Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi urged calm after a poor 1-0 home defeat to Monza.
The result came with a second-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Benfica now to play.
“The team had a good first half that clearly deserved better, then the longer it went on without a goal, we got tense and lost our shape. It is a photocopy of the matches against Fiorentina and Salernitana, we are disappointed and angry," Inzaghi told Sky Italia.
“It's not true that we don't care about Serie A and only want to raise our game in the cup competitions. We really wanted to win and this negative result slows down our progress in the league.
“Incidents change games. If you look at the last three home matches, our statistics were actually better than the Champions League and Coppa Italia. Things just aren't going our way in Serie A, maybe it's not a coincidence that we always end up with the opposition goalkeeper being Man of the Match, whether it's Di Gregorio, Ochoa or Dragowski.
“Perhaps the team feels the pressure that we really need points in Serie A and that makes us frustrated, we lose our sharpness and don't move the ball around cleanly."
