The 60-year-old thinks that the recent 4-0 loss to Roma will only spur on his players to improve. Ranieri also revealed that Wesley Sneijder is fit to play against Novara on Sunday and will definitely be taken into consideration.
"The fans can calm down. Before the game against Roma we had a good thing going, but they managed to get everything right and defeat us," the coach said during a press conference.
"I am serene, because if the team struggles, the lads will react, because they are true champions.
"The return of [Diego] Forlan, [Dejan] Stankovic and [Wesley] Sneijder are a great boost for us.
"Sneijder in particular is in very good shape and will definitely be taken it into consideration."
Inter will face Serie A basement boys Novara on Sunday at San Siro.
