AAA wanted true Inter. May he raise his head and, above all, give answers for the future. Because after the latest disappointing results they are all under scrutiny, Mancini aside. In fact, the coach enjoys total trust from the owners, which is why his post-Parma outburst ("we'll make a revolution") made many players raise their antennas.
In these last 9 matches, starting with tonight's match against Verona (20.45 pm), the Nerazzurri will not only be playing for a Europa League placement (moreover very difficult to achieve) but their future in the club. “It's normal to get angry when the results don't arrive, that's why, while staying within certain limits, I was tougher than usual – explained Mancini in the press conference. – Thohir did it too, although he is always positive with me and the team. However we will not change 25 players, when I spoke of revolution I did it in general. And in any case I will stay here, I share the project and the ambitions of the company".
In short, a partial retreat, but only for the media. Who went wild this week hypothesizing names for the future: Yayà Tourè, Dybala and Pedro the most striking, but also Cech, Filipe Luis and many others still... It's unlikely that Inter can really afford such a transfer campaign without illustrious transfers, here's because, from now on, everyone will experience a sort of casting under the expert eyes of Mancio.
Over all Kovacic, untouchable until some time ago and now demoted after many (too many?) unconvincing tests. “We place enormous trust in him, the qualities are there but now the time has come to bring them out – the ultimatum from the coach from Jesi. – We know what it's worth, he has the time and the way to prove it ”.
It may be a coincidence but Inter's last victory dates back to the Croatian's last good game: it was last February 22 (1-2 in Cagliari) and the team seemed to be able to end the season on a high note. In 47 days, however, everything collapsed and now there is a real risk of sinking further.
"If we did well, from here to the end, we could even save something" continued Mancini, in an attempt to instill stimuli for the final rush to a group that appeared sad and empty. It starts from Mandorlini's Bentegodi and Hellas, a relatively calm opponent (at +11 on the relegation zone) and therefore indecipherable, although boosted by Toni in stellar form.
Inter will face him with the usual 4-3-1-2 in which the starting duo Palacio-Icardi will meet again (the latter returning after the suspension), the trio Guarin-Medel-Brozovic in midfield (all warned and at risk of the derby next week) and a defensive line with Santon, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus and D'Ambrosio (it is also possible to insert Vidic with the Brazilian climbing on the wing). "It's an honor for me to lead a club like Inter, I'll do everything to bring it back to the top" Thohir said on an Indonesian radio. It remains only to understand which of these players will be part of the project.
