Roberto Mancini’s words

Roberto Mancini spoke on the eve of the challenge with Malta: “On Sunday night we have to be the ones seen with England in the second half trying to be more precise in the goal area and less careless on some situations in defense. It always matters to score points. To qualify you need points. Regardless of the opponent.” “We will make several changes because when you play every three days certain evaluations have to be made,” he added. Retegui still on the field? Also for the attack we will evaluate well and see who is better.”

Balotelli’s words meanwhile went around the web: “What should I answer to Mario? I’m glad there are Italian strikers, but I don’t know what he’s referring to…. Maybe he is referring to him? I love him too much, hopefully he can be really fit.”

He closed on the choices in midfield: “Hot evaluations are never too fair because you only look at the result. There are times when some players are not in great condition because of the many games they play, however, then level players have certain standards.”
