Before the press conference on the eve of Napoli-Inter, Roberto Mancini met with Inter Channel to answer questions sent in from fans via Twitter with the hashtag #3QuestionsToMancio. Here are the words of the Inter coach:
The player who impressed me the most?
“I didn’t know Icardi very well, in the beginning I had a different impression of him, then I have to say he is a great striker who will improve in the future. Then I want to add that I have not only found one that impressed me, I have seen many very helpful and good.”
What is missing to have continuity on the pitch?
“The team now has continuity, we have five good games, like against Fiorentina where we did not deserve to lose: football is like that. We must find the confidence, but it takes time for it.”
Kovacic and Shaqiri can play together behind an attacker?
“Of course they can play, also behind two strikers when the team will have more balance.”

This guy needs a reward for all the hard work he’s done with the team. I hope it comes at Rafa’s expense.
He has to try Shaq and Kova behind the strikers since Podolski is not doing well and Palacio has ups and downs. Just try it.
“Of course they can play, also behind two strikers when the team will have more balance.”
I think he doesn’t fully trusts the defense and maybe next year we might see {exact formation subject to change}:
———–Medel
Kovacic———Brozovic
Shaqiri———-“new player”
———–Icardi
Shaq and kova leading an attack would be very fun
yes. 😀
