Samir Handanovic "happy" with Inter Milan defence

Samir Handanovic hopes that Inter Milan can continue to defend well in order to catch Fiorentina.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has insisted that he is pleased with the team's defence, but feels that they must stop conceding so many goals if they are to push for the top four.

The Nerazzurri beat Fiorentina at the weekend to move five points behind them in the Serie A table, but Handanovic said that the results must continue to improve in order to catch them.

"It doesn't mean anything yet," he told Inter's official website. "Like any win it's a boost for morale but it doesn't mean anything. It has made a bit of a difference, but not a lot for me personally.

"If I'm looking at things from the keeper's point of view, the number of goals conceded is always too high, but I'm happy playing with a back three - I was used to that at Udinese too.

"I enjoy working with Walter Mazzarri. The main thing is that everyone is professional, works hard for the team and does what the coach says."

Inter are fifth in the table, while Viola are fourth.
