Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri has said that his players should use their anger from recent defeats to win their Serie A match with Genoa.

The Nerazzurri have not won a game since the turn of the year, but the Italian tactician claims that his side have deserved more from their recent fixtures.

"When you lose undeservedly, it's like anything that you think you deserve but aren't able to get," he told reporters. "We have to try to use the anger to help us overcome the next opponent.

"The draws earlier this season with Sampdoria and Parma were fair because we didn't play the football I like, but there were other games we should have won.

"We've only lost three times, they were three particular games and we know what influenced two of them. Yet even in defeat we held our own. Overall I think we can say it's been a good first half of the season and if we'd had six points more we could have called it excellent."

Inter are currently fifth in the Serie A table.
