Inter Milan midfielder Esteban Cambiasso is confident they can handle a disruptive preseason due to early Europa League qualifiers.
There are fears starting the campaign so early will damage Inter's form in Serie A.
But Cambiasso said: "Let's not get too dramatic, as last year Udinese finished third after playing in the Champions League preliminary round. If we see problems that aren't really there, then we could risk convincing ourselves the issues exist."
