Roberto Mancini

[Stefan]

Moratti will talk with mancio tomorrow. From his comments he doesn't seem convinced mancini wants to stay.

[Forza ragazzi]

Moratti is probably as confused as we and all experts in Italy are. In all honesty I don't believe he expected this. But it's now or never for Mourinho, so I hope it ends with him arriving.

Will be a torturing wait for the result of the meeting tomorrow. But I'd like to pay compliments to Mancini for the work he has done regardless of what happens.

Most importantly; forza Inter!

"Last night Roberto Mancini only made one good decision. Unfortunately it came after the game when he announced that he would be stepping down as coach at the end of the season.

This may be a harsh assessment considering Inter's domestic dominance, but if ever the tactical deficiencies of Mancio needed highlighting it was during these two games against Liverpool. In the first leg at Anfield, he had a team brimming with confidence, playing against a side whose morale was at rock-bottom having just been humiliated in the FA Cup by Barnsley.

Instead Mancini handed the Merseysiders the initiative by setting his side up defensively. Even before Marco Materazzi’s sending off it was clear that Inter were playing over-cautiously, when they should have been taking the game to their vulnerable opponents. Mancio’s in-game decisions were also very poor. He introduced a completely unfit and out-of-form Patrick Vieira on 55 minutes, while he refused to bring on David Suazo, whose pace would have been very useful on the counter-attack, and would have forced Liverpool to lower their defensive line.

Last night he again made mistakes. It was surely clear before the game that Liverpool were going to come to the San Siro to defend, and try to play on the counter attack. This proved to be true as Rafa Benitez’s men put 10 men behind the ball, allowing Inter a monopoly of possession outside their penalty area.

This type of game was simply made for the guile of Luis Figo, regardless of the fact that he is still not 100 per cent fit. The Inter team just did not have the creativity to open up the Liverpool defence on enough occasions, and the first decision Mancini should have made at half time was to bring on Figo for Dejan Stankovic.

Instead Mancini displayed his tactical limitations by keeping things as they were, Burdisso was sent off, and then things became more difficult. Even then though he had the chance to make a difference, but still he chose to do nothing. Fernando Torres scored on 63 minutes, leaving Inter needing four goals to go through.

Figo was finally summoned from the bench at a point when it was obviously too late, and the veteran reportedly refused to go on, probably in order to make the very valid point that he should have been introduced much earlier.

Mancini eventually made his first substitution of the match on 77 minutes, which really says it all about the coach."


From goal.com


Completely covered,nothing more to say..
"if Inter do not qualify,it'll be proved that Mancio isn't the appropriate coach to make our CL dream come true".I had written it before the match..
Mancio does not have alibies any more..
4 years now we have been eliminated by Milan,Villareal,Valencia and now Liverpool..
He had all the chances to succeed but he never took his responsibilities..
Always excuses like "we were unlucky","we did our best"...

Of course I thank and respect Mancini for what he has done at Inter but I think it's now the time for a CHANGE..

Mourinho would be the ideal guy to clean up our side by totally useless players like Materazzi,Vieira,Cesar..
Mourinho is the ideal guy to persuade world-class midfielder Essien join our team..
Quaresma,Diego,Lampard,Drogba know that they'll join a side coached by MOURINHO not a "Mancini side" and undoubtely it will persuade them more to join Inter..
And what is more..Mourinho is now free and searches for a new challenge.

I'm truly convinced that a new bright Inter era can begin with this tactician..
And let's dedicate our 16th scudetto to Mancio if everything goes well..
Of course he deserves some praise but the CHANGE time has come..
And future is Mourinho..

FORZA INTER...

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Moggi: I already knew[/FONT]

Wednesday 12 March, 2008​

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Disgraced former Juventus director Luciano Moggi insists that he knew Roberto Mancini was keen to leave Inter before last night’s resignation.

Mancini’s announcement last night that he was planning to leave San Siro this summer came as a shock to the football world.

However, Moggi claims that he was aware of the tactician’s unease and that only the timing surprised him.

“I already knew that he would leave Inter,” Moggi maintained on Radio Marte. “But I didn’t think that he would announce it after the Liverpool game.

“Mancini isn’t happy with the group of players and could also have some problems with the President.

“It would have been better to announce his departure in a few weeks because Inter are still in a title race and his words could cause problems.”

However, many still believe that Mancini’s statement was a cry for attention and not a real resignation.

Nerazzurri chief Massimo Moratti is yet to comment in full, but he has revealed that he plans to discuss the issue with his tactician.

“Mancini’s decision surprised me,” he said. “We will meet tomorrow morning to see what happens next.”

There are suggestions that Mancio’s well documented rifts with Patrick Vieira and Luis Figo – who allegedly refused to be brought on as a substitute last night – may be responsible for the Ancona native’s decision, but no clear explanation has emerged yet.[/FONT]

Moratt:

Moratti: "No one deserves this situation"​

Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:53:15

MILAN - Massimo Moratti was interviewed beneath his Milan residence late this afternoon.
Here's what the Inter president had to say:
President, were you expecting this earthquake, with this shock announcement from Mancini?
"No. It was surprising. Of course I wasn't expecting it, and neither were those who are close to him."
What's your explanation for all this? Did you have the feeling something like this would happen?
"No, not at all. There will be reasons for it. I think it's probably something he had in mind since the game in Liverpool because it's strange to come out with something like this all of a sudden. I honestly can't find an explanation for it right now."
Can we exclude the possibility of him being sacked?
"I still have to talk to him about it. We spoke briefly last night, but now we need to see what we really want, so there will be a meeting, probably tomorrow morning or in any case during the day, because it was better for each one of us to clear our heads after the match. We will see what happens after, but I hope things are cleared up."
Are you a bit disappointed?
"No. Things like this can happen. Nothing in football surprises me anymore."
What are you thinking of doing?
"I will meet him and then we will make decisions."
And what if Mancini confirmed his will to leave Inter at the end of the season? Do you have in mind any possible alternatives?
"No. It wouldn't be fair towards him. I already said last night that I'm not thinking of changing. There's a contract. There's faith in him. We need to see if he has faith in himself."
Is it true that there were some disagreements between yourself and Mancini in the changing room after Liverpool-Inter, regarding his decision not to play Luis Figo?
"I have never done anything like this. I didn't do it last night and I never will."
With Roma six points behind and eleven matches of the season remaining, is there the risk of this incident destabilising the environment?
"I don't know. The team, the club, he himself and the fans don't deserve a situation that could destabilise the environment. So let's stay strong and do well."
Are you disappointed by the team's defeatist attitude against Liverpool?
"The team played last night and had two or three clear scoring chances. It was a game that could have ended positively. All that was needed was a goal. We have been condemned by the constant dismissals this year. However, I don't know how the match would have ended if Ibrahimovic had scored from that clear chance, so I can't say anything against the team or against anyone."
Are you even more surprised at Mancini's comments when you look at the two matches against Liverpool, which both finished with your team down to ten men?
"I believe he really wanted to do well in the Champions Cup. Perhaps he made this decision because he was disappointed about this result, but I don't think it's this simple. Giving this interpretation would make the situation worse."
But Mancini said he would have said the same thing even if he had won...
"Maybe. This is the reason why we will meet. It might have been a heroic decision. We will see tomorrow."

Even though I love Mourinho, he failed in Europe with Chelsea with a superstar squad. He won it at Porto yes, but that was before Chelsea.

Yeah and now people will say 2 semi finals is not a failure, but I would like to tell them, not winning a trophy means a failure at Inter

And if you now think that my post doesnt make any sense, read it in a few months time. The kind of demands our fans have can kill any team, its ambition and now as we can see its coach. I dont believe he was sad or depressed, I believe he quit because he wanted to keep everyone happy.

Mancio in 2004



Now he looks like he aged 20 years in 4.

Yes, he made mistakes, he will admit it in time, but nobody's perfect. He deserves respect because he fought against Juve, even spoke publicly against Moggi a few months before Calciopoli, revived Ibra amongst other things.

Yes but you have to look at more than just the final results. Remember Jose went out on penalties which is a lottery and on the other occasion he went out to a goal which never crossed the line.

He got very very close to getting to the final and would have probably won it had he gotten there but things didn't quite go his way.

 

[Azzkikr]

Indeed he has gotten a few more grey hairs

And your completely wrong about Mourinho in the CL with Chelsea. Sure they didnt win, but they played well and reached the semi's. No one expect Inter to win it, but we expect them to up there, given good performances and actually being contenders instead of a joke who automaticly crashing out in the first knockout round with a horible performance each year.

Mancini build a team based on the old italian ideology with a very strong defense in both defense and midfield and having good clinical strikers to make up for the lack offensive capabilities in the other end. But this just doesnt work in europe anymore. The old style simply cant keep up with the higher tempo and pressure all over the pitch. Its works in serie a because most games there are played in a much lower tempo and there is hardly no pressure before you hit the final 3rd of the pitch when you go forward.

We need keep up with Modern football.

i have to completely agree with this post sums it up good, to bad its 1 post like this 1 ok post and 10 shitty ones

Dear Azzkikr,
Of all people, you Mr. Herrera or whatever YOU shoudnt be rooting for Mourinho.

Correct me if I'm wrong and try and avoid the arrogance.
Your whole hate issue with Mancio was with his defensive midfield and strong defense and Stankovic. That is exactly what Mourinho bases his game on. Yeah you wont see Deki that often but Mourinho's team will not be very much different than Mancio's. You will get the same 4-4-2's and 4-3-3's with 2 or 3 safety first midfielders. No attacking midfielders and even if we have one he will be on the wing.


RANTMODEOFF

To all the other people in the world, the fact of the whole matter is that there arent many good coaches who would like to coach Inter just because of the pressure. (eg.Arsene's team can probably fail every year for 10 years in the CL and he is still manager) If we want Mourinho, Benitez, Prandelli,Zenga we have to take note that we wont get any better footballing wise by changing coach, more than tactics we need someone who is a good motivator. Still I dont think Mancio will get credit that he deserves and that is what makes me mad.:frustrat:

 

[josipva]

joe cole + robben, or malouda were pretty much creative add to it that lampard is also a bit more offensive than stankovic

 

[Suneet]

You and I and Mourinho and his controversial dog know, if he did that in the Serie A he would get sacked in 3 weeks time

Malouda played under Mourinho for how many weeks? Joe Cole was injured @ Recoba's frequency, ROBBEN:dielaugh:

They all never played together, never ever.

 

[VLE]

I wonder if our players would have changed their attitude if Mancini did an interview like that of a trap. Some player definately needs it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqp64q7kHmw


Anyway, Mourinho depends on a counter from a fast single dribbler (may it be a winger or a AM). I'm not sure how that would be effective in serie A. One of the best fast-dribbler (kaka) is not as effective in seriea as he is in europe.

 

[josipva]

add to that shaun wright phillips (sp?) and each of them is better and more creative than any our winger, but if mourinho arrives he will probably play similar to mancio in serie A, but the biggest change would be that we wouldn't play absolutely awful away games in CL
+ he is somewhat more capable tactically and probably wouldnt fall for trick of forcing torres to run at materazzi (an example)
i am most grateful to mancini and i think he did some improvement in CL this year comparing to last years yet he had some bad luck, but if some1 can replace mancio, mourinho is ideal

 

[brehme1989]

Why do people want Lampard? He's one of the worst possible players we can get! Heck Vampeta and Lamouchi were better than he is!!!

 

[Azzkikr]

What? :googly:

First of all he played Lampard who was the best midfielder in the world in 04/05 and 05/06 under mourinho, he scored 29 goals total in the EPL alone in these two seasons and made nummerous assists. Plenty of creativity, offensive plays (and ofc deflected goals :dielaugh from him.

Second of all, he swapped alot between playing 451 and 442. But he clearly prefered 451 with 1 or 2 wingers of joe cole, robben or swp. He brought in essien in 05 to compliment makellele in the midfield.

No offense to inters players, but the players named here are all capable of playing at a much higher tempo than any of our midfielders are.

Its not just about playing attacking football, its about creating a midfield that are good enough to play offensive football in a high tempo and at the same time can withstand pressure. Mancini's Inter cant do any of these things, and thats why fail in Europe where the tempo is alot higher.

 

[Suneet]

Thanks for avoiding the arrogance.
We dont have Lampard, he is exactly the kind of player who woudnt suceed in Italy. We have something close to Essien in Cuchu.

Should Mancio be blamed for being the coach of a team where I-pick-france-first Vieira plays(or stays injured for?) We dont have the kind of money Chelsea spent on players. So expecting Mourinho to do better than Mancio is a big big big ask. The only advantage Mourinho has is he can motivate his players a little more.

 

[alvaro]

Latest news from gazzetta.it tell that MM has talked with Mancio and he will stay with CL being the primary objective for next season.

Yes, he made mistakes, he will admit it in time, but nobody's perfect. He deserves respect because he fought against Juve, even spoke publicly against Moggi a few months before Calciopoli, revived Ibra amongst other things.

The problem is that Mancini seems to have steared us to his end station on his journey with Inter. No one here, except Azzkikr, is disrespecting Mancini for the IMMENSE work he has done for Inter. Mancini will forever be one of the greatest managers Inter ever had, but for me, this is the end. We showed improvements vs Liverpool last night and even though we went down to 10 men, we could've won. However, Mancini never reacted when we needed more offensive power. Jimenez came on after 83:55 minutes and Figo never played. Stankovic was poor, and Mancini didn't react. That's the main problem.

In four years we've never managed more than one quarter and then we lost vs Villarreal after a disastorous away match. The odd thing is that we dominated at home vs Villarreal, Valencia and to some extent Liverpool, but still we didn't get through. All of the away matches were terrible, although admittedly the Pool game was an inch from perfect from the circumstances. This has been our problem for four years now and Mancini still hasn't figured out why. I kind of hope he realised that last night and this was his reason.

I have heaps of respect for Mancini and will always have, but I think it's time to call it a day. He has done what he could for Inter, but it didn't work. No hard feelings. But now we have to take the next step and with Mourinho a free agent, we would be stupid not to pounce. You said it yourself, we need a motivator and who else but Mourinho is a great motivator? Mancini is a good motivator, but his motivation skills have failed four consecutive years in CL. Also, I consider Mourinho a better tactician than Mancini, so we'd be hitting to birds with one rock. But if Mourinho isn't your answer to a great motivator, then Mancini surely isn't either. Mourinho is free and great. What more do you want?

Yes you are right,and he is also old!!!!!!!! we need young creative talents
