Coach Roberto Mancini believes 'nothing is lost' for third place as Inter host Sampdoria.

The Nerazzurri will face the Blucerchiati tomorrow evening at 19:45 GMT as both teams try to fix their negative moment.

Mancini even had the team secluded in a training camp in an effort to get them to concentrate on the upcoming match.

“We took these few days to be chilled and work without thinking of anything else, and they went well,” he told the Press. “Third place can be reached, nothing is lost in spite of the loss in Florence [2-1 to Fiorentina].

“The training camp was not about punishing the team, not in the slightest. Nobody likes it of course, but it's right to change something so the situation can be fixed. Everyone accepted it and worked well.

“There's little difference between a 4-3-3 and a 4-4-2 as our system doesn't change. We did well with the current one but also with others, so we didn't change very much.

“This is football, you enter a negative spiral and you come out of it. Then you may find yourself winning five or six in a row, all of a sudden.

“It's not a physical, technical or tactical issue. Things aren't going well in spite of playing good games and we must accept that, following the situation closely so we can get ourselves back on our feet.

“There's no point in looking for incentives, football is like this.

“We played six games and lost twice, not six times. Unfortunately we had several draws but the points we gathered earlier keep us running for third place.

“There was a difficult moment but you can't change for the sake of changing. This week was all about finding peace of mind.”
