great article and a fascinating insight into mancinis mindset. apologies if already posted. enjoy.
The text messages tend to drop at 11pm and only when they receive them will Roberto Mancini's players know what the landscape of the following day looks like. They reveal whether training sessions at Manchester City will start at 10.30am, as late as 4.30pm outside of the winter months, or some time in between: there is no set routine. The short notice appears to be Mancini's way of preventing his players from drifting off into a fog of complacency, or in Mario Balotelli's case drifting off down Deansgate, insulated by the thought that training remains the best part of 16 hours off.
What is so "fascinating" about that "mind" and even "game"? To take all shit from his players on training sessions (now I am not surprised why they fight each other there), to make them so nervous and tired, so lets hope that they will give all of himselfs like for example Mourinho's players on the games, and lets hope that all of them don't hates theirs coach, because of his "mind" and "games" with theirs life's and careers?
