Inter Milan legend Luis Suarez says fans need to be patient with their team.

The Nerazzurri had won their first four games of the Serie A season under Luciano Spalletti, but were held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna last night.

“Comparing Inter with Napoli and Juventus is undoubtedly too exaggerated and premature," Suarez told CalcioNews24.

“At the moment Inter are a team under construction, with a lot of good players and a great Coach. They're still step behind Juventus and Napoli though, and it didn't need a setback to establish that.

“The line was there with [Stefano] Pioli, with [Roberto] Mancini and with [Claudio] Ranieri.

“The difficulty is in maintaining consistency throughout the season, and Inter have never shown any maturity in that regard. The foundations are good though."
