Mancini not feeling Serie A pressure

Mancini not feeling Serie A pressure Inter head into their Serie A meeting with Genoa on Wednesday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris with the chance to take another step towards Champions League qualification, but Roberto Mancini is not feeling any pressure to secure it this season.
Inter gained ground on third place at the weekend, with their brilliant 2-0 victory over Napoli preceding Roma’s 3-3 draw away at Atalanta.
Mauro Icardi and Marcelo Brozovic scored the goals as Mancini’s side produced an excellent display against the Scudetto chasers, closing the gap to Roma to just four points.
The victory provides a timely confidence boost for Inter, with just five matches left for them to catch Luciano Spalletti’s team in third place.
Although the Inter boss hopes they can do just that and have something to show for their efforts this season, he feels missing out on a Champions League spot would not amount to a failure.
Instead, he is happy to look at the campaign as a stepping stone towards challenging for major honours again within the next three years.
“Beating Napoli obviously gives us a massive boost and on Wednesday we’ll see if we’re able to build on the good work we did on Saturday as we visit a tough ground at Genoa,” Mancini said.
