Roberto Mancini insists he won't feel pressure as Manchester City boss after managing Inter Milan
Roberto Mancini has insisted that any pressure he is put under as Manchester City boss will never be a problem following his experience at Inter Milan.[LNB]After successive goalless draws, Mancini was being lined up to take a hefty tumble at the hands of former City boss Mark Hughes at Craven Cottage on Sunday.[LNB]Instead it was Hughes left with egg on his face as three first half goals set the Blues on their way to an impressive 4-1 win which leaves them just a single win adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea.[LNB] Pointing the way to victory: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini[LNB]Mancini could be forgiven for breathing a hefty sigh of relief following Carlos Tevez's double, which sandwiched strikes from Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure.[LNB]But the Italian, who celebrates his 46th birthday this Saturday, remains completely detached from all the talk, supremely confident in his ability to fashion a winning team from his expensively-assembled squad and secure in the knowledge that, after Inter, nothing will compare.[LNB]'Journalists continue to say I am under pressure. I am not under pressure,' he said.[LNB]'When you have worked for Inter Milan for four years it is impossible to be under pressure.[LNB]'They are one of the top teams in Italy and one of the biggest clubs in the world.[LNB]'When I went there, they hadn't won anything for 25 years. I was under pressure every day with people demanding to know, "when will Inter win? When, when, when?"[LNB]'But I stayed four years, which is a big record for a manager there.'[LNB] Eye for goal: Carlos Tevez scores for City against Fulham on Sunday[LNB]As Mancini also won three Serie A crowns and created a dominance that continued through the Jose Mourinho era, he feels secure in knowing which way is best for City.[LNB]Hughes did not even get 18 months despite repeated assurances from the club's cash-rich Abu Dhabi owners.[LNB]But, even in an era when City have more spending power than any of their rivals - and are paying more out in wages than their present turnover - Mancini is wary of trying to move too quickly.[LNB]'It is impossible to build a house from the roof down,' he said. 'You must start with the basement. Now, maybe we are on the second floor. We have time but we must continue to improve.'[LNB] Blown away: Mancini crushes Hughes and insists he's the best managerIbrahimovic tells Balotelli: If you want to play with me, then quit Man CityWe must keep this up if we want to win the title, claims City's Kompany[LNB] [LNB] Explore more:People: Carlos Tevez, Roberto Mancini, Mark Hughes Places: Italy
