“I think everyone played well and we proved that we are a great team,” Ljajic told Inter Channel.

Adem Ljajic insists Inter “proved we are a great team” despite their 2-1 defeat to new Serie A leaders Napoli.

The Serbia international scored despite his side going down to 10 men and only the woodwork and Pepe Reina’s fingertips prevented an equaliser in stoppages.

“I think everyone played well and we proved that we are a great team,” Ljajic told Inter Channel.

“A normal side doesn’t play like this in Naples, two goals down and a man down. This is football, we have to lift our heads tomorrow and get back to work preparing for the next game.

“We did everything possible to get a result, but were very unlucky hitting the woodwork twice.

“At a certain point I saw fear in the eyes of the Napoli players. If they’d had five substitutions, they would’ve thrown on five defenders.

“If we play every game like this, then in my view we’ll beat anyone. We worked hard and gave our all. I’m sad for Yuto Nagatomo, as he is a great guy and gives everything he’s got.”
