Gasperini: The players are behind me

Under-fire Inter boss Gian Piero Gasperini has denied speculation that the players are turning against him.

Inter president Massimo Moratti said the boss had lost control over the team following the 3:1 defeat to Novara, but Gasperini doesn’t agree.

“Moratti has declared that I don’t have the support of the players? The harmony of the group is very good,” Gasperini told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“If the problem is the coach, then it has an easy solution. If instead, as I believe, the problem is another one, then we must resolve it through work.”

Gasperini is adamant he has built a good relationship with the players.

“The relationship with the players is great, more than professional, and there’s no revolt going on. I will say what I think directly to the president and the directors,” Inter boss told club’s official website.

“However, I still believe that this team must live less in the past and more in the present, in the situation that we are in today.”
