No of course not. What I mean is he still has it in him.
Obviously he can't do what he used to, but the knowledge and experience are there.

MANCINI: "ALREADY OVER LISBON DEFEAT"
Part one of Roberto Mancini's pre-Inter v Sampdoria news conference:
Mancini, have you got over Tuesday's defeat at Sporting Lisbon?
"We are over the Lisbon defeat. We didn't play a great game and we should not have lost. We didn't do much to win and we were probably feeling the tiredness of the game in Florence. Sporting didn't do much, and got the goal just before Vieira's sending-off. But it's a match lost and we have five more in the Champions League so we can still recover. Now we just have to concentrate on tomorrow evening's match against Sampdoria."
Has the Lisbon defeat made you think about reviewing your tactics?
"No, because I don't think it's very important to talk about a diamond formation in midfield or a three- or four-man defence. What counts is the spirit with which you face certain matches. Sometimes you don't play a great match and don't put yourself in a position to win. This happened to Inter in Lisbon, but we should have been a bit more careful and tried not to lose. But sometimes this happens, and we weren't one hundred percent. This goes for all the other (Italian) teams. Sporting are perhaps a bit further ahead than us because they started their championship earlier and because of the characteristics of their players, who are all small, rapid and fast. We played with a diamond formation because we had done well with it in two matches. But absolutely nothing changes."
Do you intend to change formation against Sampdoria and play with a 4-4-2?
"We always play with a 4-4-2, the men are always the same. Most of the time we play with a four-man midfield line, but we have also used a diamond formation a few times to give players like Figo the chance to be more incisive with his plays because he is a player who can be more useful in certain games."
Were the players perhaps convinced they had already won when they came on to the pitch in Lisbon?
"No, I don't think so. You should always be convinced you can win going on to the pitch. This is the right mentality and it should always be like this. But sometimes you don't play well, and we didn't in Lisbon."

MANCINI: "ADRIANO NOT TO BLAME"
Part two of Roberto Mancini's pre-Inter v Sampdoria news conference:
What more can you do to get Adriano back to being the striker we all know?
"I do for Adriano what I do for the others. I try to be close to him and do everything I can help him do well. But I do the same thing for each one of my players. It is not good if we keep on talking about just one player. Adriano did what he had to do the other evening and neither him, Figo or Ibrahimovic are to blame if we lost in Lisbon. The whole team didn't play a great match. In fact, Adriano had a scoring chance and the goalkeeper did very well. It's wrong to keep on talking about just one player."
For a while now Adriano hasn't managed to perform like he has in past years. Does this worry you?
"I am convinced he has the qualities to do well. Unfortunately you sometimes don't manage to do well. We can't always blame Adriano every time things aren't going well. This is totally wrong. I hope he returns to being what he was before. We all hope so and we are all close to him."
So is Adriano no longer a first-choice player in Inter's attack at the moment?
"I absolutely did not say this."
So is he on the same level as Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Cruz and all the other Nerazzurri strikers?
"That's right."
Why does Adriano move away from the goal and go wide in search of the ball. Do you ask him to do this?
"All these tales are lies and are completely untrue. Adriano is a striker, and every centre-forward in the world goes looking for the ball everywhere unless he's a classic striker who waits in the penalty area. It's hard to get the ball if you don't have certain characteristics and stop and wait. Adriano
In your post-match comments after Sporting v Inter you said that Ibrahimovic and Crespo are more compatible in attack at the moment. Could you explain this remark so we don't misinterpret it?
"I just meant that Crespo is in better form at the moment. Looking at the general state of fitness and considering that Hernan is a classic penalty-area striker who knows how to move in certain situations, Ibra and Crespo is the best pairing until Adriano, Crespo and Ibrahimovic get to know one another better. Also because Ibra and Adri have played two games together and have to get to know each other, and the same goes if I play Adri and Crespo because they don't know each other very well. What counts is the type of player and his fitness. But Ibra and Adri will do well when they're in top condition and know each other a bit more."
Since Adriano is not in top physical condition, is it better for him to play to gain confidence, or be put to one side for now?
"If I decide to field him, Adriano can play. But it's the same for all the others. There are many matches, one every three days, so we also have to change. Also, we have faith in all our players, there's certainly no lack of this." doesn't have the characteristics of a penalty-area striker so he has to go looking for the ball.

MANCINI: "TOUGH MATCH AGAINST SAMP"
Part three of Roberto Mancini's pre-Inter v Sampdoria news conference:
Are you worried about the fact that Inter have conceded six goals in their first three matches?
"The defence didn't do badly at all in Lisbon. We only conceded one shot on goal. It would be very good if we always conceded only one shot on goal."
What are you expecting from the team in the game against Sampdoria?
"I expecting the team to do what it did in Florence. The championship is a different competition from the Champions League so it's useless to keep thinking about Tuesday's defeat. We made good starts to the Champions League in the other years and then we went out in the quarter-finals. Let's hope that this time we get to the end after finding it a bit harder at the start. But the game against Sampdoria will be very difficult because they are a tough team to face. We're in for a tough match."
Do you really think that Sampdoria, who haven't won in the championship for a while, can cause problems for Inter tomorrow night?
"Yes. Sampdoria are well organised on the pitch. To win tomorrow evening we have to be very careful and play very well. They might not have won in the championship for a few matches, but I don't think they will come on the pitch not knowing what to do. This has never happened. Every match we have played against them has been very difficult."
What do your choices in attack against Sampdoria depend on?
"On the condition of Adriano and Ibrahimovic today. Compared to last week, we have had an extra day."
Will you also take into account next Wednesday's match against Roma when you make your team selection for tomorrow?
"No. Right now we are concentrating on winning the match against Sampdoria. From Sunday we will start thinking about Roma."
Maicon and Grosso have similar characteristics. They both have an inclination to defending and, perhaps even more so, to attacking. With the team still to find its best lineup, could it be too soon to play them together?
"I don't think Grosso is in top athletic condition at the moment, but this is due to the World Cup because those who played in it have found it harder than the others. Also, he has changed team. He has joined a big club and it's not easy to settle in in a month. He has the qualities to do well. He is definitely better at attacking, but he is also very good at defending. Maicon didn't play at the World Cup. He has great physical qualities, perhaps he can still improve his defending. But they can easily play together. Tomorrow also? Yes."

MANCINI: "TO REALLY WIN..."
Part four of Roberto Mancini's pre-Inter v Sampdoria news conference:
Massimo Moratti has expressed his disappointment over the defeat against Sporting. Have you spoken to him?
"Yes. He expressed his opinion, which is the same as what I said earlier. We didn't play well, so I think the owner of the club is entitled to his own opinion."
There are many matches to play, and maybe there is more psychological pressure on Inter compared to last season. What do you think?
"There is always lots of pressure on Inter. I believe that after any half slip-up or defeat there will be a lot more criticism because this is the game they play with us, even though I honestly don't see why."
Inter are seen as the symbol of Italian football in Europe and the team to beat in Italy...
"These are things they say to try and put a lot more pressure on Inter so that they can be drastic in everything when things aren't going well. Many people are good at doing this. I don't think that Inter is seen as the symbol of Italian football. On the outside Italian football is symbolised by every team from our country playing in European competitions. Perhaps we are seen as a clean team and this could be after everything that has happened in the past months. But Inter have the same chances of winning in Europe as Milan and Roma. I don't think it's as easy as many would have us believe. To really win you have to be very careful and focused in every match."
Don't you think Inter need an extra midfielder? Should you have bought a player after Pizarro's transfer to Roma?
"We didn't want to let Pizarro go. But he made this decision and I think his decisions should be respected because he's a nice lad, a great player, and he thought he would play more in Rome than Milan. And besides, we have brought in Gonzalez and we can move Stankovic to the middle. We will do this until December and see whether we need to intervene in January if we realise we are having problems."

This is pathetic! Every f*cking game, every f*cking season the refs are against Inter! Not only was the pentaly unjustified, but it should of got Cordoba sent off it was a real foul! We're killing Sampdoria the whole game, and this happens.
This is why people don't like the Italian league, it's always f*cked up. I watched 3 EPL games this morning and, albeit their was some poor ref decisions, there was nothing like what I see every game in the Italian league. You don't have to pay off the ref's in Serie A, they pick sides before every game.
In all honesty, I'm about to give up on the Serie A extremely soon if this sh*t keeps up. As much as I hate to say it, Serie A is turning into one of the worse leagues.

You got that right. I have no idea what Bonnani was doing/thinking. He had a bad moment because right after that he got a yellow up the field. Inter deserved that though, the way they played today, they should of won. They had one goal rightfully taken away (Adriano's), Viera's should of counted. It should of been 2-0 taking away the ref's blatant screwups.
Cordoba took out Flachi at the half line, no foul called, that was worse than the god damn penalty he called!
