Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti says only hard work will get them out of their current doldrums.

Moratti admits the team are going through a difficult moment.

"I'd say so but I firmly believe that the foundations are in place for us to do better. We do have to pick ourselves up, that's for sure."

Inter remain in 17th place after their fourth League defeat of the season and they currently have the worst defence in Serie A having conceded 13 goals from six games played.

"It's a funny moment. It's worrying when you find yourselves in situations like this because no one likes to look bad. And you hope to figure out how to put it all right. We simply must dig ourselves out of this."
