Roberto Mancini says Inter are preparing for Napoli and for Gonzalo Higuain: 'There will come a day when he doesn't score…'
The Nerazzurri were defeated harmlessly in the Trofeo San Nicola against Milan and Bari, and Il Mancio sounded relaxed after the game.
“The main thing was to have fun, and to give some playing time to those who played the least while not getting hurt,” he said, as reported by FcInterNews.it. “A derby? Mihajlovic is getting used to winning these games," he joked.
“Tomorrow [i.e. today] we'll begin preparing the game against Napoli, once we're all together at the Pinetina.
“We have many flaws that need to be corrected, even though being first in November makes me happy for the lads.”
Gonzalo Higuain is perhaps the strongest striker in Serie A and Inter's next rival.
“There will come a game in which he doesn't score, and who knows? It may well be against us.
“Monday won't be decisive. Not for us and not for them. Things will be decided further ahead.
“There are four or five teams separated by a very small gap in points, and the standings change every day.
“We'll need a lot of points against the teams trailing us too, because that could make the difference in the end.
“[Napoli Coach Maurizio] Sarri? I'm not surprised he's doing well because he had already done a great job at Empoli. He's a worthy Coach and he has a team that's been playing together for some time.”
