 | | Mancini: Ikardi's a brave guy, I didn't dare to look in the penalty kick9.03.2015 |
The coach of Inter, Roberto Mancini was pleased with a 2:2 draw that his team win in the visit to Naples in the 26th round of the Serie A.
Nerazzurri got two goals behind in the score after Marek hit Hamšik in the 51st and Gonzalo Higuain in the 63rd minute, but found the strength to come back. Rodrigo Palacio reduced after a melee in front of the goalie field in the 72nd and three minutes before the end with the Ikardi penalty in Mauro style 'Panenka' shape the final result.
'Ikardi is a brave boy and that's part of its strengths. I didn't even see his stroke because I couldn't look.', explained Mancini after the match.
'We played in Naples against a great team, so we can't expect that we're going to dominate. The problem with us is that we have a tendency to lose easy ball, and we just waited.'
'We're down 0:2 and we couldn't figure out why. Napoli scored two extraordinary goals, and we were distracted. In the match for the cup of Italy allowed Higuain to score in the same way as do Hamsik tonight. We need to work on that.'
'I like the game at all, except that many times gave the ball to their opponents. If you just stand by and defend ourselves, will sooner or later allow a goal, so we decided to go and look for the victory. We tried to find the spaces between the lines of their opponents, had their positions, but it is very difficult to play against Napoli here.', added Mancini.
