Dalbert admits he's had a tough first-half of the season at Inter Milan.

The wing-back has made just three League starts for Inter since his €20m transfer from Nice last summer.

“The Italian League is completely different from the others and adapting to it is tough," he told Premium Sport.

“I won't hide the difficulties I've encountered so far. It wasn't easy, but now things are getting better.

“The first games were tough. It's a different type of different football, and only now do I realise how much I've changed with regard to the start.

“I hope to complete my process of adaptation quickly. I must always think positively and understand what the Coach wants from me in order to show my worth and help the team.

“We have a quality team, but we're not satisfied, even if we're working well to achieve our objectives.

“We mustn't stop and keep picking up points, starting from Saturday. A club like ours must always be at the top.

“We want to get into the Champions League. Inter can't mess up."
