Inter Milan No2 Sylvinho has defended their style of play.

Sylvinho accepts they're winning ugly this season.

“We know Inter aren't playing very well and Roberto (Mancini) was the first to say we want to do better, but meanwhile we are winning," he told Tuttosport.

“Mancini is a winner. He knows that he is strong and therefore is not jealous of people around him or his opponents. I've worked with four or five managers and I can say you notice this straight away.

“He knows what he wants and will tell you to tour face what he thinks. He is intelligent and good at dealing with the group."
