What They're Saying
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): Inter are always Inter, so we have to work toward the Champions League and even more. If it goes wrong, we'll build for next year. We'll aim for the Scudetto because [next year] we'll be ready. I see good things that others have not."
Sassuolo president Giorgio Squinzi (via Football Italia): "We need him [Simone Zazaa]. We need him because things are slightly complicated for us."
