Inter Milan coach Stefano Pioli called his side "disunited" in their 2-1 loss to Sampdoria on Monday, and said they have to play more as a team. Patrik Schick and Fabio Quagliarella each scored second-half goals after Danilo D'Ambrosio had given Inter the lead in the first 45 minutes, denying the hosts a chance to rise to fifth in the Serie A table. And Pioli told Premium Sport after thew match: "If it's like it was at the end [of the season] then it would be negative, but now we have to prove we're not the team we were in the second half. "You get whistled when you don't put your all on the pitch and express your qualities to the maximum. "That said, until Sampdoria equalised the team had played well, holding your opponent off isn't easy. "After that we were disunited, we had opportunities to get back in front but we had to be more of a team. That's the regret. "If you spend too much time playing individually then the team suffers. Samp gave us a lot of space on the wings and not very much centrally, we used that well but we lacked a precise cross. "Samp also had a chance at the end where we should have been more careful. We had heart, but if that comes at the expense of balance then it makes it difficult. "We always play to win, and on this occasion it took away our calm. The game wasn't finished on the 50th minute. "In the first half we were a team even when we weren't in possession, then we couldn't get the ball off Sampdoria and that unnerved us. "Even in the frenzy we had chances, but that's only a small part of the evaluation we need to make. We had to be a team for 95 minutes and we didn't do that." Pioli says despite his side's standing in the table, he does not fear for his job. "I don't have any fear or any thoughts other than getting the best out of these players," he said. "Results decide the future, but you're talking too much. I'm not worried and I'm not thinking about it.
"We'll make our assessments on May 28, we'll have other chances to show we're a team with value."
