Former Inter assistant coach Sinisa Mihajlovic blamed Jose Mourinho's training methods for the string of injuries that hit the Nerazzurri players. Several Inter players said the team's training became interesting under Mourinho but Mihajlovic has a different view. "Mourinho's preparations seem a bit strange to me," he told Tuttosport on Wednesday. "Teams don't usually train with a football from the very first day of pre-season. "Players are used to doing plenty of fitness work, running and strength work in the gym first." Portuguese coach Mourinho, who was appointed as Inter boss following the sacking of Roberto Mancini, opts for untraditional training sessions. Under his guidance, Inter players work more with the ball rather than trying to raise their fitness levels through physical exercises.
