Why is the Czech veteran coach Zeman so furious?
Zeman has always been straightforward, saying what he means without any disguise.
But this time, he was played very badly by Mancini~
As it turned out, early after Inter was held to a draw by Florence in the last round.
Amidst calls from former stars and major media outlets for Icardi's return, Mancini righteously replied:
"Podolski played well as a lone striker, and he will continue to start in the next round!"
The implication was that Icardi would continue to be sidelined.
The next round's opponent Zeman believed it too!
He thought Icardi would be like Gualin before and would be sidelined for at least three matches for unspeakable "technical reasons".
After all, the scandal of the Argentine forward and Mancini pulling each other on the training ground was well known across the Italian football world.
