Roberto Mancini spoke to Mediaset Premium after the defeat against Sassuolo.
“This is football. You have to play and try to score even against teams that are less “good”. We were a bit incomplete today, but I can’t say that we deserved to lose. We need to continue to play as we do, the boys are giving their everything and the fans have to help us out. Today we were unlucky, We payed for our misstakes, and we have to accept that and move on”.
Mancini got the question about the Vidic substitute:
“At first I chose him but then we wanted to take out Donkor instead, It doesn’t change anything a defender still got substituted”. Icardi and the fans? ”
It’s one way to ventliate air, I’m sorry because the fans are the first one’s that want the players to feel good, but when you loose your feelings can take over the control”.

Hey Mr Mancini , Play Kovacic as a deep lying playmaker. 4-3-2-1 is okay. but u have to go inside the box !!
what the fuck are u doing mancini ?!!!!! if u don’t want to be a real coach for inter “then leave”
I am done with Guarin, I wont watch games starting with Guarin anymore , he is a disgrace .. a worthless excuse of a footballer… not professional.. it all atarted with him not tracking and covering defence and caused us the first goal. .. i cant believe he walks while other players run for their lives to earn a win… very incompetitive player… reminds me of balotelli… #Guarout
I agree with Mancini. Now the lads did much more than against Torino. It is pity it did not deserve even a point. Move on.
In my opinion, considering the players that we have this is our best formation and players: – this is when we have a fully fit team in a few weeks.
I just dont see Kova out on the wing. Shaq is better out there and kova is better at finding passes from the center. The personnel however is the best we have I’d say.
Side note: what is Brozovic’s position? CDM/CM/CAM I feel like he’d be a better option than Kuz but I dont know enough about him to say.
That is Kova’s best and preferred position. His best games for inter were form exactly that position running from the midfield at the defenders. He needs space to operate.
Not quite sure about brozovic. To be honest, i do not share most inter fan’s optimism about him.The clips i have seen of him are decent, but not anything spectacular. About his preferred position, he said he likes playing as a cdm, but most of his highlights are goals/ assists so i’m not sure, again.
As for kuzmanovic; He may not be the best midfielder around, however, he has been one of the most consistent performers this season. You know exactly what you are getting with him, nothing more, nothing less.
kova has been horrible lately just like hernanes so why would you start them? kuz is average at best and he cant defend for shit. that midfield is just… wrong, and ugly
So who would you start?? Obi? Khrin?…
i dunno but brozovic – medel should def start together
Sorry but brozovic is not any better than kuz and the rest
So you’ve seen clips on youtube and decided Brozovic is not good enough. Are you a fucking clown or what? You haven’t based your comments on any facts. As someone who’s watched him many times I will say that Brozovic will be starting sooner than later, and more likely with the team playing like this he might even push Kova out. The team needs stability and hard workers who are tactically sound but also can go forward when required, everything Brozovic does. He’s in the Croatia team because Niko Kovac needed exactly this type of player and knew only one guy who could do the job, Brozovic. Fool
Youtube clips provide the best moments and skills. The fact that not even those are impressing is worrying.
What is also worrying is that you have to resort to insults just because we share different opinions.. get over yourself.
Fuck off, and actually learn about football instead of watching 5 minute video’s and thinking you know something. You know nothing
did you see brozovic in action last night? useless passes and killing opponents.
Fuck off, and actually learn about football instead of watching 5 minute video’s and thinking you know something. You know nothing
Sometimes i think that Mancini it’s delusional, when he talks like that. We don’t playing shit and that’s for so many games, what the hell he’s talking about? It’s so hard to understand, that when you lose game after game, that something doesn’t work and you have to make changes? This system doesn’t work, Podolski, Shaqiri and Palacio are not wingers, Medel it’s total flop, Guarin as always one game plays good, then five is terrible, Kovacic it’s not trequarista, etc. And when he decided to switch with three at the back, why don’t sub Ranocchia, but Vidic, who was our best defender until then? When we haven’t no idea in the play, where the hell is Hernanes?
Of course we deserved to lose mancio. i totally agree we need a change to shake things up. 4-3-1-2 with midfield diamond and try to get a partnership goin up front. So frustrated.
Fuck you Mancini, we are playing like shit and all you have to say is that we need to continue like this? We didn’t deserve to lose? Wtf, of course we deserved to lose, Sassoulo was better at every segment of the play. We deserved to lose against Empoli too it was pure luck that we didn’t. So that’s three games in a row in which we didn’t show anything, not even a desire to win. Against fucking Empoli, Torino and Sassoulo, teams that are happy just to stay in the league.
Stop with the fucking exuses and do something, bench Palacio for start. Then bench Kova for a few games and talk about his self-confidence, he is not showing anything on the pitch. He had two chances to score today, instead of shooting he played a back pass both times. Bench Guarin and Podolski to, they are not showing anything either. Give a chance to Bona and Puškaš, we are already losing points everywhere, so there wouldn’t be no harm in giving our youngsters a chance.
I guess next season will be another year zero result wise.
We Must back to 4-3-1-2 . this formation is not good . Best Formation with this garbage Mid is 4-3-1-2 :/
A chain is as strong as its weakest link. We play like we’re Barca. Lots of passes and possession. Trying to bring a lot of players up front and force our way in. I can get that, it’s not a bad tactic. But when you pass the ball to Guarin or the Dodo bird and they fuck up right away you have a whole pitch to cover back. We should rely on Kovacic and Shaqiri’s explosive speed and technique and produce fast and direct attacks.
I am agree with you but when we haven’t good players what must we do ? We should used them better . Manco need iniesta or xavi for play like barca but when we Haven’t them , absolutely we can’t plays like them . with 3 mans in Midfield we can look the games . I think Kovacic is not right man for behind the Forwards.
manco need to try 4-3-1-2 with this players :
Kovacic – Medel – Brozovic
Hernanes
Shaqiri – Icardi
Mentality is the biggest problem imo. Kovacic has the skills to shred most defenses in half, and played like a little kid today. And I’m not even sure what his role is. Besides passing the ball back to the defenders. I don’t think we lack quality, but most of the players play on 20 percent of their potential. No self-confidence, no guts. Mancio needs to work on this above all.
We need a new captain. I’d rather see Icardi with the armband. Even if we will most likely lose him in the summer. At least he has the balls to play when things don’t go well.
no one in our team has better leadership then rano regardless of performance
Yeah? On Fifa 14 maybe. Has he shown any trace of leadership since he took over? Flop after flop and shaky performances, panic, fear in his eyes and sometimes I even wonder if there’s an idea in his head while getting overtaken by someone. I’ve always liked him and I’m always the last to criticize him, but he’s not fit for a captain. Zanetti has never been the best player in the squad. But he has always been the most stable and reliable and consistent one. Year after year. Rano isn’t consistent enough to even be in the starting team.
you don’t know how to read ?
i said “regardless of performance” , and you went rambling about how he’s not a good player . do you think icardi can be a captain with all his of the field stuff . i didn’t see anyone holding guarin and icardi from the fans , and i don’t see anyone who goes across the field to talk to the ref because his teammate got a card . when don’t have a better leader then rano . plus how is leadership skills related to a video game ?
you don’t know how to interpret sensory information? I pointed out enough personality traits that, regardless of performance, are incompatible with a captain’s character.
Also I’m dreadfully sorry, professor. But in football in order to earn the respect and trust of others you need to prove yourself on the field. Disregarding his performance leaves him with only kind words that no one heeds. Did Icardi or Guarin listen to him after the match while arguing with the angry crowd? Does anyone ever? He might be the nicest guy ever, but a captain is there to set an example. And he can’t set anything.
u need to stop complaining . bye
the whole fcking midfield needs to go, so slow, 4-5 touches on the ball before passing, they are so predictable
