De Vrij: Inter Milan players are aware of the need for improvement

"We discussed this earlier and we understand that we need to make improvements," de Vrij stated during a press conference on Monday.

“It’s not only about the defenders; it concerns the whole team. We didn’t concede much last season, and it was the team’s merit. We keep an eye on what we are doing and discuss it.

“We knew it was important to bounce back (against Udinese) after a bad defeat. We knew how important it was.

“We made some good things, but we must improve in some others. We played as a team, and we secured a key victory.”
