Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti says the players are to blame for their dismal defeat to Bologna.

Zanetti was the only member of the team to speak to the media after their 3-0 humiliation by Bologna.

"It is a moment of difficulty, especially in the last few games, as we are unable to get the results. We are trying to drag ourselves out of this moment," said the defender.

"It does happen and above all right now we need to find calm and the necessary strength to emerge from the hole.

"Someone who has been in football for as long as I have knows these things happen and you do climb out of these situations.

"We are all united, work to give our best and after many years of success this is the most difficult moment we've had in a long time. We all take responsibility, starting from myself, and we will fight to give a response against Marseille and then Napoli.

"We understand the fans are angry and they too must realise we are the first to be upset at this situation. In these moments everyone has to think of what is best for Inter and give a strong response."
