MILAN – Roberto Mancini has stressed the importance of remaining upbeat despite the current difficulties Inter are experiencing, explaining that ups and downs are par for the course during a process of growth.
"You might be depressed until midnight after the game but then it must end there," the Nerazzurri boss began in an interview with Sky Sport 24. "You have to think positive even when things aren't going well. You just need to get on with your job in the right frame of mind."
Mancini went on to comment about how the team and president Thohir have reacted. "The players have absorbed it well, although I do think they can perform better. San Siro is a big stadium and not an easy ground to play at, but we mustn't let that get to us. We need to try and improve in lots of areas.
"I'm not depressed, I'm sad about the game. I've spoken to president Thohir. He remains confident and is always a very positive person.
"We have to play with the same spirit we showed against Samp, not as we did against Parma. Sometimes you get years like this but all things considered I think the players have improved loads. We're alternating decent displays with less decent ones and that's something you have to go through on your way to becoming a great team. I think the fans can understand that and I hope they'll stick close behind us."
