Rome - Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has played down the importance of his team's lead in the Serie A and quelled rumours of new arrivals when the transfer market opens in January. Inter's website Monday quoted Moratti as saying that "this is a good moment and there have been problems for the other teams. It was great that Inter played a very good first half (as they beat Napoli 2-1)."

The Italian champions at the weekend beat the Naples guests and now hold a six-point lead over AC Milan, who lost 3-1 at Palermo and trail second-place Juventus on goal difference. Inter have 33 points from 14 games.

"The conclusions must be drawn at the end of the season," Moratti said. "It's a difficult league and any team can have a bad day. Let's enjoy this Monday."

The president said he has no intention of intervening in the winter market, dismissing rumours of his interest in Chelsea striker Didier Drogba or in Napoli's Argentine Ezequiel Lavezzi.

"Inter have their own team, which is very strong. I appreciate our players and I'm not going to go on the market."
