Hernanes admits Inter Milan's Euro chances were hit by their draw with Livorno.
The midfielder says the Nerazzurri are determined to qualify for the Europa League.
"If we don't move up the table and the sides behind us do, obviously the 'European zone' begins to stretch out a bit.
"I've got high hopes for the end of the season, the team has misplaced a few passes but we're a good side with top players. I believe we'll have a strong end to the campaign.
"This hurts because we were aiming high, we could have ended this run of games with a good league position. And yet we stay where we are but, as I've said, I don't want to resort to moaning and talking about regrets.
"Let's keep our chin up and prepare well for the Bologna game. I've got a lot of faith and high expectations for a great finish to the league. We're not far off, we play good football, have top players, we're really not far off."
