Inter beat Real Salt Lake in a friendly, but Roberto Mancini feels they haven’t “loosened up yet”.

The Nerazzurri are in the USA for a pre-season tour, and played the MLS side last night in their first match.

Jordan Allen converted a loose ball from a corner to put the American side in front, but Danilo D’Ambrosio volleyed home Caner Erkin’s cross to equalise.

A late backheeled goal from Stevan Jovetic gave the Beneamata the win, and the Coach was pleased with the result and performance.

“It was a good game,” Mancini told Inter’s official website.

“We worked on switching play and tried out the things we wanted to do. Playing against a team with better match fitness than us helps improve our condition.

“We needed to see how Erkin and [Cristian] Ansaldi settled into the team and get ourselves moving a bit because we're haven't loosened up properly yet.

“D'Ambrosio performed well at centre-back. He's got that versatility and he already showed that last year when he played there against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.

“Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday? It will be a different game to this one because PSG are at a similar stage to us in their pre-season.”
