Mateo Kovacic who left Inter to join Real Madrid in summer is more than happy to leave the nerazzurri behind him.
“It was an honor to play at Inter but Real is without a doubt on a higher level. And in Italy training sessions are boring, some are without the ball the whole session..In Spain the teams are superior technically and this is good for me because I get more spaces.”
The interview took place in Croatia with Sportske Novosti and was mainly focused on the midfielders move to Spain. Kovacic did not have a lot of good things to say about Roberto Mancini.
“There was no relationship with him, not in a negative way nor in a positive one. I am not sure he wanted me in the squad. I don’t know what he thought when I left. Anyway I am happy that I did leave because I am not sure how it would have ended there.”
Kovacic then hails his new club while taking a jab at Mancini;
“When I left Inter he told me that he was sorry I was leaving, but honestly when I was in the squad I never detected it. I have arrived at Real from Inter where we did not play for anything to a club that aims to win everything and has a super mentality. We aim for all trophies, it is never enough.”
Lastly a response about his role on the pitch, where he makes it clear he did not appreciate how he was used at Appiano.
“I prefer playing as a central midfielder, I think it was wrong to change my natural position. In other words the role of Kroos or Modric at Real or Iniesta at Barcelona.”

by reading this article I can confirm we are lacking of loyal players, where is Zanetti, Cambiaso- nowdays we have so many new players but how many of them will be proud by being in our team? Even Rano is trying to find a way out….
Damn lol that all had got to be building up for a while now lol still love ya buddy shouldnt be any hard feelings though playing for us still got you to real madrid. Your just not fit for italy. Players that cant operate without space cant suceed in seria A. And thats you buddy.
I never understand fans. I remember how Moratti was getting rid of many players, Lucio for example was forst to leave and he went to Juventus and people started to bash on him for it, c’mon guys they forced him out? Maybe he felt hurt by the way he got treated.
Kovacic, would have become a superstar but our coaches is/was retarded and when he finally leaves to a club where he actually gets to play in a good position in a team of superstars compared to shitty Inter where they fkn benched him sometimes because Guarin shoots more birds than him or Brozovic apparently was better?…
I think he deserves to jab at us and Mancini as many times he want. I will still follow his career and watch with joy.

I didn’t expect this from Kovacic but we must admit, Mancini not easy to work with.
agree!
Sportske Novosti is like the shittiest sport magazine on Balkans. It’s a tabloid, full of sensational headlines and they often place total lies just to get attention. I read the original article and I fully doubt that Mateo said that, I saw total bullshit in that magazine too many times. They have 0 credibility.
For example, next to this headline is: “(Alex) Ferguson’s method – a gun to the head”.
And no, I don’t see any mistakes in translation. I can give you link of the source, but I don’t want to because it will increase popularity of this fucking tabloid that should be completely ignored.
you can see how wrong translation divided fans by 2 group..
ARE YOU LOST?
I can believe myself when I read this article. It is clear that he needs more effort to improve, and by gaining the experience in Seri A, it will make him a better player. I used to believe that this guy have the right attitude to improve since he used to be very humble. Seeing how he blame other rather than himself makes me wonder, are you lost kova?
Priest: You may kiss the badge
*suddenly kovacic fanboy swept away in the flood of tears..*
Fucking fucker,
You wasted my time,i thought you will be something great with us,instead you become pussy in midfield,cant even do defence ,pussy coward
calm yourself bro.. 😀
this is the deja vu from ibra kissing barca’s badge :))
Very unprofessional from Sempreinter. This “article” is nothing more than bait for the undiscerning, mindless fanboy army to sink their teeth into.
You have selectively chosen isolated quotes from the full text, and framed them in such a way that presents Kovacic, a former player of the highest character despite his youth and difficult recent experiences, as a common enemy to insult. At no point did Kovacic “slam” Inter as the exaggerated headline suggests, nor did he disrespect the club. What he did do was criticise the METHODS of Mancini. What he also did was offer an argument for his criticism, which is more than I could say for most fanboys commenting on this site. And lamentably, it is also more than I could say for the author of this article and editor/s of this site. And all on the day following that excellent tactical analysis piece. Disappointing.
Why can’t he just have some class and keep his mouth shut? Cambiasso, an Inter LEGEND, was treated like shit his last year, and if anyone had a right to “slam” Inter, it was him. But he didn’t. Hasn’t even mentioned what happened that last year. Why? Because he’s a class act unlike this child. Kova was mentally weak but supported and treated like a prince, at least by the fans. Ok you were sold, keep your mouth shut and move on with your career. Take Shaqiri for example, he was treated way worse and has yet to say one bad thing about Inter. Sorry but I completely disagree with you.
actually, Jamson critisize the author of this article and SempreInter staff
This is the herd mentality I was talking about. Flying into a raged response without stopping to think, or responding to the point I was making.
Back on point, as #4 said, I was criticising the author of this article. I did not advocate, or denounce what Kovacic said. In this instance, my opinion on the matter is irrelevant.
This site has been a reliable source of fact-based, objective Inter news for some time now, but has experienced a notable decline in journalistic quality as it has grown. Inflammatory articles like this are examples of this decline, and are more suited to tabloids like Goal and The Mirror. There are few genuine alternatives available, so I can only hope this decline does not continue, or else risk losing discerning (Inter supporting) readers (a demographic who’d comprise a fair portion of their readership I’d imagine). Lift your standards Sempreinter.
Yeah it’s hard to imagine this kind of article gets published in sempreinter after the tactical analysis
I really had high hopes for a Kondogbia-Kovacic patnership at Inter at center mid for the next 10 years. Perfect blend. Too bad.
couldn’t blame him, every team has different traning method. Inter just can’t maximize his talent plus inter coaches couldn’t find where his best position was
Totally i’m confused with this situation. Is mancini doesn’t know to use the player in his formation, or the player doesn’t suite him. First kova left, and then shaq left, montoya on the bench, and now..he doesn’t like ljajic performance…what is it all about..? why did he take ljalic and montoya in this situation, is ausilio force him to take the players and mancini cant refuse them to join the squad..i don’t get it.
Feel no sympathy for him no more, no matter how I liked him, now he’s acting like a lil bitch, no players are greater than the club.
Now Galliani will try his best to bring back you to Italy 😀
Mancini will sink Inter, or half way he will be sacked.
His tactics of game playing stays in the level of 90’s. he is very irrational about the use of players. It is obvious that if he dislike any player personally that player would get zero chance.
Yes I’m a Kova supporter more than an Inter fan but I don’t feel totally comfortable about hearing Kova lash at Mancini. Yet Kova said it and I dont think kova was wrong.
You support kova more than inter….?
“Yes I’m a Kova supporter more than an Inter fan.” sorry mate.. you should watch madrid not inter.. and you shoud go to their site not here..
mate, Is Madrid an enemy of Inter or what? can’t see why I shouldn’t be an inter fan.
you said you’re more of kova fans than inter your self.. ^^
Yes,i should be like you,supporting bayern,barca,united,psg and then proclaim myself as interisti…
Lolll…
Wtf
You for sure have the freedom to express your opinion of being a fan. But if you are serious it is radiculus to me that a reasonable person in a real world should put the football club he support as the only priority in his or her life. And by excluding an supporter that is not so pure in your dictionary, you are kidnapping inter in my opinion.
Btw, the whole article is about Kova lashing out at Mancini, not inter. There is no conflict between supporting both Kova and Inter. When Mancini stumble in matches this season, I’m sure you will curse him more than anybody else.
sorry to say bro ezeqiel, but he’s a glory hunter. whom seek kova’s majestic era which has yet to come :/
Sorry but you’re no Interista. You’re a Kovacista. That’s why people are saying go support Madrid.
Plastic fans spotted
A Kova supporter more than an Inter fan? Tells me all I need to know…
how’s people can have favorite team more than one? even one in each league, i don’t get it.
“slams” title reminds me of goal.com very desapointing.
who actually cares what this joker has to say. NEXT!
in gazetta and four four two, kovacic only attack mancini, not inter.
we are start to loss trust on sempreinter integrity about its news.
wow , its clear he didn’t slam INTER a single bit, do you even read the whole interview, he actually showed how Mancini playing an actor, he was referring that INTER aim high without taking action in criticising terrible coaches, he was saying training more less with the ball, he was specific, he was happy to leave not trusting this weird Mancini as to what he would do with him being at the helm of everything(feared he would be subbed).
how unbelievably upsetting this article being interpreted by sempreinter team :s
While he did slam mancini. The training he was talking about was the same with all coaches. Hence why he said “the training in italy”
He slammed Mancini, didn’t say anything bad or untrue about the club. We didn’t compete for anything during his stay with us and Real are way above us at the moment. I don’t blame him for Mancio. The trequartista role Mancini he visions is closer to a second attacker like Jojo can be now, than to what Kovacic was best at. He was neither a second attacker, nor a holding half. Kova’s style was closer to Mou’s Sneijder – behind the attackers and supplying with great passes. Mancio never played with such players or understood their importance. He’s good at deploying versatile strikers and relying on wingers while controlling the midfield with destroyers like Melo. I’d be happier with Kovacic if he works harder on reaching his potential in Real than talking to the media.

All the Inter bias aside I still think that we got a better player in Kondogbia. Every defensive aspect Kovacic lacked Kondo already has and it’s not like Kondogbia can’t dribble, in fact his dribbles are more successful due to him not being easy to push off the ball. At the age of 22 he will only get better.
As for Kovacic he can flop or rot on bench I don’t give a shit. He kissed the Madrid badge on his first day and with that kiss all my sympathies for him are gone. Talk about loyalty, and some people here even called him the next Zanetti.
Great one dani
well said mate..
same with me, Dani.
100% agree, you said it all bro.
True man! But don’t understand why he, before a game with his NATIONAL team (not a Real vs Inter game) needs to talk-shit about Inter and a coach he only had for 6 months!?
And, time-out, “HE thinks it was a mistake to change his position on the pitch”?? Who does he think he is!?? Maradona or Zidane maybe?? Now he all of a suddon is a “central midfielder” – but he did play as one under Mazzari – and sucked! He did well as a REGISTA for 5 months under Stramma but only because he was totally unknown in Italy and got space on the pitch.

Who cares what he says he is gone. This is just tabloid people magazine trash.
I see nothing wrong with what he stated. Mancini and Tohir lied to him. Called him unsellable, but with the first good offer they sent him packing. And he is right about Spain. Spain defenders are worse than Italy, and it’s better for a technical player like him.
Let’s not bash the kid for stating the truth.
“Called him unsellable, but with the first good offer they sent him packing” yeah…it happens everywhere..even in moratti’s era. so don’t be surprised if some players feels disappointed about their old clubs
Yeah, I agree. I’m just asking the intersta not to overreact over what he said.
we didn’t win anything because of you and the players with you were not up to the responsibility we thought highly of you but you never did what expected from you, so i’m happy now that you left and we got a winning team not the team that made you its star cause you are not a star yet you are too small for inter.
Well…. i officially hate this stupid fucking faggot!
Okay,enjoy yourself there,i hope the best for you,but of you failed there,we wont back u up
now i don’t want him back anymore.. let him rot in the bench of madrid.. k-dog is better than him..
Kondo is much much better than this pussy coward,
This fucker wasted my time,thinking him will turn to be great and then go and speak shit about us,
And he becomes a douche bag. We’re so much better without you btw. Enjoy the bench
wow, guys, Sempre has completely forged his statement, he actually thanked Inter read the original statement am gonna find it for you
Will look for it also
or the one where he thanked was and old article?
that is big load of crap from Sepre, that is nothing of what he said, he thanked inter, and said he never had the feeling Mancini wanted him there, even he said to him when he was leaving that he is disappointed, Sempre manipulated or just didn’t get the translation right
Even days before you left you were telling us how great playing for Inter was and that you wanted to stay for years.As for your aim to win everything last year Real won as much as Inter.Nothing.I was one of those who worshipped you in here even when you were playing terribly(yes Mateo your performances weren’t perfect in here) but by showing disrespect to your former club you prove you didn’t deserve to wear this shirt.Good luck to your carrer from now on Mateo.
Yeah,i used to wanting him back to inter,now i dont
Wow, couple of months in Real and he is already acting like a little shit. So much from little innocent Mateo.
Think he is a great players now,on par with messi ronaldo,i wont be feel sorry if he failed there,no more
don’t be quick to judge, Sempre have totally forged his statement, it was nothing like that, he thanked inter and said he always be thankful but he felt Mancini didn’t want him there
We need better translators then
i will find the original one i read it earlier, Sempre are disgrace
found it yet? I believe the article where he thanked inter was an old article where he joins madrid in the late transfer session.
this is Gazzetta translation, he said he was happy to leave due to his relationship with FUCK face mancini
http://gazzettaworld.gazzetta.it/news/serie-a/inter/kovacic-happy-to-leave/
I read it in football italia,go read it yourself
even on football italia they wrote he thanked inter
http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Inter/06-10-2015/inter-kovacic-con-mancini-non-avevo-rapporti-felice-essere-partito-130406707942.shtml
http://app.football-italia.net/?referrer=www.football-italia.net#article/footballitalia-73987&menu=news-all
Read this,
i did how is that bad???? above Sempre has forged and deleted the part he said it was an honor to play for inter
But still he said he was happy to leave inter. I don’t know how anyone can be happy with the bench
he is playing regularly, as sub he just came in, and now he have new club, and he feel unwelcome in your own home, when you leave it you will feel also happy, i don’t see anything wrong with that
He says it was an honour and then in the same interview he says he’s happy to leave. I don’t know how he felt so honored if leaving made him happy.
happy to leave ??? could you please finish the line as the DOT is waiting for you at the end.
He didn’t know what would happen here? He was a fan favourite. He had a starting spot. If he was a sub it would have been the same situation as in madrid.
he was not a start up not after Kondo have arrived, and he was even a sub in some friendlies
Sub in madrid also. You can’t tell me he didn’t know he would become a sub in madrid…
happy to leave due to his relation with mancini, he only had praise to say about inter, no one is being fair here just for that blind love of mancini
I don’t love mancini… I love inter. Fuck mancini and fuck kovacic. But he’s happy to leave inter because he was uncertain of his position? Work harder. I remember 5 matches of him being benched then he makes a statement that he’s had enough and instantly starts the next match, that tells me he was spoiled enough that he didn’t put effort into training until “he had enough” and to support that he said “training in italy is boring” – all he had to do was work harder like any young player should. people here said he was forced to leave inter and started cursing the management… well kova says it was his choice now.
like someone said in the comment section, he should be a professional and stay quiet on such affairs like cambiasso and shaqiri who were treated a lot worse than kova (kova was not even treated badly)
Wtf with defending inter management becomes mancini fanboy,fuck mancini,
I dont really give a shit about him,
What about you all being kovacisti,shaqiristi,and even ljacicisti?is that not blind love?
That honor is just a lip service,i know this kid is fucker,he even kiss madrid symbol in first day,henever love inter or becomes interisti,so fuck him
haha, i think he is talented and he was shown the door by inter, so he should have hard feeling but he seems ok, Mancini would have fuck his future up, his words about mancini no secret he benched in friendlies, and when we bought Kondo, it was obvious that his position is in danger
I dont give a shit he is talented,he is not part of inter anymore,so fuck him,i am not his fanboy,if he says shit about inter,that is when i give a shit,if he play good or bad i dont care
another one of mankind’s game, sold him out then called him to say i was disappointed, so when he become the footballer we all know he will be, Mancini can have a good rapport to bring him, in i am very happy with his statement just showed the kind of coach mancini is
truth must be said, the article was mistranslated to mislead fan which something semipre do all the time, a here is la gazzitta translation, he was happy to eave due to his relation with Mancini? hmm if you wann keep defending mancini do it, but he maybe brougt what so far seem flops like kondo and Peresic, ad jovetic, and let a real star like you Kova go, enough said
http://gazzettaworld.gazzetta.it/news/serie-a/inter/kovacic-happy-to-leave/
again a total forged statement from Sempre, they are disgrace on journalism .. its ridiculous
The article on football-italia is translated more or less the same as this one tho.
Yeah,iread that too
they took it out of context he started with it was honor to play for inter, plus he never put on transfer request we sold him
One year from now, he’ll say Mancini impregnated him, his ex-teammates abused him, how he single handedly carry Inter to the prestigious 7th spot of 2014/15 season, how Gandalf and Frodo Baggins didn’t get to be his teammates at Inter, how the bible and some Interista at sempreinter prophesized his second coming, etc
Hahahaha
Gandalf,lolll
He even will say morrati want to turn him inti smeagol,lollll
OMG LOOOOL
LOOOL the best comment in YEARS!!!
It still hurts. We had such an amazing player and the club and the coach never appreciated him. I still can’t believe that we didn’t manage to keep one of the best young midfielders. Shame but it’s passed now
You spoke up to late kova, should have said the truth before they sold you
because there was a possibility it would ruin the transfer…and might be he wanted the best for him to play and the best funding for inter
