Felipe Melo denies he's an Inter Milan reserve.
The midfielder is upset by claims from the Brazilian press that he's been struggling.
“Here is the truth," Melo told Meiahora.
“I'm working hard, and the Brazilian Press says I'm a reserve at Inter, but I've played 30 games for the Nerazzurri. Why would I play so much if I was a reserve?
“I'm working hard and I've never hidden the fact that my desire is to return to the national team.
“That's just how the Brazilian Press is today, it's made up of former players who haven't won anything. That's why no-one in Brazil respects them."
