Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has challenged Andrea Ranocchia to "embarrass" him.

Ranocchia was dropped to the bench for victory over AC Milan.

“If I was in his place, I'd have felt bad," Mancini admitted.

“But I'd be doing all I could to embarrass the Coach and make him think again. With things like this, the Coach always gets the blame, but it's up to the player to make sure he puts in a performance so the Coach picks him.
