Mancini wants Inter consistency

Inter manager Roberto Mancini insists "nothing has changed" despite securing the club's best Serie A start for 13 years following their 1-0 win over Chievo.

Mauro Icardi scored the only goal of the game as the Nerrazzuri claimed a hard-fought victory over high flyers Chievo at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi to maintain their 100 per cent start to the new campaign.

Mancini is thrilled with the squad's performance and the contribution of their new players, but insists they will not change their approach as the season progresses.

"It's a nice sensation, but nothing has changed compared to a week ago. This was a very tough match in an arena where it'll be difficult for everyone," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"It was very warm and felt like August, while Chievo are one of the form teams in Serie A at the moment. We found space once and scored.

"The new players are settling in and we are improving as time goes on. We are Inter, so we always have the responsibility to get results. We intended to spend this season near the top of the table and any other comment is premature."
