Inter Milan captain Andrea Ranocchia says they'll be ready for their Europa League qualifier with Stjarnan.
Ranocchia spoke to Inter Channel after two disappointing friendly outings, losing 3-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt and drawing 0-0 with PAOK.
"I think the summer went well. I saw a very positive attitude within the squad, the fans and the staff. It was hard, as we travelled a lot and faced some strong teams, many of them far ahead in pre-season preparations.
"We have improved since the start and now we get into the real season."
That begins on Wednesday night with a trip to Iceland, as Inter play Stjarnan in the first leg of the Europa League preliminary round.
"We need a lot of concentration, because these are the most difficult games. It is a long journey and we cannot underestimate our opponents, as that would be the biggest mistake we could make.
"We must go there and play our game, trying to implement everything we practiced in training. After that we have Torino in the opening Serie A round, but right now our minds need to be exclusively focused on the Europa League."
