Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Roberto Mancini:

"Stoke I think is one of the worst pitches in the Premier League because it is very difficult, it's very difficult to play there because they are a strong team and for us it is very difficult. But not only for us, but for all teams. But it is important that we try to play football like we do."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Roberto Mancini:

"After international break, every game is difficult. We had six, seven players here, we worked for one week with those players. Today is the first session with all players but you know it is very difficult every game after international break."
