Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti feels criticism of their poor run has been excessive.

Moratti was asked whether he should be harsher on demanding more from the 10 remaining players from the historic Treble campaign.

"They know full well that they want to prove with pride who they are. They are greatly loved by the Inter fans, then of course everyone has moments of better or worse form.

"As for those who want to find the problem, this leads to treating some players worse than they deserve to be. I imagine they have the hunger, pride and the talent to do better.

"I don't know why there is so much criticism, but in the history of Italian football, which we all know, Inter were never the most loved club... We were never the media darlings, so it's possible a downturn in form draws more criticism than others, but it won't cause a problem for us.

"Do I get angry about this? No, you get angry when you read it, but then it immediately washes over you."
