After Roma’s late and somewhat lucky equalizer which meant 1-1 at Stadio Olimpico, Inter’s coach Roberto Mancini spoke to Sky: “Dzeko gave weight to Roma’s attack, up until then we had the game in our hands. The only regret is not scoring the second goal. We are in the race for third place, this is not a random point. We have an advantage in the head-to-head against Roma, anything can still happen. We were missing important players, if we had them we might have won the game. Also, Roma pushed hard in the final 15 minutes and scored a goal in a random situation. Eder? He’s only missing a goal, but he is doing well. Brozovic? He has great qualities, but he is young and can’t yet be so constantly, but I think he can become a champion. The same way Perisic is improving, but today I think everyone played well. Roma had eight straight wins and this wasn’t an easy match, missing almost all of our attackers. So, overall it was a good game with the regret of having conceded a goal in final five minutes.”

On the substitutions:
“Biabiany couldn’t cope any longer and was substituted, Manaj gave us an extra player to hold the ball up front.”

Does the position in the standing reflect the value of the team?
“The three teams that started out with the goal of winning the championship were Juventus, Napoli and Roma, according to all the experts. We are there and try to do our best. I’m convinced that we can do it, in the end we might be able to count this advantage in the head-to-head.”
