Mancini: “I am very sorry for my players. We must accept the outcome”

Inter managed to turn around a 3-0 first-leg deficit to force Juventus to penalties at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The penalty shootout then decided the outcome of the match, with Juventus carving the path to the ‘Olympic’ in Rome and reaching Milan in the final. It may still be met with positivity from Roberto Mancini, who obviously hopes that this game may be the turning point for this final period of the season. The coach analyses the 120 minutes of tonight in the usual post-potch press conference.

FcIN – Inter does not bring home progression, but this game gives great confidence for the next games. How satisfied are you? 

“I want to compliment my team, I am very sorry for my players because they deserved to reach the final. I’m very happy for them, that’s for sure.”

You just played a great match against Juventus.

“We are happy with what we did, but we must also accept the outcome of the game.”

What has changed compared to Sunday, except for the players? 

“That was a game in which Juventus had only one chance with Hernanes at the start. The match was balanced, then our mistake changed the course of the game.”

He could have put Handanovic on without a problem with Eder? 

“I put Manaj on because he was fresh, then Carrizo made a great save in the end.

What is the situation of the injured players? 

“Kondogbia is in the hospital, while Santon and Medel were tired.”

What do you think of the criticism of this period? 

“I am not influenced by anyone. We lost points, so we are critical. We now have the knowledge that we have some quality, we see if we can be as good as tonight.”

From where did you watch the penalties? 

“I preferred not to look at them.”
