The Nerazzurri are due to play the first leg of their Last 16 Europa League tie in Germany, with their Coach eager that they improve upon the positive draw gained at the weekend at Napoli.
“I don't think the Inter we saw against Napoli will be enough to do well tomorrow evening,” Mancini has explained in today's Press conference.

The Nerazzurri are due to play the first leg of their Last 16 Europa League tie in Germany, with their Coach eager that they improve upon the positive draw gained at the weekend at Napoli.
“I don't think the Inter we saw against Napoli will be enough to do well tomorrow evening,” Mancini has explained in today's Press conference.
“It's going to take the Inter we saw against Napoli, against Cagliari, and many other Inters.
“We'll have to be careful not to concede too much. We'll have to use our heads a lot, be careful in defence, and attack with different players.
“We must win if the opportunity shows itself, but we have to remember that the game is played over 180 minutes.
“I think the draw handed us one of the toughest possible teams. Showing that we can rise to the challenge will be down to us.
“Wolfsburg bring a variety of threats. The lads know that it will take a great team to make it to the next round, but anything can happen over 180 minutes.”
Mancini was also asked in particular about Juan Jesus, after his performance on Sunday.
“Juan Jesus has to keep his cool. He's got quality. Sometimes mistakes can be made, these things happen.
“But the beauty of football is that after three days you go back to playing and you can redeem your previous performance.
“Assuming that Juan Jesus does play, that is,” specified the Coach.
