Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini was pleased with his midfield after their 3-1 win over Palermo.

Adem Ljajic and Ivan Perisic were both on the scoresheet.

Mancini said of Ljajic: “I really, really like Ljajic and he knows that, but at times he doesn't train with the right attitude. His feet are excellent, but his brain doesn't always work properly. He can sometimes rest on his laurels during a game or train badly all week.

“A player with his quality should make the difference always, the way he did tonight. There are few players out there like him.

“Ivan Perisic is simply getting to know Italian football, which is very different to the Bundesliga. Geoffrey Kondogbia is improving too and both will be the future of Inter."
