Inter coach Jose Mourinho has admitted he thinks the Nerazzurri have improved since the sale of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona.
Inter were largely criticised in the Italian media for being too reliant on the Swedish striker last season, despite winning Serie A, with some pundits saying Mourinho's side employed nothing other than a 'pass it to Ibra' strategy.
In an interview with inter.it, Mourinho said, "the reality is that the side plays better (without Ibrahimovic), the team is now playing better playing football than it was last year."
The former Chelsea coach went on to praise the way the club reacted to the sale of their star player, but admitted there were some initial concerns about how they would handle the loss of their talisman.
"It is normal that a team asks questions and has doubts, and that's what happened when Inter decided to sell Ibrahimovic," he said. "Look at what we did after his departure. What the club did, the way in which the institution has managed the sale of Ibra economically and taken out what it wanted to spend on new players."
