Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho offered no excuses after their 1-1 draw with Bari.

"I cannot use [Esteban] Cambiasso's absence or the lack of a trequartista to justify this result, it is not the time to do that," commented the Coach.

"We have enough quality to win and did not do it because we played badly and Bari had a great performance."

Samuel Eto'o scored on his Serie A debut by converting a penalty, but Vitalii Kutuzov equalised and Bari could have won it at the death.

Next weekend Inter face Milan in the derby and Mourinho took a sideswipe at the media.

"Tomorrow I'll begin my work for the derby and would do exactly the same if it were against any other opponent.

"According to you Milan were a tiny side and Inter fantastic, but in the next week you'll paint them as the best and give us no chance."
