Roberto Mancini

Roberto Mancini was also interviewed by Sky Sport and tried to explain the bitter loss against Genoa: “We played a great game, but we don’t score goals. Therefore you take all the risks there are in a football game. Genoa pressed a lot, you can surrender yourself to some counter-attacks, but this match should have been closed already in the first half. No cynism in front of goal? No, that’s not the problem. You have to score goals when you have the ball to do it, hit well, shoot well. It is the same as it was against Frosinone or like many other games that we have lost: we have to score even on the first ball, you have to be cynical. The possession of the ball decisive against us? Napoli created nothing against us, tonight we created sensational scoring chances: the possession of the ball has nothing to do with that. Football is like this: the one who scores wins.”

The pattern that frees Perisic at the far post, even though it doesn’t always turn into a goal: is that a problem?
“He works hard, it’s not really his job to score goals. Then it is obvious that he knows how to do it, he’s always there and next year he will score 10 goals. He’s a very important player and runs a lot,  and therefore he can make mistakes sometimes.”

Will you be able to create a synthesis between the Inter pulled the break and won 1-0 and this Inter that plays well and loses?
“But that’s part of football. I repeat: Inter is beginning to have a core of the team. It’s obvious that it still needs to improve, but it has also played a very good game tonight.”

Do you need a quality player?
“We’ll see. We are also young and we can only get better. If you change seven or eight players every year… It ‘s just a matter of time, The road is the right one. But losing these kinds of games doesn’t give great pleasure.”
