Midfielder Zdravko Kuzmanovic believes Inter can win against anyone and that on Sunday against Udinese there will be no contest.
The Serbia international has returned to the forefront of the Nerazzurri since the return of Roberto Mancini on the bench, having started all three of the last games.
In spite of the increased playing time, however, he is not satisfied with the results.
“We miss winning, we miss it enormously,” admitted Kuzmanovic, before expressing confidence that this will turn around on Sunday against Udinese.

In spite of the increased playing time, however, he is not satisfied with the results.
“We miss winning, we miss it enormously,” admitted Kuzmanovic, before expressing confidence that this will turn around on Sunday against Udinese.
“I'm sorry for [Andrea] Stramaccioni and [Dejan] Stankovic, but on Sunday there's going to be no contest.”
Poor results meant that San Siro has been short in attendance for Inter matches this season, but Kuzmanovic believes this too can change and the stadium can fill itself up again.
“I hope so,” said the 27-year-old to the Gazzetta dello Sport. “I get the feelings of the supporters, I understood the booing when things were not going well.
“But in this moment we need their support because when we play in San Siro we must feel at home, and not as though we were playing away.
“Now the atmosphere has improved, no doubt, there is no longer the tension of a few weeks ago.
“In Rome we played well, we created a few chances, but despite the compliments we lost, and this can't make us happy.
“The feeling is that we can fight for the third place.
“In Rome we proved that we can play for the result against anyone, because we went in their own home and scored two goals, levelling the result twice.”
Asked about who can make a difference in the new Inter, Kuzmanovic was specific.
“I'll say two names – [Samir] Handanovic and [Pablo Daniel] Osvaldo. I played with Daniel at Fiorentina, we were both very young, but now he has matured.”
In spite of his rivalry with Stramaccioni and Stankovic, the midfielder had good things to say about both.
“I will always thank [Stramaccioni] for having taken me to Inter in January 2013.
“I'm happy that he's doing well at Udinese, but on Sunday we aren't going to be friends.
“I was surprised by [Stankovic’s] choice to accept a position as assistant Coach.
“I thought he'd hold his ground for a few years before taking on a new direction.
“It's a nice experience for him, I wish him good luck.”
Inter play Udinese at San Siro on Sunday, at 19:45 Italian time.
