Inter coach Leonardo denied his side have a problem in defence after they launched a remarkable comeback to defeat Palermo 3-2.

The Italian champions have scored 19 goals in the Brazilian coach’s eight games in charge but have leaked 12.

Leonardo denies they have a problem at the back.

“We gave away chances at the back but that’s because it wasn’t easy to reorganise ourselves after conceding an early goal,” he said.

“The balance, however, can also come from a team that is heavily weighted in attack if you score more goals than you concede.”

On Sunday Inter were boosted by a dream debut for Giampaolo Pazzini who scored a brace. “Coming back in a game like this and winning it sends out an amazing signal,” added Leonardo.

“And maybe not even Pazzini could have dreamed of a debut like this, with Pazzini (whose name means crazy little one) Inter are crazier than ever. Now in attack we have many options.”
