You must have respect and the right behaviour in the dressing room. The coach must be credible and recognised as someone who will do the right thing.Sergej Milinkovic-Savics 12th-minute header was enough to condemn Inter to a second defeat in four league games.But Spalletti refused to blame the poor result on Icardis absence. He added: How many defeats, worse than this one, have we had with Icardi on the pitch?Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo make a difference but there are very few like them.Professionalism and self-respect are everything. Discipline is everything.
