Inter Milan hero Marco Materazzi insists defeat to Sassuolo will only be a blip.
Materazzi insists the Nerazzurri will bounce back.
He said, "Playing every three days is not easy.
"We had already won in Empoli, but there could have been a hint of tiredness, then (Fede) Dimarco's great goal allowed us to get the three points. So it's a setback that can be taken into account.
"We started off great and we'll get back on track because the team is strong.
"The Italian championship in the last four years has had four different winners, so it is absolutely level. And long. Now there is the Champions League which is tough and becomes more and more demanding, they must all be good at maintaining certain levels: one or two weeks where you skid and can be overtaken at every turn, it feels like a Grand Prix.
"It's not easy, but Inter however have the strength and characteristics to fight on all fronts."
