"We have received a lesson which will help us approach the last 10 matches.
"Inter were devastating and we didn't play with the same care as we did against Napoli. We need to rediscover our energy."
Despite today's setback, the experienced Coach believes his team can turn things around as they fight for a Europa League place.
"We are capable of going again and getting the best out of ourselves.
"The stakes for us have become very high, we are facing the big teams as equals and we will compete until the end."
