After the response game of the Italian Cup final, which was won with a score of 3-1 against the team, resulting in an overall score of 4-2, Italy's Cup was won for the second consecutive year, Roberto Mancini was delighted to finish a not very successful season with trophies and Javier Zanetti was delighted that he could finally lift the cup.
Inter coach Roberto Mancini won his tenth Italian Cup title during his player and coaching career and expressed joy after his team's victory.
"I am happy for my players, as they have experienced many disappointments in recent months and this title will allow them to celebrate a little. They deserve this excellent result," R.Mancini shared his thoughts.
However, not all Inter fans felt the same way as the team's coach - many of them left the stadium before the awards ceremony and raised a large banner with the inscription "Enjoy this meaningless cup. It won't bring back your glory."
The fans of the Milan club reacted like this while still feeling the pain of the team's withdrawal from the Champions League after losing to Villarreal and the disappointment of the season in the Italian league.
"We withdrew from the Champions League in a terrible way. But I think that Arsenal played even worse against Villarreal, although they reached the final. I don't want to talk about Serie A, it's a different matter," explained the reason for the fans' reactions the Inter coach.
The coach also mentioned that if it weren't for Juventus' manager Luciano Moggi's attempts to influence the referees, maybe Inter and other Italian teams would have achieved more in the last few Italian championships.
R.Mancini also stated that he is not bothered by rumors that Fabio Capello might replace him as head coach in the summer. According to the Inter strategist, he is currently focused only on his work, not on media reports.
Meanwhile, Inter team captain Javier Zanetti was delighted that he could finally lift the cup wearing his team's jersey.
"Last year I couldn't accept the cup because I was away playing for the Argentine national team and Ivan Cordoba did it for me, so this evening is very special to me. We really wanted to win this cup and I think our fans should also celebrate with us," J.Zanetti said.
