Mancini brought us a truly versatile player in Perisic. Pure genius that man. Grande Mancini.
Sampdoria - Inter (4 Oct 15) [1-1]

He is a natural winger who can play as a winger equally well. He can also be a winger or maybe even a winger depending on the situation on the field and injuries.

Most Humorous MemberJust waiting for the Melo, Medel, Guarin midfield now.
I hope that Mancini won't use Ranocchia because Eder will surely score another goals. Unless, Italian defender will be supported by Melo, Kondogbia and Medel. I also hope that Ljajic will play at first minute. Perisic didn't show his best and ex-Wolfsburg man should rest. Sampdoria is really danger team at home. They didn't loss and scored 9 goals in 3 matches. The key man is Eder who scored 4 goals in 3 matches at Luigi Ferraris: https://sporticos.com/en-gb/2015-10-04/22789-match-sampdoria-genoa-vs-inter-milan It could be a great match if Jovetic will be healthy. Mauro Icardi should leads Inter and proves that he is a great captain.

10 years of FIFTransfer GuruI still remember this game about 25 years ago. A time when Zenga was Inter's GK, and Mancini was Sampdoria's legendary fantasista. We lost 3-1, with Mancini scoring that final goal killing off the game. Sampdoria went on to win their first Scudetto. Thats the first goal in the collection below:
Tomorrow Zenga will coach Sampdoria, Mancini will coach Inter. Hope the result is also reversed.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFCrikey ! I recall that aswell. Though the home loss near the end of the season was the game that haunted me as a supporter the most. Matthaus had a penalty saved ! And Mancini was sent off along with Bergomi (???). We totally fucked that season up at the closing stages.
I'm pretty sure that was the same game that the ultras ripped the seats off and threw them onto the pitch whilst Matthaus was pleading them to stop so the final few minutes could be played out.
I've always hated Vialli ever since those days, that wonderful piece of shit. Him and Mancini were just simply an unstoppable attacking duo.

Comedic Post of the YearPre-match presser time:
Mancini:
On Sampdoria & Zenga:
"I've been back to Marassi lots of times as an opponent and it's always a special game for me. I had some great times there."
"I'm happy to see Walter Zenga again too. We played together lots of times, both on the same team and on opposite sides. I'm glad he's coaching in Italy again."
"Samp are a good team and they have three or four quality players up front who can win the game for you."
On the Viola game:
“The defeat to Fiorentina was absurd. It started badly and there was nothing more we could do.”
“The squad reacted and until the red card it was one of our best performances. Results condition the way you remember a game.”
“In Italy people only talk about tactics without even knowing things. You don’t win based on a system, as the opponents are there too. The tactical aspect isn’t essential, as other things can make a difference like a refereeing error or a single moment of magic.”
“Did you watch the game back? That is your job." (Directing his words at the journalists)
“I thought the rest was absurd and we didn’t get anything wrong from the start. There was the penalty, then we conceded their first shot on goal and with the red card it was all over.”
“What did that defeat leave Inter? The fact Joao Miranda is now suspended. We’ve got 15 points after six rounds, so I wouldn’t say we’re in bad shape…”
“We were criticized even after five consecutive victories. The job of journalists is to criticize, but I am not worried by what I read in the papers. I have my ideas and I won’t let outside factors affect them."
“Everyone wants to be a Coach in Italy and thinks they know the best thing to do. There ought to be Fantasy Football for reporters.”
On the formation:
"Playing three or four at the back is not a problem – you don't win or lose a game because of that. It's always about the 11 players on the pitch. What makes the difference is a mistake by the coach or a player, or an opposition player scoring an amazing goal. Not the formation."
Is Juan available? (Suck on it)
"Juan Jesus is fine and so is Brozovic. He could play the full 90 minutes."
Montenegro calling Jovetic?
"Nothing has happened and I'm not angry. I think it's standard procedure to call up a player but as he's not able to play I don't think he will. If he were fit, he'd be with us tomorrow. Jovetic is a smart boy. If his national team calls him, he has to go, but there's no problem there. Ideally I'd like him to be able to train calmly over the next fortnight before the Juventus match."
Kondogbia not getting called?
"France are playing friendly matches and it's normal for a coach to try out different ideas and players. Kondogbia has always been a part of the France squad."
Zenga:
“I say this with absolute sincerity and affection. Inter represented 22 years of my life. If I said they were an opponent like any other, I wouldn’t respect myself or my history.”
“Of course, Sampdoria was also part of my history and is my present. I am concentrated on doing well now, although it cannot be a game like any other."
“In the past I also said I’d have loved to be an Inter Coach and I was pleased to be linked with that bench in the past, but when I arrived here I pointed out this was no stepping stone. I know the value of this shirt and what it means to work and sweat for it.”
“Thinking back to the ads we used to film together in this stadium too, I think we’ll burst out laughing. I started playing with Mancini in the Under-21 side."
“He wrote history in Genoa and if it weren’t for Koeman’s free kick in extra time for Barcelona, he’d have won the Champions League with this club too."
“With a little more luck, that generation of Italy players could’ve been the 90s equivalent of Spain today.”
Two days ago, Zenga was interviewed about his team's approach to the game:
“I want to see more intensity and aggression, along with more nastiness.”
“The last stretch of play is always the most important, the ball is harder to retrieve in the middle of the field.”
“On long balls, I want to see everyone running 10 metres out at full speed. I don’t want to see anyone walking forward.”
“If you think you’re fouled, don’t stop. The referee might not blow his whistle in your favour, so we should never stop.”
