Roberto Mancini has claimed that Inter Milan should not be criticised for their performance in the 1-0 victory over Hellas Verona.
Inter are the only team remaining in Serie A with 100% record after Wednesday's victory, and Mancini believes that his side should not be judged for failing to record emphatic wins in the style of Barcelona every week.
"I do not get this thing of having to play well," the Nerazzurri boss told Sky Sport Italia. "I do not think there is someone that can play like Barcelona, or at least I have not seen any team that can win games four or 5-0.
"It doesn't take much to figure out we are not Barcelona, but we are at the beginning of the season. AC Milan won a championship always winning 1-0.
"I think it takes time for a team like us, as we have added many new players."
Inter will look to extend their winning run when they host Fiorentina on Sunday.
