Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti is ready to get tough with his newly inherited squad.
Spalletti won't tolerate big egos inside the dressing room.
“Feel my hands. I have the hands of someone who loves to be in the countryside, tend to plants and feed the animals," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I have feelings and will try with all my strength to transfer my working method and my convictions to the team. That's to Inter as a team, not as individuals. Because these players have a lot of quality, but then everyone thinks they've done their bit and that doesn't work as a collective.
“Every player feels like they are owed something, whereas they need to worry about giving something. A lot. Anyone who works with me must feel totally convinced.
“Those who play here must feel they are Inter, not just a player who is at Inter. Otherwise there's no point talking about a sense of belonging.
“The lads mustn't think: 'I am Candreva or Murillo, an Inter player,' but rather 'I am Inter!' You need to always keep in mind the great history of this club.
“I will hammer this concept into them in every instant. If they don't understand what it means to wear the Inter shirt, then we'll get nowhere."
