Chiwo felt very frustrated.
He was extremely frustrated!
Mancini's talk made him feel that, in the eyes of this famous Italian coach, Tang Long was nothing more than a pawn to control the locker room.
Perhaps in Mancini's view, whether it was Gualin he relied on, Icardi he focused on cultivating, or Tang Long who was promoted directly from the youth team.
They were all just parts of his strategic positioning and planning at Inter, this Serie A giant club.
For Mancini, Inter was merely a stepping stone back to Serie A from the Premier League, and an important step in revitalizing his reputation in Italian football.
His ultimate goal was, like Lippi, to coach the national team of his home country and reach the pinnacle of his coaching career.
But for Chiwo, the words Inter Milan was his entire life!
He served at Inter for seven full years, dedicating the peak of his career to this team, accompanying the team from its heights all the way down to its lows.
