The 43-year-old applauded a brace from new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the Devils beat French visitors Auxerre 2-0, but did not forget a bad 2-0 defeat against promoted Cesena in the Serie A last weekend.
\'We have work to do. We are just at the beginning,\' the new Devils\' coach said after his first-ever Champions League match. \'We have two new players (Ibra and Brazilian Robinho), but tonight (Wednesday) I saw a very good spirit of sacrifice.\'
Ibra savoured his brace in his first appearance with the Devils at the Giuseppe Meazza, where he played for three seasons with Inter Milan.
The Swede breezed over a remark earlier this week by Inter president Massimo Moratti, who said that Milan\'s crash at Cesena, with a penalty squandered by Ibra, had made a perfect day for Inter.
\'I do not think about what the others say, but only about my team and my fans,\' Ibra said.
He bristled, though, at criticism from former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi, inviting him to \'learn to stay silent. If he has something against me, he should come and tell me, not talk on TV.\'
The Devils are again at home late Saturday, welcoming minnows Catania in the third round of the Serie A, after Lazio visit a Fiorentina side seeking recovery from a 1-0 defeat at newcomers Lecce.
Continental and Italian champions Inter, meanwhile, did not shine on their Euro debut, settling for a 2-2 draw at Dutch champions Twente.
New coach Rafael Benitez is still tuning up his first-class side, a task he continues Sunday at so far disappointing Palermo.
The debut in the elite tournament was bitter for Roma, beaten 2-0 at Bayern Munich in the wake of poor showings in the Serie A.
Captain Francesco Totti and his team-mates seek a first win Sunday at home to Bologna, who held Inter to a scoreless draw in the season\'s first game.
Also on one point from two games are largely renovated giants Juventus, whose new coach Luigi Delneri adjusted his idea that the Serie A title is out of his side\'s reach.
\'I simply said that we set no limits for ourselves, but my words were not reported well,\' Delneri said.
Juve have to cope with several injuries as they visit Udinese in a return to their former club for Vincenzo Iaquinta, Fabio Quagliarella, Marco Motta and Simone Pepe.
Fast sides Bari and Cagliari promise a good show in a Sunday lunchtime game to be followed by a newcomers tie between Cesena and Lecce, Chievo\'s home game to promoted Brescia and Parma\'s hosting of Genoa.
