Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte felt they slackened off for their 1-1 draw with Lecce.
Inter were held to their second consecutive 1-1 draw, this time with Marco Mancosu cancelling out an Alessandro Bastoni opener in Lecce.
“We are a team who have to go at 100km/h. If someone is below par, or off the pace, we cannot afford that and will end up drawing a game we comfortably should've brought home," Conte told Sky Sport Italia.
“If we hold an average pace, we cannot get victories. We had to go at full pelt throughout the first half of the season. Once we don't do that, we become a perfectly normal team.
“We did well at the start of the season to keep the revs up constantly, and I underlined that many times. If we go into cruise speed, we don't have what it takes to bring home the points."
