Appiano. Located between the Italian cities of Milan and Como, the small town of Gentille is a small and obscure place famous for its Pinettina, the training base of Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan.

The Pinetina base was built in 1962 at the urging of then-coach Herrera and was founded by Moratti's father, Angelo Anderson. Moratti financed the construction. But the base was built only for training, and there were no accommodation facilities at all, only training grounds, gyms and swimming pools.

In 1965, there was a small main building at the Pinettina site, but the structure of the base is not coordinated and the function is not perfect.

The players' rooms at the Pinettina base were cramped and poorly lit, with the only windows the size of a palm located near the rooftop, and the air-conditioning system was a mess, with cold winters and hot summers.

Before Roberto Mancini took over at Inter, the Nerazzurri had a habit of having their players sleep in their rooms at the Pinettina base before home games, just as AC Milan did. Closing the base before the game can not only avoid external interference, but also save a lot of money.

It was Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini who asked to stay in the hotel before the game, as he could not accept the unreasonable or even rudimentary facilities in the rooms at the Pinettina base.

Moratti paid a lot of money to let the team stay in five-star luxury hotels such as Milan Melia before the game, but recently the big owner of Inter Milan has changed his mind, and he can no longer bear to continue to bear this huge expenditure for the team.

It is also a Milan giant, and it is impossible not to compare the players internally. At AC Milan's Milanello base, the players' rooms are decorated according to the standards of a five-star hotel, the restaurant is elegant and warm, and there are billiards rooms, wireless Internet access and other facilities. In almost every respect, Inter Milan's Pinettina base looks backward and outdated.

Mancini's request for the team to stay in a hotel before the game is indeed due to objective reasons, and he will never be so-so. Moratti demanded that the team return to the Pinettina base, with one compromise condition being to renovate the base.

The renovation work began in March this year, and the first phase of the project renovated the six rooms on the top floor, including new doors and windows, lights, furniture, floors, wall painting, and LCD screen televisions, and was not completed until October.

Since July 7, 2004, when he replaced Zaccheroni as Inter Milan manager, Mancini has been the most consistent manager of Inter Milan in the past decade, and it is not easy to work under Moratti for four seasons, even if it is a famous coach like Cooper and Lippi.

At Inter Milan, Mancini completed a seemingly impossible task, leading the sinking Inter Milan to win the Serie A championship, and while winning the league championship, Mancini, the "Coppa Italia professional", also helped Inter Milan win the Coppa Italia in the 05/06 season, as well as the 2006 Italian Super Cup, he coached 227 games, 140 wins, 26 draws and 61 losses.

Under Mancini's management, Inter Milan's best result in the Champions League is only the quarter-finals, which is more than a level worse than the city rivals AC Milan.

This also became one of the triggers for Mancini to leave Inter Milan, and it was precisely because Inter Milan was eliminated by Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season that Mancini said after the game that he would leave Inter Milan, and then evolved into the current situation.

However, in the direct confrontation between Inter Milan and AC Milan, Mancini had the upper hand, and he played a total of eight Milan derbies in the league, with a record of four wins, one draw and three defeats, reversing AC Milan's dominance of Inter Milan in the Milan derby.

But in the Italian derby with Juventus and the direct confrontation with Roma, Mancini did not have the upper hand. Especially in the last two seasons with Fiorentina, except for the first round of last season, in the absence of Degan, the away game against Fiorentina was won, and the remaining three games, Mancini lost all three games.

Just yesterday, the official website of Inter Milan officially announced that it will end the working relationship with the team's head coach Mancini after the end of the season, although Mancini is still on the Pinettina training ground today, but in fact, he has officially stepped down, just a reprieve from death, and he still needs to stick to the position of Inter Milan coach until the end of the season.

Inter Milan's official statement was brief: "Inter Milan FC has confirmed that it will dismiss Robert after the end of the season. Mr. Mancini's position as first team manager. ”

There are two things that can be determined about this statement: First, Mancini has officially stepped down. Second, in the official statement of Inter Milan, it deliberately emphasized one point: Inter Milan made the decision to let Mancini go to class, mainly because Mancini took the initiative to resign after the Champions Cup.

However, this statement leaves two questions: first, whether Inter Milan wants to shift the responsibility of Mancini's dismissal to Mancini personally in order to escape the responsibility for breach of contract, you know, Mancini has four years of contract with Inter, in other words, this statement represents the unilateral termination of the Inter Milan team.

Second, although Mancini announced his resignation decision through a press conference after the match with Liverpool, Inter Milan issued an official statement the next day to confirm that Mancini would stay, and Mancini himself retracted his previous statement. This means that the statement made at the time of Mancini's resignation no longer has legal effect. Obviously, if the liability for breach of contract is shirked on this basis, there are still great doubts.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Inter Milan has reached a termination agreement with Mancini, so such a statement is made as an official explanation for the sacking of the meritorious manager. So far, Mancini has not made a personal statement on this, and previous media reported that after Mancini's departure, the successor to the position will be Portuguese Mourinho.

Roberto Mancini took charge of Inter Milan in the summer of 2004. In his four-year managerial career, he won two league titles, a Coppa Italia and a Supercoppa Italia for Inter Milan.

However, for four consecutive years, Mancini's team has not been able to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, and, this season, Mancini's Inter Milan team has frequently broken out in the dressing room scandal, showing that Mancini has lost his due authority in the team, in addition, the conflict between Mancini and Moratti has intensified and cannot be reconciled, which is the main reason for his dismissal.

The news of Mancini's departure has been hyped for a long time, and the person who will replace Mancini will be Munirio, who was not a secret two years ago.

Although Inter Milan still haven't indicated that next season's manager will be Munirio, the news about Mourinho is on the verge of exploding, and the media has even said which of the Portuguese's descendants to bring in or which player to get rid of.

The camera returns to Mancini, the reasons given by the international for the termination of the contract are actually very far-fetched, and after being eliminated from the Champions League, Moratti also retained Mancini.

However, some media revealed that Mancini had denounced Moratti and stated that he must get five years of liquidated damages. The official reason given by Inter Milan for the termination of the contract is precisely to remind Mancini. Don't forget, you were the one who offered to resign in the first place. Don't fantasize about the €48 million release fee. That's impossible.

Mancini's release fee may end up being within 20 million euros, which is still a huge fee, and although Inter Milan officially denied it, Mancini's face-to-face with Moratti is a foregone conclusion. For Roberto Mancini, taking every opportunity to get liquidated damages is king, just as he did in his desperate attempt to install his cronies in Inter.

In any case, Mancini's dismissal is inevitable, speaking of which, Mancini's dismissal is both unjust, but also reasonable, performance is always the first element to measure the success of a coach, and nothing is to be said without results.

Mancini started with winning the Coppa Italia and ended with two consecutive Serie A titles, and his team was the most outstanding under Moratti, and it stands to reason that Moratti should not have taken him seriously. Considering the background of the lack of fierce competition in Italy: Berlusconi reduced his investment in AC Milan, Juventus suffered a serious injury due to the phone, and such a championship should be discounted.

Then, Mancini's breakthrough point should be in the European arena, but it just so happens that in the European arena, Mancini's performance is lackluster, he has led the team for four years, and the team has stopped in the quarterfinals twice and in the quarterfinals twice, which is not a bragging record in any case.

Especially with AC Milan's experience of reaching the final three times and lifting the Big Ears Cup twice, Moratti's sense of loss doubled.

This season in particular, Moratti has said that the team's goal is to reach the Champions League final to celebrate the club's centenary. Unfortunately, in the end, all he saw was disappointment, which became the headline of Mancini's dismissal.

Mancini was quite famous in Serie A when he was a player, because of his unruly personality, and many coaches had problems, as evidenced by the anger at Sacchi in the national team and his anger at the team. As the years passed, the star player became a young coach, but his character flaws still caused him a lot of trouble. Due to his lack of tactfulness in handling player relationships, the Italian media said that he lacked charisma. In fact, there is also a slight tension between him and the big players, and this tension is not just with the exiled Adriano.

When Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals this season, Vieira deliberately dragged his feet when he came off the pitch, and Figo even refused to come off the bench in the game, which has played this tension to the extreme. It's normal for big-name players to be disobedient, but there are so many that like Inter Milan, they need to introspect, and Mancini is obviously still a little tender.

The tension with the players has almost become synonymous with Mancini, the former Nerazzurri King, but this season Mancini exiled back to Brazil, resulting in the Nerazzurri's forward line was very tight for a while, and Adriano also found the lost shooting boots in his hometown, scoring goals in the league and the Copa Libertadore, many people began to question whether Mancho's decision to exile Ade was correct.

In other words, under Mancini, Adriano may not be able to return to his previous form, although Mancho also strongly denied that he targeted Ade, but it is undeniable that Adriano is a player that Moratti likes very much, and Ade has also admitted that Moratti is like his father. Although Ade's exile was mostly due to his own fault, and the loan return to China was also an official operation of Inter, it was actually the epitome of Mancho's mismanagement of big-name players.

There is also Figo, after transferring from Real Madrid to Inter Milan, Figo has been fighting with coach Mancini in the dark, and this season this battle has developed to the extreme, in the Champions League and Liverpool 1/8 finals, Figo even refused to come off the bench in the game! Then he announced that if Mancini stayed, he would leave!

Sitting on the bench a lot, Figo came up with the idea of going to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold at the end of the season last year, and then played less minutes, which Figo believes could be seen as revenge on the manager's part.

Mancini, on the other hand, said Figo should accept a super substitute role, which made the two go on to fight. Figo and Moratti have a good personal relationship, and it was with Moratti's persuasion that Figo gave up the idea of playing in Saudi Arabia, and now, the Portuguese is already starting to expect the arrival of the madman.

Where there is conflict, of course, Ibrahimovic, the Swedish Scorpion is the absolute main force of the Mancini era and the hero of Inter's league victory. However, Ibrahimovic expressed his support after learning of the dismissal of manager Roberto Mancini, "Anyway, it was a decision made by Moratti, Moratti is the president of the team, he has to make a choice about it, I think he made the right decision. ”

Ibrahimovic and Mancini are also in constant conflict, in the last round of Inter and Cagliari in the 77th minute, Ibrahimovic was replaced in advance, when the Swedish scorpion was very dissatisfied with this, and there were words in his mouth, "Roma Sport" invited lip experts to analyze and learned that Ibrahimovic said at the time: "I hope this guy gets out!" Now he's got his wish.

At the same time, the contradiction between Mancini and the club's management has not existed for a day or two, and in terms of recruitment, general manager Blanca and Mancini have always been unable to think of going together. Blanca bought it, Mancini didn't like it, Mancini wanted it, and Blanca couldn't get it, which made the two feel guilty.

For example, Suazzo was almost stolen by AC Milan during the summer transfer, when Mancini ridiculed Blanca's ability, saying that "the person who runs the transfer market is called Blanca, and there is a chairman called Moratti, you should ask them what happened", but when Suazo really came, Mancini's use of him was too limited, in fact, it didn't matter whether he bought Suazzo or not, the important thing was that this incident revealed the battle between the two of them.

In addition to Jishu manager Blanca, the conflict between team doctor Comby and Mancini has also been exposed by the media from time to time, especially this season Inter Milan's long list of injuries has made the Nerazzurri coach's squad stretched, Mancini previously said in front of reporters, "Now the players' injury recovery is more difficult than before, but this is not their problem." I think it's because we have a lower level of doctors than before", and Conby's reply, "Next season, Inter will either have a new coach or a new team doctor", revealed by Sport, has now proven to be a predicted perfection.

Mancini left, Mourinho took over, and the rumors that the madman went to Inter to replace Mancho have been rumored this season, and Mourinho also denied that he would go to Inter to coach, but with the end of the season, Mourinho's contact with Inter Milan has become more and more frequent, in order to clear the way for the madman to enter the Nerazzurri, Mancini naturally has to give way first.

And many of the big players in the Inter team began to collectively look forward to the arrival of the madman before Mancini officially announced his dismissal, which also invisibly exerted strong pressure on the club. It can be said that Mourinho was not the main reason for Mancini's dismissal, but he also played a role in fueling the fire.

In addition, Liverpool is also one of Mancini's sufferers, and Inter Milan, who are full of dreams of the Big Ears Cup this season, were eliminated by Liverpool in the 1/8 finals, which is a bit unacceptable on the occasion of the centennial celebration. The Champions League is the heaviest trophy of the season, and Mancini also understands what it means to him to lose the Big Ears Cup, after all, Inter's foreign war amateurs have left too many words over the years, so Mancho made the decision to resign voluntarily after the game, and Inter Milan also mentioned this in the official statement of sacking Mancini.

The Roma team is the second of Mancini's sufferers, and Inter Milan had a chance to win the championship early in the league, but they were forced by Roma to be a round of stunning, which made the old Moratti look frightened. Although the Nerazzurri eventually defended their league title, Inter lost the chance to be crowned double at the feet of Roma in the Coppa Italia, which was one of the reasons for Mancho's dismissal.

Having said so much, Zuihou wants to talk about Mancho himself. It is said that character determines fate, Mancho from a professional gambler who held high the banner of attack when he debuted, has experienced an uncompromising fighter, and Mancini always does not handle the relationship with the big players in the team very well, which also leads to civil strife.

As early as 2006, the Italian media gave Mancho a "fragile personality", and Mancini's overall personality characteristics are basically less and more done, but occasionally he seems more ungraceful, and some of his post-match remarks often cause controversy.

Mancini's on-the-spot command is not yet hot enough, and the tactical system is not perfect, and interested media experts bluntly say that compared with Capello, Mancini still lacks some means. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to make some sacrifices, but this is not an easy shackle for the stubborn Mancini.

The so-called "freezing three feet is not a day's cold", four consecutive years without a major breakthrough in the Champions League, and the contradiction with the players is becoming increasingly intensified, coupled with the outbreak of a crisis of confidence with Moratti, Mancini has lost his prestige as a manager in this team, and this contradiction has reached the point of irreconcilability, and the dismissal is inevitable.

But Mancini's pride in his bones made it impossible for him to run away halfway, although now that Inter Milan is up and down, almost everyone wants him to get out of the way as soon as possible, but Mancini is still stubborn to wait until the end of this season.

For Mancini's choice, Moratti didn't say anything, anyway, this season, the team is destined to be empty, the Coppa Italia was eliminated early, and the Champions League made the centennial celebration a joke, the league?

It seems that there is a theoretical possibility for Inter Milan, but this may only be said to be very small.

As usual, Mancini arrived at the Pinetina training ground early in the morning, looking a little gloomy, but no one would interpret his expression as the frustration of his imminent departure, in fact, the guy had been paralyzed all along.

"Hello! Coach Mancini! The doorman greeted Mancini.

Mancini didn't speak, just nodded and walked in.

The doorman pursed his lips disdainfully and muttered, "Keep your arrogance, soon you'll be out of the way!" ”

It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the goalkeeper that Mancini is really a failure, and at Inter Milan, almost no one likes him, except for those cronies who are shoehorned in by him.

On the deserted training ground, Mancini is preparing as always, it is hard to imagine that a young coach can be as rigid as those old guys who are about to go to the ground, Mancini's training, the players can not even deviate from a pace.

One after another, players arrived, some greeted Mancini, and some directly ignored his existence, all at this time, and they were not afraid that Mancini would give them small shoes to wear.

"Look at that guy, I wish he was going to get out of here today!" Ibrahimovic sneered, mockery written all over his face.

Figo didn't speak, but by looking at his expression, he and Ibrahimovic were on the same page.

Some people are hoping that Mancini will leave soon, but there are also people who don't want this day to come, such as Cesar, who is not the goalkeeper, but the guy in the midfield who is almost scolded by the international fans.

When he first came to Inter Milan, he took Mancini's back door, and now that Mancini is leaving, it is estimated that his journey to the giants should come to an end.

What the players are thinking, even if Mancini's emotional intelligence is low, can be guessed, see that everyone is together, Mancini still gathers all the players together as always.

Looking at the players with different looks, Mancini's heart felt a little cold, although in the past four years, the relationship between everyone has not been good, but after all, he has brought several championship trophies to Inter Milan, and now he is getting such treatment, how can it be a little unreasonable.

"I think you all know!" Mancini looked very calm, and in the moment of Zuihou, he chose to be strong, "I'm getting out of here, I think this is what most of you have been looking forward to very much!" ”

There was some commotion in the crowd, and some players whispered.

"But my mission here is not complete, until the end of the season, I am still the manager of Inter Milan, I don't want to ease the relationship with you, the reason why I want to keep going is because I want to confirm one thing, you people still have the dignity of defending champions!"

Mancini paused at this point, regrouped his language and continued: "We haven't completely lost hope yet, of course, I know it's difficult, but as the defending champions of the league we have an obligation and we have to do something to show that our league title last season is real!" ”

The players' eyes were full of doubt, they didn't quite understand what Mancini meant, the league was played to this point, 16 points behind, only a madman would think that Inter Milan had a chance to fight back.

"The result doesn't matter to us anymore!" Mancini said to himself, "I have been proven to be a loser, but you still have a chance, tomorrow's game, in Meazza, the holy land of Inter Milan, we are going to face Fiorentina, this is your chance to prove yourself, if you beat them, it will prove that you people are different from me, you still have value at Inter, but if you lose, it proves that it is not only me who has failed." ”

When the players heard this, their eyes immediately changed.

After the draw with Cagliari, they have in fact treated the rest of the game as an errand and no one wants to waste experience on meaningless games, some of them have already figured out where to go on holiday and even think about how to start again when the new manager arrives.

But Mancini's words sobered them up, Mancini was right, the head coach has a poor record, he can change places, and with Mancini's achievements at Inter Milan, he is not worried about finding a new job, but what about them?

Most of them are still here next season, and now, just to give themselves a good chance to chip in the future.

It seems that they really shouldn't have given up so early, at least not thinking about how to cope with the errand!

Mancini sensed the change in his players and continued: "This season is doomed for Inter Milan, no league titles, no cup titles, Inter Milan's centenary celebrations have been messed up, but at least we still have a chance to prove our mettle, and now, with your performance, you are at least qualified to stay at Inter Milan than I am!" ”

After Mancini finished speaking, he stepped aside after a few words of advice to assistant coach Mihajlovic, who greeted and began training with the whole team.

These days, because the team's position has been shaken, there are also people in the Inter Milan team, but after listening to Mancini's confession, they still decided to get serious, as Mancini said, at least let people see the dignity of their defending champions.
