WOLFSBURG – Roberto Mancini was left ruing what might have been after a match that had started off so brightly turned into a 3-1 first-leg defeat against Wolfsburg.
Speaking to journalists after the Europa League tie at Volkswagen Arena, the manager said: "It's a shame. We knew it was going to be a tough game here but we keep giving away cheap goals and in doing so we're making life difficult for ourselves.
"We dropped off too deep after taking the lead, then we left Naldo completely unmarked and let him have a free header two yards out from goal.
"Carrizo's mistake? Goalkeepers make mistakes sometimes. I'm sorry for him. Sooner or later we'll start giving less away, but it's tough at the moment."
Despite losing tonight, the coach feels qualification is still within Inter's reach with the return leg at the Meazza still to play.
He went on: "We can score two in 90 minutes but we'll have to make sure we don't concede any. We created a few chances tonight and we'll have to make the most of them in the return leg. We can turn this tie around, it's certainly not over yet."
