Mancini deny rift with Adriano

Video Safari

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini played down Adriano's touchline antics during last night's Super Cup victory over Roma.
Adriano's position in the side remains uncertain, as he was substituted for Hernan Crespo on the hour mark - just before the Argentine scored to get them back into the game.
"When a player leaves the field in an important match, of course he's going to be angry. It's not necessarily aimed at the Coach, though, as he's often upset with himself for not giving his best. He did his duty for an hour and worked for the team," said Mancio.
