Inter Milan boss Leonardo refuses to criticise Benitez

Inter Milan coach Leonardo refused to criticise predecessor Rafa Benitez at yesterday's first media conference.

When asked why Benitez had failed to deliver with a side that had won the Treble in May, Leo tried to be diplomatic.

"It can happen that even a winning Coach like Benitez can run into difficulty in certain moments. I arrive at Inter in the most important year of their history," he said.

"The team is already built, so there's nothing for me to invent. The players know what to do, I just have to put them in the right conditions to give their best."
