Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi says the players are determined to defend their Serie A title.

Sensi says the squad has enjoyed preseason under new coach Simone Inzaghi.

He told Inter TV: "Everything is going well, there is enthusiasm. We are working to prepare ourselves as best we can for a competitive season – teams have strengthened.

“But we have to think about ourselves and work hard to do great things. The goal will be to defend the Scudetto tooth and nail – there is enthusiasm and desire to work hard, it is a good starting point."

Sensi added: “Inzaghi and the staff made me very positive impressions -they are well-trained men who want to work, they are passing on their idea of the game and we are getting a lot out of it."
