NEW JERSEY – Speaking from Montclair State University, Felipe Melo reaffirmed the club's intention to aim high this season.
"Regardless of what happens off the pitch, we're staying calm on it," the Brazilian midfielder began to Italian television channel Mediaset Premium. "We're focused on our jobs here and we have to work. It's good to show faith in those who are working.
"I came here because Inter are one of the biggest clubs in the world and also because of Roberto Mancini, who works hard and is the first to suffer when we don't win. It's the right thing for him to stay with us.
"We finished higher in the league than previous years last season and we got back into Europe. We had a new squad and this year we know each other better, so we can do better. We can't have any regrets, we're working hard and we just need consistency.
"It was my intention to stay here because it's a dream come true. My family and I are happy in Milan and we're all Inter fans.
"Juventus have bought some huge players but we are Inter. Our aim is to win."
