Inter President Blames Players, Not Manager

Inter President Blames Players, Not Manager
By Nathan L. Redd

Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti had some harsh words for his team's players following their 1-0 loss to Fenerbahce on Wednesday. Moratti told Goal.com "I can't place all the responsibility on the coach when our night was ruined by the actions of several players."

Moratti has had a somewhat-rocky relationship with Inter Manager Roberto Mancini, but this time he attempted to deflect blame from the Inter boss. "People ask questions at times of Mancini's personality and his tactics, but the players were fully equipped to succeed. But they didn't believe in themselves as they need to do; they need to not panic and instead put things right" Moratti told Goal.com.

Inter will be looking to re-establish their championship play this weekend when they visit Serie A rivals Livorno. Fenerbahce travels to Bursa to take on Bursaspor on Sunday.
