be the day of the turning point?
“I don’t think so, there are still 13 games to go. But it’s an important game.”
Replicable approach for Bayern in the first half, or perhaps that of Bologna?
“We do not take on Bayern as an example, it is a different team, the game was different. Inter will bring home a positive result by playing well as in the Tim Cup despite the defeat. We had done well and we can get a result tomorrow. So as always.”
How can you help your players to turn the corner?
“The attitude must be positive, we must attack more than we did in the Italian Cup. Jovetic was too lonely, needs cohesion between departments. That result was not there, Juve deserved to win, but not like that”
Mourinho said that in Milan you get a professional, and we start from Inter. You now seem only from Inter, as you re-create the matrix that has led to successes?
“I am not alone, I have assistance from the company. Then I am the coach and it is normal. When one decides to coach knows that when he wins it with many people, and when it loses it’s just. I do not I have never felt alone, I always It had the support of all. to build what has been done in the past serving time, even then it is served. sometimes just six months, sometimes more. “
Earlier he lacked eleven titles, today the team has reference points. What has changed?
“The players are the same, almost always form the same, it would change the right. As it happens in all teams.”
Buffon said that in the first leg you would have been able to crush them, the same as also Bonucci said yesterday to you.
“I think he said of wanting to beat us as well as we do, it’s normal.”
There is disappointment ahead of the game?
“We both played well. But we knew that Juve had quality and was covered through experience.”
Have you ever thought of adapting a player from the middle down, as happened to Pirlo?
“Pirlo did it in time, it did not happen overnight. It serves someone prepared to do this. Ljajic? At the moment he is much more offensive, he has quality but he has to work. About that time must also defend, it takes time to change the role of a player. and if one is good technically can do many roles. but we thought, but we need time. “
If you got offered a role on the national team bench?
“I’m fine here at the moment, it is not my thought. Now I think only about Inter and next year’s objective. Then the national team in the future remains an important thing but there is still time.”
As the gap closes between Inter and Juve? With the market, with the work on the mentality, is it important keeping the same group?
“You get working on a team, improving in every session of the market because they are the players to give something extra with experience and quality. When Juve went to Serie B it took many years to find the team, passing by many players. Time is normal, they often buy players that do not fit. We have to work on a base by adding those who can make a difference.”
Is there is a game against Juve you remember with pleasure, or a clash with Allegri?
“With Juve it has always been good games because it is two major teams”.
The impression is that the gap is still high, you think it is diminishing?
“What is the strongest Juve is normal, they have won many championships like Inter from 2006 to 2011. Inter has improved a lot since last year and will improve next year. We are not very distant from Juve.”
What is the mistake you must not commit tomorrow?
“Do not concede goals, Juve at home will create many difficulties, the stadium helps them. You have to defend well, but it is easy to say in words. You have to do it on the field.”
As a spectator, were you more pleased with the first 60 minutes or the second part of Juve-Bayern?
“The 2-2 at home to how it had started the is a good result. Bayern causes difficulties for anyone, not just Juventus who then found the goal and then even threatened to win. In Europe there are important teams, that have bigger economic potential than the others. The final result was fair, but I think that Bayern has no opponents when they play.”
Who would you take away from Juventus to take him to Inter? What do you think of Rannochia who spoke of negative environment with him at Inter?
“I do not know what it refers to Andrea, I do not think of the othwer team. Juve have 4-5 young players and are very strong.
Juve are expected to win tactically?
“You always talk about tactics but not much change in the form. He has his own game system, he can vary one or two positions. It depends on Juve and our lineup.”
Dybala is a regret?
“We tried to get him, we thought he could be a great player for the future. We have done our best, when you do not take the big players it’s sorry but more will come along. Dybala will be a big player in the coming years.”
The effort with Bayern gives hope for a drop of Juve in the second half? Who looks best between Fiorentina, Roma and Milan for third place?
“I see Inter are better (laughs). If Fiorentina and Roma are ahead in the coming weeks they will understand how it can end up. There are many points to be played here until the end, Milan is behind but could gain form, they have recovered points in recent weeks. We’ll play to the end. I do not know but it certainly will not be easy for them as for us. “
