Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni stands by his players after defeat to Udinese.

Stramaccioni was asked afterwards if he needs to strengthen this month.

"I strongly believe in two things, even more so after this match. I believe in my players and in our project. We were missing nine players today, who will soon be back fit. Of course a team can always improve, but one way or another we're unlucky in every game," he said.
