Inter Milan skipper Javier Zanetti admits they're eyeing the Serie A lead after six consecutive victories.
Stramaccioni's men continued their impressive form on Sunday as they beat Catania 2-0 at San Siro.
"There is an awareness that the team has all the means to do well," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We want to finish as high as possible, but we will have to see what happens.
"Our intention is to continue to grow as a group, and as a team. We are slowly rising up the table and playing very well."
