Mancini: “We played very badly and deserved to lose”

A disappointed and slightly angry Roberto Mancini presented himself in the Premium Sport Studio and had the following things to say:

“We played very badly in the first half and we deserved to lose. The first twenty minutes of the game were the worst ever. In the second half we created the chances needed to draw the game but we didn’t manage to score. In the first half we entered as if we had already given up, it seemed a pre season match. I’m very sad and deluded by the attachment of some players. Klose got to score way to easy.

We committed many errors in our build up and that was what gave Lazio the penalty. Murillo was a chicked, he should’ve stopped, it was easy to see that Keita would’ve entered to the right. It was a big mistake, and Murillo has played 35 games in the Serie A so he should now know these things, I hope this will teach him something for the coming season. Though that we have 11 red cards and have committed the least fouls in the Serie A is hurting. ”

“This game was important to secure the fourth place and to have a chance to reach the Champions League. We have a great difficulty in scoring goals, and we surely need more quality. When we reached the offensive third, we missed the last pass or shot, and we neither had the technique or the quality to score. Brozovic? He has always played as a false winger during the last month. He sometimes plays great games, and sometimes plays worse, this is typical for youngsters. He needs to improve his continuity, because he has the qualities and can play anywhere.”
