APPIANO GENTILE - Luciano Spalletti held his latest press conference as he met journalists on the eve of the trip to face Fiorentina.
"We need to go and play our match, rediscovering all of our quality," he began. "We need to give our best in terms of individual quality and make it serve the team as a collective. The players need to know that I’m absolutely convinced of their quality, I know that they have potential. Things will have to be sorted out individually, as we’ve done so far. We wear an important shirt and we have to be aware of where we are."
"I pick the best eleven, the players who can make a team. The numbers at Inter don’t seem too far off the other teams for me. It’s clear that one goal in six games is not many but there are other positive figures. We’re working on what’s not working and we’ll improve. What’s key is the effort that we want in every match. To show our quality you need to win the ball back, we all need to do it. The forwards included."
"We can’t make excuses. First of all, we absolutely cannot cry about things. Whoever does that won’t reach their objectives. We have a squad that was made for its objectives but it’s clear that everything can be improved. To do that, we’ll need to bring in someone who is stronger than what we have already. Almost every club needs to make moves because of Financial Fair Play."
"Napoli and Juventus are the strongest teams, at the moment we’re playing with the others. We played a good game against Lazio, at some moments we struggled with their play."
"Could we take more chances? I’m alert to possible changes, we work on it during during the week, we look to optimise things with what we have without taking risks. It’s after defeat that you rediscover the family, the strength of the group. I think that we’ve done good things and put in good performances. We know what path we need to take. It’s clear that in football that there’s no warning about what can happen to you. We must improve the quality of play a bit, we have it in us and I can see that. In this regard, we need to do something more. We have the characteristics to be mentally strong."
"Ausilio and Sabatini have the quality to make the most of opportunities quickly. We need to think about improving our attitude on the pitch and working in the right way. This can bring benefits to the team, there’s a need to think about giving something more and realising who we are can resolve a lot of our problems. I don’t think the situation is that bad but we can improve on recent results. The onus to wear this shirt with respect falls upon us."
