MANCINI: "WE'VE IMPROVED, NOW FOR THE RESULTS"

Nerazzurri coach a guest on Sky Italia's 'Calciomercato - L'originale' show. "We'll try to be up there in the Scudetto mix next term"

MILAN - Roberto Mancini has reiterated his confidence in Inter's continued growth and his hopes for the coming campaign. The Nerazzurri manager was speaking as a guest on Sky Italia's 'Calciomercato – L'originale" programme this evening.

The boss began by fielding a number of questions about the club's transfer activity over the summer before going on to talk about his current squad.

"Perisic is a player who lots of clubs are interested in but he plays for Wolfsburg and they don't need to sell their best players.

"Do Inter need eight or nine signings? That was a joke – I just said the first number that came into my head.

"Kovacic? He'll develop into a top-class player because he has the ability to do so. Obviously he can still be found wanting in a few areas because he's young. But he's already improved loads just by playing in central midfield. Will he stay at Inter? Yes, at the moment there's nothing to suggest otherwise.

"Shaqiri is a very talented player who needs time to settle in. He didn't play in the last two months of the season because of fitness problems.

"Inter's aims for the future? It's too early to say what will happen. It's not going to be an easy transfer window because there aren't many good players around and the clubs who own them don't want to sell. You have to be clever enough to make the right signings.

"Will we bolster our backline? We've already signed Murillo, a player Inter had been tracking for a while. He's a good player, fast, and he'll definitely improve us.

"The lads we have here already have improved, although sadly when we started playing better we didn't get the results we deserved. We should have beaten Juventus and Genoa and with the three points we'd have been the team with the most points from the run-in.

"I'm pleased with the way the team worked and next year we must look to improve our results. We'll try to be up there in the Scudetto mix even if we were to keep exactly the same squad. We have lots of room for improvement."
