New Salernitana coach Fabio Liverani offered no excuses after their 4-0 defeat at Inter Milan.
Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries and Marko Arnautovic struck the goals.
There is a lack of confidence and that was to be expected. This is one of the situations I wanted to understand, seeing more determination and desire to win duels, but instead we lost every duel, we weren't gritty, we lacked hunger," Liverani told Sky Italia.
What we did and Inter did not even need this gift was to leave them the initiative and we simply followed the events. We need to be a team that takes matters into our own hands and directs events.
A full week of training will give me a better idea of this team. I have not had time to get to know the lads, we only worked for three days, but from now on the players will pick the line-up with their performances in training and their attitude. Anyone who wants to play must prove it to me over the week."
