After the 1-1 draw against Juventus, Roberto Mancini spoke to Sky about the match:
” This was a difficult game. We regret not taking the chances we had to win it. In the second half we did better. A match lasts 90 minutes. We conceded in the first half so it was essential that we scored. We had the chances, and we are unhappy about wasting them. At the beginning our strikers did no have any support. We lacked depth and they immediately won the ball.”
Was there a fight between Icardi and Osvaldo in the locker room as well?
“I will not talk about this”
What changed when Podolski replaced Kuzmanovic?
“We started to control the game, especially on the wings. Even before the substitution we were improving and we put them in trouble.”
Did Hernanes’s second half send a signal?
“He is a good player with great quality. He was not at 100% and had a different role in which I think he did well in. When he is better he will be a very important player.”
Are you satisfied with the mentality the team showed?
“Yes, like I also said on Sunday and when we played against Roma. Things do not change immediately, they take time. We have to keep working and avoid making mistakes. I also think that Inter must take their chances. A great team scores goals.
Was Podolski’s impact positive? Now will Inter push harder for Shaqiri?
“I do not know if we can. It it clear that we are trying to do things quickly. Having said that Podolski was not in great condition. He [Podolski] was also sick, but he will give us a lot. Without good players you cannot win championships or cups.”
Did you slip the paper on the pitch because you had no options?
“This had to do with the tactical situation. We made some position changes.”
