Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo feels their critics simply resent their revival this season.

Melo is happy to wind-up pundits in the media.

“People criticise Inter because we irritate them up there. I'm sorry for them, but I really don't care. Many would love to be in our place.

“At the start of the season nobody expected to see Inter this high up the table, but here we are. We want to work so we can improve even more."
