Inter Milan coach Spalletti: Now the team coming together

Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti feels his team is now coming together after victories over Tottenham and Sampdoria.

Inter now face a third major test against Fiorentina.

"We know we've dropped some points," Spalletti admitted in his pre-Fiorentina Press conference, which started late as he was at the funeral of former Roma masseur Giorgio Rossi.

“Then we won two games in which we've made big strides in terms of consistency and character, in going to get the result.

“But we can't be content. We still need to put the table in order, so we need to push strongly toward our objectives because we're in good shape and we need to bring home more points.

“It won't be easy because Fiorentina have a good Coach [Stefano Pioli], I know him well and I like him as a person too.

“He coaches a modern team and is good. They've found unity within that environment. If you were to ask me what I'd take from Fiorentina I'd say Florence.

“They can be polemical there too, but now they've found this affection toward the team and when Fiorentina bring that support onto the pitch with them they become better than they are in reality.

“They have [Federico] Chiesa who can tear up the tactical plans because he's really good in one-on-ones. We have a strong team too though, and we have the most important countermove, that is to be able to fill the stadium.

“A stadium which has been right behind their players for the past year."
