Luciano Spalletti believes Inter deserve plaudits for their fine start to the Serie A season.
Today’s 2-1 win at bottom side Benevento was the Nerazzurri’s sixth in seven League games so far this campaign.
And in spite of not always putting in totally convincing performances, the former Roma Coach believes his players are earning their positive results.
Luciano Spalletti believes Inter deserve plaudits for their fine start to the Serie A season.
Today’s 2-1 win at bottom side Benevento was the Nerazzurri’s sixth in seven League games so far this campaign.
And in spite of not always putting in totally convincing performances, the former Roma Coach believes his players are earning their positive results.
“Our players should be proud because nobody has gifted us anything,” Spalletti said after two goals by Marcelo Brozovic lifted Inter to second in the table. “We deserve it.
“Sometimes people analyse things excessively in one way or another.
“I think we are doing everything with great effort, even though at certain times we don’t maintain that quality.
“I am very happy, very content. Changing the mentality of a team completely isn’t easy.
“We are coming from a period in which many of them improved, but then had moments when they collapsed.
“But it’s clear that we still need to improve, without doubt.”
Despite match-winner Brozovic bagging a brace, Spalletti was keen to stress he will continue to rotate his frontline options.
“We are happy with everybody’s work. We have five players who can rotate for their quality and character.
We have still managed to keep getting results by rotating everyone.”
Inter face rivals Milan following the international break and Spalletti is convinced his side are ready to take on anyone.
“Inter are ready for any game regardless of the opposition. No one gives you anything.
“Today we played a team who want to show their Coach they want to do well.”
