Roberto Mancini felt Inter’s 1-0 defeat to Sampdoria was “absurd. We deserved to win and were left empty-handed.”
The game was decided by an Eder free kick routine at Marassi, which sent the Blucerchiati into fourth place.
“It certainly hasn’t been a great month for us, but tonight I could not have asked for more from my lads,” Mancini told Sky Sport Italia.
Roberto Mancini felt Inter’s 1-0 defeat to Sampdoria was “absurd. We deserved to win and were left empty-handed.”
The game was decided by an Eder free kick routine at Marassi, which sent the Blucerchiati into fourth place.
“It certainly hasn’t been a great month for us, but tonight I could not have asked for more from my lads,” Mancini told Sky Sport Italia.
“We played well and deserved to win, but were left empty-handed anyway. In the next few games we have to keep playing like we did tonight and hope for better luck.
“There are some difficulties, but if I go back and see the games we lost, I think we deserved to lose very few of them.
“The team must continue like this, there are moments in football when things go wrong. Football is also good fortune and tonight the game was absurd.”
Mancini was asked whether his ‘project’ had failed after Europa League elimination and with very few chances of qualifying for next season.
“I accept all criticism, but I do not think a project can last four months. Inter haven’t done well in recent years and it would naturally take a little longer to get things back on track.
“Despite the defeats and this disappointing spell, I still believe the team has improved a great deal. We must work and not get downhearted by negative moments.”
