Di Francesco noticed Inter Milan had made personnel adjustments, and immediately felt a pang of anxiety.
He quickly regained his focus and carefully observed the changes among the Inter Milan players on the field.
Di Francesco held Mancini in high regard, filled with a sense of awe.
Mancini achieved great success in both Serie A and the Premier League, which was unmatched by someone as inexperienced as him who hadn't won any championships.
Especially in the last round of the league match between Inter Milan and Udinese, Mancini employed a revolutionary tactic with the attacking midfielder dropping deeper and the defensive midfielder pushing forward, which was a stroke of genius that turned the game around!
Di Francesco didn't miss a single minute of the video recording of that match, and he was utterly impressed by Mancini's timely adjustments!
