Andrea Stramaccioni was happy for Inter Milan to snap their losing run with yesterday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.

The Nerazzurri had lost seven of the previous nine rounds, so were pleased enough with a point at Marassi.

"The team is growing in terms of ball control. The lads played with character against a Genoa side in good shape," insisted the Coach.

"Over the last few games we have improved in terms of performance. In the second half Antonio Cassano's return from injury was useful, as it made us more unpredictable."
